We are here in Green River. We'll drive around and try to find where you're parked; but if you need anything, write back now. I'll keep watching this post. Where were you towed?

There is no way to directly post the video. It would far exceed the file size limitations. It really does not show much since it is showing only what is straight ahead. It shows the movement back and forth and then around, but does not show the trailer. |

The R-Pod is parked in the back lot of Norberg's Towing. The car may be there or it may have already been moved to Yeager's body shop. The R-Pod is locked up and the battery cut-off switch is set to disconnect the batteries to keep them from being run down. I got some Gorilla tape and used some wood from a crate to fill the hole and tape over it. Before we get on the road with it, I would like to get a piece of plywood to put over the tape and seal it better so that it will keep wind and snow/rain out until we can get it home and get it fixed properly. |

We live about a half mile from Yeager's to the west off of Flaming Gorge Way. When you come back through, if you need anything let us know. I open this forum almost every day but didn't look at all over the weekend. Really sorry I didn't catch it sooner, or we might have been able to help out somehow. Our son lives in SLC. Hope you're there safely by now. Merry Christmas.

We are at our daughter's house now. The R-Pod is still in Green River. We still need to get the R-Pod from there to here. Given that the car is going to take some time to get repaired, we are shopping for a suitable used TV. We were over at Carmax today as well as checking out the local market for suitable vehicles. We may have found one that will work. |

Sorry to read of your travels and challenges. Like others have said, most important that everyone is ok. Things can be fixed / replaced. I live within a couple of miles of the Carmax where you are shopping. Glad to help if there is anything I might be able to assist you with. Best wishes for a successful outcome to your situation and Merry Christmas.

Motor Sportsland (on State Street in Salt Lake) is where we purchased our R-pod in 2013. They're really a great dealer with a good service department. You might check out whether they could repair yours. You had mentioned Camping World, but I don't think they even sell R-pods, at least the one in Kaysville doesn't. In Green River, you might also check out Adams RV. They might be able to repair it without you having to transport it to SLC.

I want to get our R-Pod to where we are. There are things in it that we need to get, which we can't do if it is up in Green River. I appreciate the Motor Sportsland information. I will contact them tomorrow morning to see what I can find out from them about our situation. I appreciate it. |

I've looked at some pickup trucks today. A diesel Ford F250, but it has some significant oil leakage problems. That was from a private seller. At Carmax in South Jordan, we looked at a Nissan Frontier with a king cab. It has a 6500 lb tow limit. I also looked at a Chevy Avalanche, but it was older. As much as I would like a diesel vehicle, the Nissan seems like a better choice at this time. We still need to find out what will happen with our Escape. I hope to hear something more definite tomorrow. I'm trying to keep this to under $20,000. |
