Well   ...today was "poop or getoff the pot day" !   We are nowmthe proud owners of a 2012 model 177 Hood River Edition R-Pod. We get our orientation and haul it home on the 29th. Big step up for us    ...having moved from a T@B to an R-Pod. Really looking forward to having a bed that stays a bed and a decent place to sit inside and eat a meal, not to mention a nice kitchen area. We come from a long-distance backpacking background, both of us having hiked the entire Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. So, even the T@B was a huge step for us.

Anyway    ...we're part of the R-Pod community now.

Best regards,

MJ

Great Slogger, its ok to have a nice bed and a place to enjoy a meal, I used to hump the hills of Southern Indiana, Mushroom hunting, fishing, squirell hunting, genseng, bow hunting, I still love the outdoors and enjoy them at a lower velocity, at 62 I can still hump the hills, but its nice to come back to the Pod and enjoy the outdoors, Your going to have a blast.

Just curious.  Does your new R-Pod have the black trim like this new 2012?  Even the AC cover is black!   
 
I'm still trying to make up my mind if I like it or not. Except it's a moot point - I ALREADY have an R-Pod! Wink

Roger that !   We are both avid outdoor people but I had one of those "out of left field" heart attacks (no history or symptos) so we've had to scale back/modify our activities. RV'ing has openned up a lot of doors. Looking forward to enjoying the outdoors again    ...in oir Pod !

No black trim on ours. Maybe it's not part of the Hodd River program ?

I too am having trouble deciding if I like the black trim or not...also looks like the body is cream colored instead of white?
