Enter pod while hooked to vehicle?

Hi everyone. Complete newbie here! We've ordered our pod but don't expect to pick it up until January. We're planning to take a long trip next spring, traveling with two toddlers. I was wondering... if we're pulling the pod and want to stop for lunch, is it okay to enter the pod to access/prepare food while it's still attached to the tow vehicle? Or should we only enter if it's completely detached, with wheel chocks and stabilizer jacks in place? We're trying to figure out if it's best to pack a cooler for the car-trip portion and keep it in the car,  if we'd have the option to stop and prepare meals. Thanks for your help! 

Absolutely OK to enter and use the Pod while attached. Just be sure the TV brakes are set and the Pod's not going anywhere. We often make overnight stops without disconnecting, setting the stabilizers, or hooking anything up. Just open the door and climb in.

I agree with all of the above. In fact, it is one of the nicer things about RVing. I'll stop at a rest stop, fix a sandwich, grab a soda pop, give my dog a drink of water, etc. before continuing on. Use the same area as the big trucks....big parking spaces and easy in/out.

You are all so helpful--thank you! I love this forum :)

I had my artist daughter make a cutesy cardboard sign that says "Jack".  I leave it on my seat when the jack is down so I don't forget.
