Hi -
We are on our first R-Pod venture - heading to the Adirondacks for a visit!  We're not new to the RV world but, we are accustomed to more space... so far, so good.  Just have to share this: Our first stop was in a Wal Mart in Ohio. Twice we noticed folks looking our unit over... the first guy "mouthing" R POD; R POD; like registering it in his brain.  The second guy kept looking at it for several minutes and then came over and snapped several photos on his phone.  Guess they both liked it!!  Ermm

Get used to it.  It is quite uncommon for us to camp somewhere and not give a tour.  This has happened at shopping stores, filling stations and rest stops as well.  Glad you like your 180.  May you be blessed with safety on the road and many memorable experiences along the way.

We get a lot of lookie loo's coming up to us and asking about our Pod or just saying "nice rig". It's one of the free neat bonus of owning one. Enjoy your 180!

Welcome.  Like you we are used to a larger TT.  Bought the Rpod to two with our Jeep and to be able to get into smaller campsites.  Downsizing has been “fun”, I’m sure you carried more than you every used in your larger unit. We sure do/did.

We would walk through campgrounds or see Rpods on the road and liked them.  Now we see folks looking at ours and talking about it, just like we did.  Had some folks stop and ask.

Enjoy!
