Yeah, i think 4wd does decrease mileage as it sits up higher and added weight.......they may even use different rear ends with the 4wd.  After reading the posts, I feel great getting 15-15 1/2 mpgwith the pod......and I do have 4wd.  I did notice a jump in mileage when I replaced the trailer tires with
Carlysles.  Tire dealer said that the original tires on the pod were more like car tires. 
Truck is a Ford 150, K&N FIPK, 4wd, 5.0L V-8

Just wanted to see if any fellow Canadians are interested in joining the NE roundup that is currently being planned for Quechee VT on Canadian Thanksgiving weekend?

Yes, The bush plane museum, also a little further north is the Agawa Indian Pictographs, Canadian carver and Agawa crafts. Plus the view and shoreline of the north highway is breathtaking. The transcanada hiway skirts the shore of lake superior while heading north

AND....there's a great Canadian Bush plane Museum in the Canadian SSM.  for me, it was one of the best museums I've ever been too.  Wish they would offer Beaver flights.......

I'm in for anything in the NE, including New Brunswick, ME, VT, NH, etc.
I still think that the Bay of Fundy is something everyone should see, especially Flower Pot Rocks.  If we are going to do a Canadian site we need to announce it in time for those that don't have passports to get theirs.  As always I would be willing to do a 'How to solar power your R-Pod" workshop/information session as I've been doing solar powered camping for at least 14 years.  Just my .02 worth.

We are located on the hub of the Great Lakes right on Lake Superior. There is a beautiful provincial park named pancake bay about 1 hr north of Sault Ste. Marie. This is also bordering the upper peninsula of northern Michigan.  They have a group camping area and beautiful sand beach. We are self employed and hard to get away. Anyways thought I'd mention it. Check out the link

Bumping this thread to see if any Canadians are interested in joining us for our 2014 Northeast Roundup.  We're still deciding where to go and when Wink Wink


Alternately, if anyone is interested in organizing a Canadian roundup....

ooooh....and Algonquin Park is probably my favorite campground in the world.  Although it's a trek from here, I'd love to explore the Gaspe Peninsula sometime and would love to hear from anybody that's been there.
