P-pod for dry camping?

Originally posted by MarkW Thanks.  I'm not too worried about weight.  It's 2825# dry and we'll be towing with empty tanks at all times.  One of my first mods is going to be to pull the toilet and replace it with a porta potty...    We've been used to tent-camping where we travel by air and have to take our gear in checked luggage -- so we do know how to travel light.  Bikes will be in or on top of the TV.  Kayak is a 40# tandem inflatable.  I may remove the air conditioner and replace with a skylight vent (Gulfstream wouldn't let us order without the AC -- too busy right now to do those kinds of custom orders, I guess).  The microwave is probably going to go into storage too.  This is the actual trailer, BTW: https://www.mikejonesmotors.com/--xInventoryDetail?id=9817089

Never believe what's printed on the webpage or on the sticker...weigh the trailer and verify it.

Thanks.  I'm not too worried about weight.  It's 2825# dry and we'll be towing with empty tanks at all times.  One of my first mods is going to be to pull the toilet and replace it with a porta potty.  That way there's no need to for campgrounds with dump stations -- just empty the porta pottie into the pit toilet.  The blackwater system will probably never be used, at least by us.  We've been used to tent-camping where we travel by air and have to take our gear in checked luggage -- so we do know how to travel light.  Bikes will be in or on top of the TV.  Kayak is a 40# tandem inflatable.  I may remove the air conditioner and replace with a skylight vent (Gulfstream wouldn't let us order without the AC -- too busy right now to do those kinds of custom orders, I guess).  The microwave is probably going to go into storage too.  This is the actual trailer, BTW:

Mark, that is the trailer we really wanted to get, but transporting it to the west coast made it too expensive for us.  It's a really nice trailer, well laid out and functional.  As I mentioned in another post, we got a Sonoma that is about the same size, differing mostly by the rear full bath configuration instead of in the center.  

Just to close the loop on this thread, I looked at the 179 and it was a little tired.  Walked across the lot and looked at a '21 Gulfstream Vintage Cruiser and decided to go that way with their 17rwd.  We really like the woody interior, dry bath, and extra width without a slide.  The oven option is nice too.  I may keep lurking around here a bit though -- there are a lot more pods and pod-owners around and there's lots of good info here.  Thanks for all the earlier feedback.
