How many of you will be using your R-Pod in one form or another all year long, over the winter?  For us, ours will be winterized but stay plugged in all winter.  The frig will remain on and in use.  A couple times over the winter, the wife and I will use it for winter camping/sleeping right in the back yard where it sits.

that sounds like fun, Ours is winterized and plugged in also, I do have the fridge off but latched open.  One thing I intend to do this winter is learn how to use a Convection Microwave, I can preheat and experiment on making dishes all winter long, May even take a nap in it. see ya on the road.

We'll be out next weekend and mid January. Then the Free Spirit will stay plugged in and ready to travel at a moments notice.

You, too rex.

Mine is winterized but still on the driveway so still plugged in.  Once the ground freezes up I'll move it to its usual storage spot in the backyard.  It has just been so wet all summer and fall that if I tried to move it now the pod and TV would be stuck.

Rex, I fly fished as a young man, then got into Bass boats and cranking gear. Later Ultra light, This past fall I bought myself a 5 weight 4 piece grafite for my 62'nd birthday, and fish Indian creek near my home in southern Indiana, caught some nice small mouth bass, and a mess of goggle eye (rock bass) a gizzilian little sun fish, I am rusty but getting back in the grove, the Fly rod is going in the Pod so when we travel I can slip out and slip into a stream, fresh fished fried up in the pod (or outside) It does not get any better.

Last Winter I used my R-pod alot!  We dry camped in it and also found that it is not fun towing during snow storms.  At one of the Camp Grounds we used We had to leave it and come back for it as We could not get out with the camper.  There were about 10 of us there that had to do that.   I also plan on doing some camping again this winter but time right now is against me.  Your welcome to come over to French Creek in January.
