Topic: Hello from brand new newbies Posted: 04 May 2012 at 3:41pm |
Greetings to any and all. We are a recently retired couple with our first ever trailer, it's a 2012 RPOD 171 Hood River edition which we just brought home.
We have never owned a trailer much less an RPOD. Any and all advice, comments and compliments will be gratefully read and returned if requested. One thing off the bat is what are the essentials to take with you when going off in your RPOD for a few days? Any storage ideas? We will send a picture later. Right now, we are still drooling and thinking about where to go. Burt and Laura |

Welcome and grats on your pod. Probably a good suggestion Is to driveway camp for a few days. That gives you a chance to decide what you need and or want in your pod. A few spices, cooking utensils Ect...

Hello Burt and Laura and welcome to this wonderful tribe of strangers that share the life of living in a small strange shaped fiberglass egg!
My suggestion is to turn off the TV (the boob tube, not the vehicle), start at the top of each topic on this forum and the other one and spend several evenings exploring the adventures we have shared. it be like sitting around the table sharing a pitcher of beer or iced tea ort your favorite soft (or hard ) drink. go to the beginning of each thread and work your way to the presnt day. tha amount of information is totally unbelievable, if not overwhelming ( ) . {In any event it is more info than we can input in a single post!! So, enjoy your new toy! Remember that we all started where you are not so long ago!! All the best with your new toy. ask lots of questions, send more pictures and become part of the clan! Walt |

Welcome! You are going to love the Pod. A word of warning - be ready to give tours of your Pod to other people in the campgrounds. Everyone is always curious about them.

Just last week we traded our Lance Truck Camper 815 for a 2010 R-Pod 177. We are full-timers and most think we were crazy for living in the Lance, much less the r-pod. We believe in keeping things simple and this Pod fits the bill. We pull it with a 3/4 ton pickup so we have extra storage for all the things we can't get into the trailer, in the bed of the truck. We are also workampers so don't spend 24 hours a day in the trailer either.
We love it so far but I have questions on some of the features. I will get to those later. Thanks for having this forum, and we'll be using it frequently. |
