Wahoo! New PodMonster! - Event Date: 17 Aug 2012

Today we settled on the R-Pod 182G and we are so excited!  The most spontaneous decision I've ever made!  Going from tent camping (most of my life), to pretty bare bones tent trailer to the PodMonster.  

Welcome.

In our garage area, we use the far left side (opposite sink) to carry a small griddle, electric hot plate burner, and larger cooking utensils. In the middle cubbies, we keep spices in bottles and other smaller cooking items. We ordered 4 more medium baskets from Versa-Trac for the wall system, and put a paper towel holder on the right side wall. It's pretty well decked out for all our cooking needs.

We use the top bunk exclusively for storage of the mattress topper and all our dog stuff. Under the lower bunk, you can find extra storage on the left side, the area that is screwed down. I put hinges on that area, and we use it for lighter things, such as extra toilet paper, paper towels and regular towels.

Enjoy your new 182G - you'll have a blast!

We have the 176T (pop out bed where your kitchen is) but we use a mattress topper, too. If it is just the 2 of you, could you fold/roll up and store the topper on the backside of the dinette on the long cushion; leaving the opposite sides of the dinette open for seating?

Donna and I have a 4 inch dual foam firm mattres when not in use I roll it up and secure with 2 bungee cords, I leave them under the mattress when sleeping, your cant feel it I also made a folding 1/4 inch luan plywood (doubler) this goes between the foam and the exsisting cushions in the rear dinette area (172) its a little hassle about 2 or 3 minutes, to set up, we store the rolled up foam and the 1/4 doubler on the top bunk during the day, this leaves the lower for nap time. ohh p.s. I got the mattress at walmart for $99.00 its a full size, fits almost perfect and sleeps like a dream, its almost as good as our home big bucks mattress.
