Robullelk, We also have a 172, no matter what model you will love it, go slow on the mods until you have used it a few times, some you will want, some are dependent upon use. No matter a bad day podding is better than a good day at work.

Hi All,Kind of new at all this internet stuff. Not sure how to post, but thought I'd reply to this "thread" because I'm new. Just purchased 172 from Sutton. Pick up 10/26. Taking tour of factory. Spoke w/Susan quite a lot.
Picked Sutton because the 4 other dealers in the pacific nw+w just told me to take it or leave it and did not have competitive pricing. Sutton is doing some custom mods (mostly electrical) that I gleaned from this forum. Will let all know how the Sutton things turns out when I finally take delivery next week, but I want to say this forum has saved me ~nkthousands of $$. Will keep all posted on how I do. obtw: Hood River. Still out on generator, solar system. Regards all, Robullelk

Hi Carl's cats,,
Welcome to podding! Be aware that in many places, especially state parks, like in PA, you are considered the same as members of the canine ilk (oh the horror!) and thus your owners will be relegated to camp in the "pets" section and be charged an extra fee for the night. I have yet to bark, poop on the campsite driveway, or steal any campers steak off the grill, but still they insist on this policy. Just a warning. I find it maddening, but still the rules are the rules, and I am only a little guy! Have fun in your new traveling home. Ask your people to fix up a nice shelf under one of the windows so you can watch the world go by when they are out there having a good time! Dusty, the camping kitty. |

Hello fellow pod'rs,
We just purchased a new 177 for our cats and we are hoping that they will allow us to use the pod for a few trips early in 2013. We purchased the pod in Fremont, Ohio and had a wonderful experience with the dealer. We camped on the return trip and everything went fine. We are not new RV'rs but we hadn't had an RV for several years so we need some reminders. Thanks to the forum as you all reminded me of things I should remember!! We are towing with a 2008 Toyota Sienna w/towing package and the rig seems to work well. We purchased the bike rack and R-dome. The cats have ask that we watch the weight of our supplies and such so they can take plenty of food & toys along. Hope to see you on the road Carl & Judy Carson Cats (Five & George) Horseheads, NY |
