   Greetings!Been a long time fan of R-Pods and have been looking for one for the past couple of years.  Finally decided to take the leap and get one.  We have been camping with a 1968 Play-Mor 10.5' canned ham trailer and with my wife, a 4 yo, 1 yo and a 95 lbs boxer bull mastiff, we have quickly run out of room.

I won an auction on eBay for a 2010 R-Pod 176T and will be driving from Atlanta, Ga to Walcott, Ia to pick it up on Friday.

Have been reading a bunch about them from this forum and others and am excited to join the community.  We'll be towing it with our 2007 Honda Odyssey.  I added a plate and fin transmission cooler and a class III hitch when we got the Play-Mor and will be adding a weight distributing hitch and brake controller when we pick it up at the dealer.

Perhaps we'll see some of you on the road!

	Welcome! That's quite an initial adventure. Safe travels, and check out the list of pHp'ers along your route- just in case.

	Thanks for the tip, Bob and Joyce. Will definitely look into it and will probably add myself to the list of pHp'ers. Being in the IT profession, pHp here has a different meaning than what I am accustomed to!

	Welcome, when in Walcott fuel up at I-80 Truck Stop (Worlds Largest Truck Stop) and walk down to the Chrome Shop to check out the wall of lights. All kinds for the inside and the outside, neat old trucks all over too. Goose

	Thanks for the tip on the truck stop, Goose! Looks like the dealer is right on the other side of I80. Will definitely drop in and check it out.

	GaRedneck81, might just take you up on that. Will depend heavily on how our time looks getting back. This is going to be a crazy trip as far as distance covered and time allotted.
