Hello everyone - my name is Terry and I live in the Seattle area. I just returned from a drive over to Blue Dog RV in Post Falls, Idaho to pick up my 2014 model 178. It's a dream come true, especially when towing it. I barely knew it was there until I hit the mountain (Snoqualmie Pass) pass coming back. However, I set the cruise to 60 and it didn't budge and inch.

I had religiously studies all the smaller trailers under 20 ft and came to the conclusion that it would be hard to beat the benefits of an R-Pod. I called Poulsbo RV here in the Seattle area and they wanted $22,500 - but would come down to $21,500 just because they liked me. I hated the archaic salesman pressure like they used in the old day - Poulsbo still teaches that I guess. I called Blue Dog and they quoted me $14, 450 bucks - loaded. Lydia was a VERY nice lady to deal with at Blue Dog. They greeted me when I walked in the door - fetched me a Pepsi and another concierge person personally golf-carted me to my R-Pod for a quick look see. Buying it was totally hassel-free, like all sales should be.

I look forward to my first trip this coming week to the WA State Trapshooting Championships in Little Rock, WA. My thanks to all you forum members for your informative posts - mine is a perfect example where a buying decision was made because of the posts you all have made here. I named mine "Podcicle" - cause it makes the mouth water Big smile

Welcome to the world of podding Terry2Cent. Nice to meet a fellow Pacific NW (though I'm a bit further north).

Just getting around to posting on the forum.  We've had our pod since late May and have take a couple of trips.  The adventures and lessons are being logged on our web site, rpawd.com

Here's a pic of our tow vehicle, a 2008 Saturn Vue XR.  Has done nicely over multiple high mountain passes in Colorado, but I try not to push it too much.  Heading east over I-70 was the toughest - down to about 25-30mph in 2nd gear (manual overdrive).  Most other passes I'd be able to do about 40mph in 3rd or 4th.

A week in the Okanagan.   Camping for the first time.  Rpod 172 was the perfect fit.
