Hello from new R-Pod 178 owner in Ottawa - R-pod Owners Forum

Thanks Outbound. I'll give it a try.

BTW, I will be driving past Oshawa en route to Scarborough for the Robbie Soccer Tournament in Scarborough next weekend sans R-Pod.

I'll give you a wave from the 401!

We have had our 178 for about a month, and I love it, we downsized from a larger hybrid travel trailer now that our four kids are older and no longer want to camp with dear old mom and dad. This July we are taking the pod down to Florida to visit our son who is in the Marines, and the other three kids want to see their brother of course, so we will be squeezing as many of us as we can in the pod and drawing straws for the tent.

Hello ron_whitt,

Sorry that we won't be at Murphys Point this weekend. It is actually our favourite Provincial Park. Our preferred site was 147 in Fallows but it doesn't allow travel trailers. We typically went on the long weekend before school and took in the Perth Fair and picked up some local corn to boil.

We have booked Murphys Point for mid-September and will be in 61 in Hoggs Bay.

We also went back to Charleston Lake last year and discovered that they have an area away from the beach where dogs are allowed to swim off leash. Needless to say we are heading back there at the end of August.

Coupled with Bonnechere at the beginning of August and Grundy Lake near Sudbury for the Thanksgiving Weekend we don't have many weekends left ;-)

If this schedule doesn't give the R-Pod a work-out, I don't know what will.

BTW, I hear that there was a mini-convention of R-Pods last year at Murphy's Point. Sounds like a plan. Maybe there are more of us in Ontario than I thought. (Yes, we are getting ours from Travel-Mor).

Cheers,

David

	David, welcome to the world of podding. Did you get your pod at travel-mor, that's where we got ours. Try Murphy's Point Prov. park. pull through sites, just south of Perth about 10min. We will be there this Saturday coming home Wed. Its close by really nice park, also try Charleston Lake prov. park no pull throughs but again nice park with lots of hiking.

	We have our two younger kids (8&4) on the dinette with sleeping bags. I did put a waterproof mattress pad and fitted sheet over the cushions for protection. No topper for them as they are small and lightweight. Our teen is sleeping on the floor on a camping mat. In front of the fridge might be a good spot for a dog - out of the doorway and access to toilet.

	Yippee! Picked up our 178 today. Would love to include a photo with my online signature but I am not sure how to do that. Could someone please help. And remind me how to re-size the photo so that it fits. Many thanks, David

	Looks good. I like this color scheme, although I'm not thrilled that the accent color is black, especially the stuff on the roof. RVs use white roofs for a reason.

	I think the color/accent scheme is great, similar to the 2013 scheme......but even better!
