My wife, Melanie, and I live in St. Augustine. We purchased our new 171 back in June of this year.  I had neck surgery a week later and we were unable to use the rpod until September. That was torture. We have since camped twice and have two more trips planned before year's end.  We absolutely love our pod.

Thanks to this forum I was able to learn so much about our new toy.  We were tent campers for years and there was so much to learn.  In fact, this site was one of the reasons we decided to purchase our pod.

I am a confirmed forum "lurker."  I read several internet forums almost daily and have never felt compelled to post until now.  You guys have one of the most informative and helpful sites I have seen.  No question is too silly and in these times where civility seems to be a thing of the past, kindness and respect are the norm here.  Thanks to all for making our entrance into the world of podding so much easier.

So glad to hear you love your Pod.  Congratulations, and welcome to posting and no longer just lurking.  We'll all be very excited to hear about your adventures and as you know, we love new questions!!!  Oh and pics!!

Greeting from another Saint Augustine Pod owner!  You make 3 of us now on here.  A senior moment is beating me over the head so I can't remember who the other one is.

Pictures and more pictures are required as proof of camping or it didn't happen.LOL

Welcome to the group!  Kari and I live down the coast from you, in Titusville, the center of the Space Coast.  Florida is finally starting to have a concentration of R-Pods.

Sounds like someone needs to plan a Florida get together. I would do it but I would like to attend one first LOL.

Welcome, Cajunsoul.  It is very affirming for the admins (me, TerryM, and rpodcamper) to read posts like this.  We work hard to do the stuff you mention in your post, with one addition that isn't very visible because we are so successful - keep the spammers out.  You wouldn't believe how many we block compared to the rare few that get a post or two on here before we nuke them.  We are here because we own pods, too.  Less obvious but mentioned many times is we welcome ex-podders and those that haven't ever owned a pod.
 
We've mentioned before that there is one other person to thank, our silent benefactor who keeps this site online at his expense AND without ads.

We are in Fort Myers! Not all the time, as we are snowbirds.  Looking forward to some camping in the pod.  But first, we have to head back to 25 degree nights so we can celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Not looking forward to cold temperatures for six full weeks!!!
