Been reading the site for some time but finally getting close to being an Rpod 172 Owner. We've considered owning an Rpod for about ~3 yrs after a 20day excursion with my Parents and their 5th Wheel back in 2010. However a house, Tow Vehicle, and 2nd child delayed the purchase just a bit. Looking forward to this summer though and hitting up the vast camping opportunities in Colorado (with some NM and WY likely mixed in).

Thanks to all the posters here, this site has been extremely helpful already and I'm certain will continue to be great source of info.

Official owners now. Put deposit down on the 172.. now to just wait for it to show up at the dealer in a few weeks.  

Already have 5-6 trips planned, including a nice ~2 week excursion here in Colorado.

After the wife made the 3rd or 4th set of reservations, figured I should probably make it official Smile

Shakedown trip also booked. Thankfully Cheyenne Mountain state park is only about 20min drive away. Very happy to have full hookups first time out and in particular to practice my first tank dumps on site. 

Was amazed though that the park is basically fully reserved up for the whole summer already, weekends in particular. Had to go early may to get a weekend site, hopefully it's not snowing.. this Winter means business (but if it means less fires, I won't complain).

No doubt an early camping adventure means burn restrictions may not yet be in effect. A nice way to keep warm on a late spring night!

Welcome from Washington State!  We were about where you were (with newness of R-Pod, but a few years older) last year this time.  Our first year we went on  five trips and I hear you about the need to make reservations early.   We're sure you will enjoy this first year very much!
