Topic: Campground rules. Tents and R-dome Posted: 01 Sep 2014 at 6:03pm |
We Are new Pod owners. Actually we haven't taken delivery of our Pod yet. (48 more hours)
But we have been doing all kinds of research on everything RV'ing. One thing we have run across is several campgrounds have rules like no tents whatsoever. So my question is, have any of you who have read this and own the Rpod, especially the 176T and R-Dome, have you gotten any static from campgrounds while using your tent and R-dome Awning? I don't consider the R-dome a tent myself as it serves as our RV awning, Thoughts?? Thank you in advance |

Yes, I have had problems in my travels. My advice is to just go with the flow.
Anywhere that doesn't allow easy-ups or dining tents will likely also disallow an r-dome. And, obviously, large cement pads/patios make it difficult/impossible to stake down a dome anyway. Generally, these are RV-resorts which cater to Class As and fifth wheels, so the r-pod was a little out of place anyway.

Welcome to the Pod side. Any campground that doesn't want a podder, screw 'em. Let us know, we will boycott.
Pods rule!

We stayed in a very nice RV park in Golden Colorado that prohibited Tents or stakes driven into the ground. Reason being is that they have a sprinkler system installed that they water the grass with at night. Its so dry out there that no watering means a dusty sandy campsite. The thing that bothered us the most was the no campfire rule. We'll need to get a campfire in a can....

Thanks everyone.
TechNtrek: 5 Star resorts?? well I had not thought to pay any attention to that. Definitely not looking for that. I am just nervous about pulling into a resort and pulling out the tent on the 176T and getting some grief. Speaking of that, I haven't noticed any 176T owner profiles on here yet |

T models are very rare. We have camped with probably a hundred different pods at this point, and only once with a T model. I do understand there are campgrounds with no awning/tent/mat/easyup rules. Have not stayed in one yet. I guess I would if I had to, but I would just go somewhere else if at all possible. I doubt they will give you grief about the "tent" on a T model, since it isn't on the ground, which is the issue. That style of TT is called a "hybrid", and there are LOTS of other brands with a hybrid model... I do understand there are some western National Parks that don't allow "soft sides".. because of bears and such.. |

I have also heard about certain National Partks and campgrounds that dont allow soft side camping bear of the bears.
