I have been viewing the forum for a few months. It was extremely helpful in making a decision on a model and on how to get a really good price from a local dealer.

Glad to have you getting back into camping, and even better that you're getting into Podding!  Welcome!

We just ordered our 172 from Horn's in Sheboygan.  Maybe our pods are on the same assembly schedule.  We are getting excited!  Where in Sconnie are you?  We are in Madison.

Excellent dealer.  That is where we got our pod.  Mine will be there soon to prep for the season.  I feel a west trip coming this year so will get it all looked over good.

They will give you an excellent walk through and be there for questions and concerns.

Where in Wisconsin are you?

Horn's is our dealer also. We live in Fredonia about 20 minutes south of Horn's. We talked to them at the Milwaukee RV show the last 2 years and went to their open house last spring. At the open house they had the whole staff working. We had a service tech who knows RVs and was very positive about R-Pods.

We are in Madison but did not like the dealer here and my sister lives in Sheboygan so we go there pretty often.  I liked our guy, Andy, right off the bat because he seemed to be very straight with his info and opinions.  Glad to hear you both had good experiences too.  We are definitely heading west in September or so.  That will be our first big trip.  However, we will probably do a shake down when we pick it up at Kohler Andre if there is a site available then.  Other options would be Point Beach or Kettle Moraine but it all depends on timing.  We think ours will arrive in July so sites might be full.
