Our first big destination was Louisville, KY for the Kentucky Derby. My wife had a dream about a "horse on fire" winning the race, so we bet the farm on Firing Line to win. We also had some issues getting the water heater to work... EVENTUALLY we got it figured out. Until then however, we were forced into taking cold showers. Embarrassed

Here is the adventure that took place that weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNzid-dMX7I

HI my wife started in a 171, how are you guys doing in the limited space? How are you doing gas mileage wise?

Thanks for the question Leo. The next video we are posting will be the QnA.

It's been a few good days since I've posted anything. The reason is because I spent the last 5 days in Manchester, TN at Bonnaroo. Hell of a good time. I did see another R-pod as we were leaving. Shout at me If you went!

Anyway, I posted a new video yesterday. This is a tour of our camper... Literally our entire lives have been squeezed into this thing, lol. Touring the R-Pod

  Thank you for the tour, it brings back memories of our 171. Question have you tried or able to get any TV stations using the amplified antenna on your roof? It's not the best but if your close to a big city you may be able to pick up a TV signal. Have enjoyed your videos. Thank you

I'm very familiar with Manchester.  I went to college for 2 years 30 minutes north of there and my best friend lived in Manchester, very close to where Bonaroo is now held.  Didn't exist back then.  How did you like the festival?

  If you go to the Tullahoma news web site you can read about the Bonaroo festival.

Bonnaroo was great. We worked as vendors while we were there and made a little cash. Had a few nights off to experience music as well.

We have picked up a few channels using the antennae here near Nashville, but nothing incredible. 4 channels, 3 of which are shopping networks. I've heard of people getting up to 30 channels in this same park... Is there a way to amplify this thing that I may not know about?

   If you open up the cabinet above the sink on the right hand side there is a switch with a 12 volt outlet next to it. Its a little button when you push it in a little green light will shine. Being close to Nashville you should get several stations. In Tullahoma we would get about seven stations out of Huntsville Alabama which is about I guess 60 miles away,that was with our 171 when we owned it.

Spent many weekends prowling around Tullahoma, too.  Locals loved to cruise between the Sonic and a shopping center on the main strip.
