Thank you, Camper Bob and CharlieM your last two posts make more sense. I agree the auto industry is way ahead of the RV industry when it comes to quality. There is a RV manufacture rating somewhere I had looked at before on the internet and think it may of been more in truth with customer satisfaction. That was when I was interested in Outdoor RV and that company had a good rating along with some others but I don't remember Forest River being near the top. Not putting Forest River down they have some good campers compared to several other manufactures. We very happy with the quality of our R-pod. I found the site I mentioned for RV manufacture ratings rv-coach.com

If FR is number 1 in travel trailers I would not want to pull around or camp in the others

"There are lies, damn lies, and statistics"
Anyone can make the numbers look to be in their favor if they try. I do know that FR isn't "the best" in some categories that matter to me. But they are good enough, so to speak. We have no complaints about our Pod, and have nothing but good experience in our dealings with FR. I really never understand Pod bashing.. people buy the least expensive, fully featured, TT in it's class/size, then moan when it turns out they didn't get an Airstream for 1/3 to 1/4 the money. |

Funny thing for me.. I can go sit in the woods, back to a tree for days, love hunting, may not see a deer or turkey or whatever.. still happy to hunt. Fishing?? 37 seconds and I am done. Fish could be leaping in the boat.. not interested. And it's huge here. All my family fish. Last year, all my adult nephews and my dad and my brothers all went deep sea fishing for a week.. they didn't even bother to call and ask me. They know the answer. I have tried everything from trolling, to deep sea, to fly fishing in the high mountains for trout.. just don't like it. Even ice fishing with my brother in MN.. Liked visiting with him, and listening to tunes and drinking a couple cold ones.. didn't even wet a line. But yeah, there are some people with to few outlets for their pent up energy.. Camping is supposed to help with that... |

I don't need the hobby of fishing, I need the hobby of catching. I've tried the former, but it didn't lead to the latter. Amazing how smart fish can be. Guy on my left is catching; guy on my right is catching; me - not so much.
Camp on. |

My dad was a very serious fisherman-even more so after he retired. He always said" never get fishing and catching confused. If you want to have fun, go fishing. If you want to eat fish go to the fish market"
I did not inherit his skill Vann

As a matter of fact I do not mind fish/seafood.. In fact, it was what was for dinner last night. I fished as a kid. My parents live in the central valley of Cali, lots of fishing in an hour or two drive.. We had a slough not far from the house, maybe a mile, many a catfish came out of there to our grill. We were close enough to the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers that salmon could be caught, thrown in a creel or cooler, and still be pissed off when you got back to the house. My dad knows about a zillion ways to cook salmon and trout. |

Furpod, I'm just like you. Tried it many times as a kid, even did a deep sea day trip in my 20's.
