   Hi All,
Just found this forum and have been pouring through a lot of the mod threads as well as any other information I can get about the R-Pod.

This will be my first RV purchase however I have spent 4 weeks on a trip out west with 4 adults in a small toy hauler in Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks and learned quite a bit about what I liked and didn't like. Storage space and room where the biggest issues but that trailer really wasn't suited to long stays.

For me, I'm single but do have a travelling companion sometimes so space won't be as much of an issue. I've been looking at the 182G for a couple of reasons. When I'm by myself I can just use the bunks and not have to worry about making up a bed and when I have company the bunks are available for them. Does anyone know if those bunks are okay for adults?

I like the rear garage since I found we did most of our cooking and cleaning outside. Plus the huge sink in the back is great for washing dishes and you don't have to have a separate dish washing station.

Honestly, all my research is based on research I've done online, I plan to get a first hand look at the different models tomorrow. I have been looking at some of the other brands such as the Palomini and was leaning that way until I saw the floor plans available in the R-Pod.

Any advice for a first timer would be welcome. I've tent camped most of my life and even though the toy hauler trip wasn't a success, I did see how much nicer it is to have an RV.

Thanks again!

Jeff
