P40 Warhawk has always been my favorite airplane. I'm in avaition and if I could afford to own one I would but that's just a pipe dream, there aren't many of them left flying.

Welcome to the forum!

Just curious: Are you just a fan of the P-40 Warhawk or did you fly one?

Hi Jeff,

The dealer you see tomorrow will know weights, but the bottom bunk will easily accomodate the weight of an adult.

Good luck and happy shopping.

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
