Took our 171 pod on first trip of the year last week. We were in a really nice campground with a beautiful view of the lake. My wife tripped on a curb stop and broke her fibula in two places. Looks like we won't be camping for a while.

Sounds like a good excuse for another camping trip where she can sit by a fire all weekend with her leg up!

Thanks for well-wishes. Wife doing well. Leg in cast for at least 4 weeks. Using the downtime to completely remove the lightbar. All screws were rusted so badly they would not back out. Would just spin. Pulled them all, cleaned old gasket and caulk and recaulked with good silicone caulk. Also sealed the hole where the wires fed the lightbar. I replaced the screws with stainless steel. I will eventually replace all screws with stainless. Ripples on inside of pod over the bed.
