techntrek, thank you so much for the advice on how to prevent condensation! I get up every morning and wipe all the windows down with much frustration. This info is greatly appreciated. Happier trails for sure!

Condensation - always leave the vent open an inch and a window open an inch.

Well first trip done, so much nicer than sleeping in a tent. Found three things that need fixed though. Some staples came out of one of the walls, the one tail light has some LEDs that are not working, and we had a bunch of condensation on the inside wall of the slide out when we woke up in the morning. Not sure if the top of the slide out is going in as far as it should either seems like the cauking around it is bubbling out. Good thing we got the 5 year warranty.

We have taken our teardrop all over the eastside including the Blues. I grew up about 75 miles from the top of Cabbage hill. We have yet to get over there with the GrimPod but hope too soon!!....The Ochocos in Central Oregon are our destination this weekend!

You folks from Oregon need to take your pods over to the Blue Mtns.  No one goes there - everyone is over on the coast.  We are often the only ones in the NF campgrounds.

Welcome to the group. As you can see by my screen name we live here in Coos Bay also. We got our 180 not too long ago and love it!
