New RPod 172 HRE Owner

We became new RVers and Rpod owners yesterday.  We picked up our 172 HRE from Sutton RV in Eugene.  We drove back to Seattle today and all went well for my first time towing anything.  We are towing with a 2010 Xterra Off Road, which worked admirably.  

I've been lurking on here for months enjoying all of the new rpod stories, mod stories, and general knowledge sharing.  I'm a complete noob to this world so I'm sure I'll have lots of questions. 

Our first camping trip (I should say night) will be May 7th...I'm taking my boys to Deception Pass State Park.  After that we are going to Lake Easton State Park in early June.  We also have plans to go to Millersylvania State Park and Taidnapam Park.  

See my blog for photos (at least until I figure out how to link to my photos)

I think we've decided to name it Pod-a-saurus

Can't wait to get out to the campgrounds.

Paul

	Welcome! Practice backing up at a school this weekend, so you'll have an easier time when you go out on your first trip. Any questions, fire away.
