Hi folks. Just picked up our first camper, a new 2012 176T. It was 7+ hours away, but it was the closest 176T I could find - and once I set my sights on something, there is no stopping me..... So, the boy (5 years old) and I spent the first night in it at the dealers lot, had a blast checking it all out, and slept like a baby (me too!). Signed the papers in the morning and headed back home. Can't wait for the first camping trip!

What a neat shakedown experience to sleep there at the dealer lot, sounds like the start of some good memories for you and your family.
 
Congratulations on the Pod!

Thanx for the welcome messages - starting to feel welcome as a newbie.

Can't wait for the mods! I am definitely into that. Actually, the mattress went flat through the first night in the dealers lot. I left it with them and they are warranty'ing me a new one. I'm thinking about a new one anyway. Maybe a thick foam one that I can fold the end up during the day. I have an idea that I'll post in the mods section for a little pod-back (feedback)...

    Welcome, that had to be cool to get to try out the POD for a night and then sign for it the next morning.  If you did not like it that would be like getting a free night, except for the drive.    Goose
