Yes, camping in the R POD sure beats the tent.  We tent camped for 20 years.  Now we have a comfortable bed, heat when we need it and a nice place to play board games during a rainstorm. We love the POD!
Hey there LarryK!  Another Spokanite!!  Both of us were born & raised there and we lived there until moves took us to Seattle and Charlotte for the past 16 years.  I know exactly what you mean by not having hook-ups at most of the campgrounds around there, having camped all over the NW area.  That was one of the biggest differences we found down here in the Carolinas ... most all of them have hook-ups it seems.
 
Whereabouts do you mostly go out to around there?
P & M ... and Comet too!

P & M,
We camp every year at Gillette Lake Forest Service campground in Stevens county.  Gillette is part of the Little Pend Oreille Chain of Lakes off of Highway 20, 11 miles southwest of Ione, WA.  This year we also camped at Lake Leo Forest Service campground, 5 miles west of Gillette.  Lake Leo is a nice quiet place, with bald eagles and other interesting birds. Gillette is more active, but a very nice place. 

This fall we camped at Steamboat Rock State Park on Banks lake.  It was beautiful mild weather and no wind for 4 days, if you can believe that.  My wife and I love to kayak.  The lake was like glass.

We probably will go out to central Washington again in the early spring, when there is still snow in the northern mountains.  We want to hike in Northrup Canyon, near Steamboat.

By the way my wife's brother and his wife live in Cannapolis, NC near Charlotte.  Sometime we want to fly down and visit.

Nice to hear from you.
