Our First Trailer - Our First Outing - Event Date: 06 Oct 2016

We had been discussing purchasing a travel trailer for the last year and that tripped tent camping sealed it for me.  On our way home we stopped by a number of dealers looking for a trailer, each time finding nothing.  Lucky for us the last dealer we stopped at had a number of trailers and since it was the last day of the month and after their Memorial Day sale they were in a good negotiating mood.  We were able to purchase our 2010 R-Pod 151 for a really good cash price along with some ad in's from the dealer.

We picked it up this Wednesday and filled it with all of the usual items we had for tent camping as well as a few new purchases such as an Aroma (Rice Cooker/Pressure Cooker/Slow Cooker) Combo.   Initially I thought it may be too small for all of our gear but amazingly we still have a lot of room left.   I'm sure after a few trips we'll find more to fill it up.

We are heading out in just a few hours for our first camping trip in "OURRPOD"  for the weekend.  Even though the forecast this weekend is the same as it was for Memorial Day (RAIN) instead of dreading the rain I don't even care about the forecast.    With combination Microwave/Convection oven this baker is looking forward to baking Hot apple pie to go with the chicken and dumplings this evening.

Thank you to everyone for posting your information and MOD's.  I was able to review a number of them and in the two short days we've actually had her we've been able to get a few small things accomplished. As we camp more I'm sure there will be a lot more to come.

We are happy to join the great number of R-Pod owners.

Our new Aroma Turbo (Pressure Cooker/Rice Cooker/Crockpot) cooked a number of meals each in just a few just minutes.  I have a feeling I'm going to love learning to cook in this thing this summer.   This time we were in a site with full hook-ups so we had power to use this.  While we have two deep batteries that my fiance says they would run the cooker for a short period if we had an inverter.  Time for some research on that one.   So for now we've selected and ordered a 2000W Portable Inverter Generator so we can use when dry camping.   

Also new to me is the dual purpose Microwave/Convection oven.    This worked like a charm too.  My Fiance believes that we'll be able to use with the generator we've selected as well.  He should know - he's the one with the electrical license 

Our best score so far was our $4.00 seasoned grill.  It fit perfectly over the two burners and cooked our steaks to perfection.  The bacon and eggs the next morning were really easy whip up too.
