Hello from Texas

We're in the DFW area... Wow, full timing in a Rpod? If all else fails, the Rpod is our backup plan (LOL). Maybe one day, we'll full time in a 5ver. Retirement is about 10 years off yet. This area is growing so fast and property taxes are through the roof. I imagine they'll run me off. Part of the plan is to pay for the Rpod by downsizing.

We we're at Lake Murray Oklahoma this weekend. Very hot late afternoons each day. AC was cranking and we stayed comfortable. Since this was the shake out cruise, we expected some problems, but all went well. We're very pleased!

Aerodynamics. As mentioned earlier. We previously had a trailer of about the same weight but with a square front end. The 1994 Chevy K1500 5.7 got about 6 mpg with that. The Rpod is a relaxed pull at highway speeds. We averaged 9 mpg on 2 lane country roads. Rolling hills, meandering road, AC blasting, and stop signs. We we going between 55-65 mph. The Rpod is a great design. I think the Chevy would get about 15 mpg by itself on that route.
