Joining the 'Pod family!

Congratulations and welcome.....clearly you were meant to have a POD!  Nice to have one just pop up like that.  You'll enjoy the 179 I'm sure....it's a great plan!

Originally posted by backin15 Wow - a lot has happened in the past month and a half! We were hit with some unexpected expenses, including a big bill from when our son decided to try to drive his car through our garage door. We decided it would be best to put off our purchase for a year or so. I was poking around on Craigslist a couple weeks ago, and discovered a 2 year old 179 that looked nice at a small dealer, so I went to have a look at it. The condition was amazing, it looked like someone had bought it and drove it to indoor storage and parked it. The decals are bright and unfaded, and there are no rock chips on the front or on the axle. I looked inside the coupling, and the paint was hardly scuffed. The "removable freezer" sticker is still inside the refrigerator! It also has the riser kit, a battery disconnect and the cover for the bath fan. All for $5,500 less than the new one we were looking at. Plus it comes with a 45 day warranty - sold! We will be picking it up in a couple weeks. We are looking forward to becoming podders!

Congratulations on your find and welcome! I'm glad your Craigslist experience worked out better than ours (got scammed for $2000). That is how we ended up with our RP-179. In the end, we are much happier with the R-Pod than we would have been with the Casita we thought we were going to be purchasing. It was an expensive lesson though. I hope the replacement of the garage door will not be too expensive. I guess your son will have a reminder on his car to not do things like that.

Tell him this PA Dutch proverb: The hurrier I go the behinder I get. 

I have a tree stump in the back yard that needs to be dug out - seems like a good project for him! I am also thinking the pod will need a good coat of wax when we bring it home.

Welcome, and enjoy!
