We found a cheap place to store the RPOD for the winter (about an hour away) and have gone into a real funk. No more trips for a while. Cannot even go out to the RPOD to work on it. I think I am suffering from RPOD WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME! Help. Does anyone else have this? What do I do? I tried watching football Sat, Sun, Mon and Thurs but thats not enough. My neighbor said go on vacation, but how can I go back to flying in airplanes, packing half the clothes I need and sleeping in strange beds! I need my RPOD. I have had some relief planning future trips as they take significant time to plan. Hope to do Canada and Newfoundland as well as Michigan. As well as hitting many baseball parks (Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati). April cannot come fast enough. Whats an RVer to do? I guess I can wait until the winter RV shows and walk around in a dream state. An RPOD withdrawal syndrome, also called an RPOD discontinuation syndrome
is a set of symptoms occurring in discontinuation of trips taken with all models of RPOD travel trailers. The risk of a discontinuation syndrome occurring increases with time away and length of use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal_syndrome - RPOD Withdrawal syndrome - Wikipedia------------- OLD 2017.5 RPOD 180 + 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk NEW: 2018 Passport Elite 23RB + 2017 Ram 1500 Diesel |

Richard Cindy,
I'm with you, my Pod is at house and I piddle with it. Spouse deployed to Kuwait in JUL so my last trip this year was the KHP Round Up in JUN. Been in a funk. LEO - to top that off I haven't been fishing this year. Double negatives. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

I am not quite that bad yet. The trips are done for this year, but, I am taking the pod to the casino next weekend and spend a day camping in the R.V. area. Then I will be putting it into storage, and i can begin to experience the full blown effect of the disease. I used to hate April, due to tax payments must be paid, but I think regaining use of the pod might make even that, a welcome event. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

This is a great place to avoid withdrawal symptoms. A little virtual podding. Also, what helps me is getting ready for Murrells Inlet trip in February. That means: Tear down and clean/lubricate all reals Check all rod guides and repair as necessary Spend hours watching YouTube videos about catching speckled trout and redfish in Murrells Inlet Buy new tackle, a couple of Cajun Thunder Poppers and D.O.A. shrimps Watch more fishing videos Buy a couple more rods and reels even though I really don't need them Buy more tackle for new rods and another landing net Keep eye out for delivery truck and intercept before wife sees it February won't get here fast enough! fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

It might not make any of you feel any better, but the low temp here this morning was 53°. Seeing Leo with that fish, my mind went immediately to The Shining, and the implications thereof. Too many "d"s of course, but I'd never heard of that kind of fish before. Looks a bit like a Carp to me (at least in that picture).

Ga lee! That ain't no carp! Give me that red, a big 'ole iron skillet, a pound of butter and Chef Paul Prudhomme's world-famous Blackened Redfish Magic and we'd be eating real good! Oh, and some dirty rice on the side. Now, those geoduck things you all got out west are strange critters!  fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

The red drum is also called a channel bass, they are related to the striped bass, they are the North Carolina state game fish..........really a blast to catch!!! They catch a smaller version off san padre island.............going to try down there one of these years!! ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Fred, where are you planing on camping at Murrells Inlet? The thought of winterizing my Pod after Thanksgiving is making me blue. Sooo....maybe I can just blow out the water lines and then head down to Edisto Island around the same time for a little fishing. Hmmm .... nice dream, maybe! ------------- Dave & Marlene J with Zoey the wonder dog. 2017 Rpod 180 2016 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4 Lexington, NC |

Like furpod said...HBSP...Huntington Beach State Park. Great park and beautiful area. We stayed for a few nights last Feb. while doing our annual Florida trip. This year, we decided to skip Florida and spend all our time @ HBSP.

I thought I was the only one to get RWS just didn't have a name for it. Bought mine a little over a month ago a couple states away. Camped two nights before coming home and used it for a weekend a couple weeks later. It got cold here in SE PA so I winterized and washed and covered it and all I can think about is using it this spring. I am looking forward to my nephew's wedding in April at Myrtle Beach so I will be taking the Pod instead of using a hotel. Can anyone recommend a campground? It appears there are several nice ones. I am looking for a full hookup with nice bathrooms as my wife has not gotten used to the wet bath yet. ------------- 2022 RP-202 2016 RP-179 (Sold 9/2020) 2014 Silverado Crew Cab. 6-1/2' Bed Golden Retriever (DOB 6/16/2020) English Bulldog (RIP 6/15/2020) |
