My husband and I will be picking up our first camper, a used 2016 180, tomorrow! We are very excited to bring it home and make it our own! Any suggestions for videos for first-timers would be appreciated!

The interweb and You Tube has tremendous resources, use that Google.

Welcome and enjoy your R-pod.

(Hey Newbies, I know it's not required but it's interesting to know a member's location.)

Congratulations ! For the maiden voyage or shakedown trip try your driveway or a campground real close to home. That way you will know what to bring and what to leave home, or at least get a start on it. Enjoy your 180.

Enjoy that beautiful new Rpod. We moved on (not up) from our Rpod many years ago. We went from Rpod to Keystone Premier to our present motorhome. Our two sons are the proud owners of our Pod and Premier, and they're both still going strong! We are in awe at how Rpod, above all other trailers, has exploded in the market over the past 7 or 8 years. It's a true testimony to their greatness. We still get a twinge when we see them rolling down the road or sitting in a campground. In our opinion, they're the most functional and fun trailer around.
