Hi everyone, I picked up my rPod yesterday, everything seems to work fine, except the fan in the shower, but it may just be the fuse. A little history, I bought my first used pop up 2 years ago, 1992 viking for $400, my wife was not happy with it, turns out the canvas pretty much needed to be replaced, did not camp out in it, ended up selling it. But I still wanted to get a pop up. Around Oct. 2018, I found a great deal on FB Marketplace, a 2014 Livin' Lite Quicksilver 8.1.

We took the Quicksilver on our first adventure last weekend to VA, and when we got to the campground around 6pm, it was raining hard, and the weather showed 100% rain all night. It was terrible, new memory foam mattresses got soaked, my wife and 9 year old daughter got drenched as well, it was not a good start, but we rolled with the punches and made it through.

So out of curiosity, I looked on CL this past Monday, and there it was, 2010 rPod 176 only 5 miles away from home, emailed the seller with my phone number, he replied right away and said it had to be sold by Sunday, I went to see it at 3pm on Tuesday, made offer and picked it up yesterday. I have tons of questions, but I'm glad I found this forum and I'm sure by looking around, I'll find the answers.

Welcome! Sounds like you know a lot more than i did when I got my first pod and joined earlier this year. There's a wealth of information here; generously shared.

Congratulations!! Sounds similar to our adventure... two tent trailers, first one a few hundred dollars, then another for a few thousand and finally giving up after having that damp musty feeling every time it rains and the constant struggle to keep everything dry.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your Rpod, we feel like we're living the dream when we take ours out! :-)
