Well we pick up our new 176 today. He haven't trailer camped in 20 years, back when we had a Coleman Popup. Now its just the two of us and the dog. Looking forward to lots of evenings around the camp fire and making clever modifications like so many listed here.

Welcome! We moved from a Coleman popup to the 'pod, too. I wanted to keep about the same towing length and didn't mind getting a little less space inside - we don't stay inside much. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Welcome and enjoy! We're moving up from the ground to our 171. Our intermediate was a 5x8 utility trailer always packed and ready to go camping in the barn we have for a garage. Never used it to sleep in though... ------------- Chris and Walt '10 RP-171 'Free Spirit' '13 Dodge Durango Crew 5.7 L Hemi V8 |

Hi Tri-pod,
Love your name!
We went from a tent into the Gastropod with our dog, Sally. It seems very luxurious to us.
Wishing you many years of enjoyment and happy travels.

Welcome Tri-Pod! Similar to TerryM, I went from a tent (many years) to a small pop-up, to a larger pop-up (a Rockwood by Forest River), to a 28 ft. fifth wheel, to the R-Pod. Finally. . . . .I think the Pod is "just right." ------------- 2011 RP 177, the Hodge-PODge 2011 Mercedes ML350 "A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it." |

Congats and Welcome. It's always nice to have another 176 join the group. Being there are just 2 of us, we bought ours for the storage. Happy Podding ------------- 2011 R-176 Nuestro Pod 2014 Silverado |
