Good idea to record the demo
We will use our iPhone video
No name for the moment ..

I'm a siamese lover (cats in general) .. some ideas for me .. ?

Purr Pod? :) Enjoy your new purchase. Are you going to camp in the driveway? (we did)

I love Purr Pod (with paws stickers maybe ?) 
Yes of course we are going to camp in our drive way
 But we have reserved for 1 night on a campground ..
Out of the dealer .. directly to the campground !!
And 'til the other time we can go camping, we will use it in our driveway
and place our stuff in it.

Yes, when and where is the FIRST camping trip?
And no, of course, you don't have to name your Pod, but it makes it more playful and fun if you want to. Hmmmm, there is just SOMETHING about this forum that makes you WANT to name you Pod! If I only could think of something clever in French!
EDIT: Damour, we must have been posting at the SAME time. Yes, Purr Pod with paw prints - what a CUTE idea! I like it.

I camped in my driveway a lot! I had my RPod 177 for 2 months before I could go anywhere. But when I did I was very familiar with how EVERYTHING worked, and I was packed up and ready to go. ------------- 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." |

Hi Damour,
We did that too. Straight from the dealer to the campground. It was fun. Of course you probably won't have snow.. Will you have electric or water?------------- Tom and Bette in our 177 "The Gastropod" |

| Yes electric and water . It'll be like that most of the time. |

I am sure you can find paw stickers on ebay. I like the name too! When we get spring fever we camp in the driveway alot. It seems silly but it is fun. We take a movie to watch, popcorn.

Podsible -- I think Damour is camping. They were going straight from the dealer to a campsite if I remember correctly. I know -- I'm anxious to hear from her, too. It makes us all remember how excited we were to FINALLY bring the Pod home. ------------- 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." |

I remember how excited I was during the few weeks between when we bought ours and when we picked it up. Like Christmas as a kid, but in August. And welcome, Elidh. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Stopping water from filling by the bottom of the shower to exterior .. is a not a mod.. but an obligation.
Maybe a lack of silicone somewhere. we'll check that.

This is a good time of year to look for storage solutions. It's back to school time so the stores have items for college kids everywhere.
