| Hi folks. Just picked up our first camper, a new 2012 176T. It was 7+ hours away, but it was the closest 176T I could find - and once I set my sights on something, there is no stopping me..... So, the boy (5 years old) and I spent the first night in it at the dealers lot, had a blast checking it all out, and slept like a baby (me too!). Signed the papers in the morning and headed back home. Can't wait for the first camping trip! |

What a neat shakedown experience to sleep there at the dealer lot, sounds like the start of some good memories for you and your family.

Thanx for the welcome messages - starting to feel welcome as a newbie.
Can't wait for the mods! I am definitely into that. Actually, the mattress went flat through the first night in the dealers lot. I left it with them and they are warranty'ing me a new one. I'm thinking about a new one anyway. Maybe a thick foam one that I can fold the end up during the day. I have an idea that I'll post in the mods section for a little pod-back (feedback)... ------------- "What happens in the POD, stays in the POD." 2002 Dakota (pulling a) 2012 R-Pod 176T |

Welcome, that had to be cool to get to try out the POD for a night and then sign for it the next morning. If you did not like it that would be like getting a free night, except for the drive. Goose ------------- Mother Goose's Caboose..2011 RP171..07 Grand Cherokee
