Hi there! My husband and I just bought a 2013 r-pod 177 this afternoon, an upgrade from our 1998 Coleman Santa Fe pop-up. We're very excited about the newest addition to our family, "Lily Pod".
We've got a lot of learning to do, so I'm looking forward to doing some reading on this site.

Welcome. We did the same, upgrading from a Coleman Grandview SP. It was in the same "series" as the Santa Fe (and Niagra, Bayside, etc). Loved it in many ways and probably would still have it, but setting it up was starting to hurt my lower back too much. :-) ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

New 177 owners ourselves. Off for a "shakedown cruise" in a few days. Our selling dealer had a wonderful delivery program that included a campsite sleepover after a day of full instruction, so this will be our second night, but on our own. Big item! Construction of the R-Dome for the first time!

Thanks for all the welcomes! We take delivery of Lily Pod on Monday afternoon and we're very excited. Is it bad that I named her before we even got to bring her home?? <grin> ------------- Amanda and Steve Trouble (our non-camping kitty) Lily Pod (2013 R-Pod 177) |

Hi there! We're hoping to become plodders in the not too distant future, but have yet to see one "in the flesh". I see that you just picked yours up and you live in Cedar Key....we live in Crystal River and I wondered if I could be very forward and ask if you'd consider letting us have a peek one of these days? Probably on a weekend, although we'd do whatever works best for you. My home email is dkurtzych@aol.com. It's probably in the rpod site somewhere, but I'm new to that, too. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Deb Kurtz

Welcome. You may want to email them, this is the beginning of the slow season and people don't check in every day. Click on their user name on the left, go to their user's profile, and you'll see the option on the right.

No credit due to me, I just help the other mods keep out the spammers. When one shows up we take them into a back room... can't discuss details of what happens then.  ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

We picked up our 2013 R-Pod 177 yesterday! This site has been WONDERFUL! Saved me so much time in NOT having to reinvent the wheel with set up and take down checklists - taking off on our maiden voyage to Malibu on Saturday (about 1.5 hour drive). ------------- CatnTim |
