| Happy Thanksgiving to All! We debating taking the pod to the in-laws but we decided not to. We head south on Nov. 30th so it won't be long until we are on the road again. |

Happy Belated Turkey Day to everyone! We did take our Pod out camping for the entire holiday weekend, getting into our campsite early in the afternoon on Thursday and sitting down for dinner about 6 pm after dealing with some convection oven issues. Roasted turkey breast in the oven, stuffing, potato casserole, brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce, gravy and biscuits made for a great evening (along with a libation or two) and we continued to eat the same on Friday & Saturday nights. We were surprised at how much food we could actually pack into the fridge and didn't even need to take a separate cooler along with us except for the adult beverages.
Set up our dome with the flaps down and a small catalytic propane heater and we had a very cozy & toasty extended living room to sit in during the mornings with our coffee and magazines, and then got a fire going for the afternoon & evenings to warm-up with after our daily hikes with Comet. Thermostat set at 60 at night to keep us warm, and left the vent in the bathroom ceiling open to try and minimize the condensation. Worked so-so though as we had quite a bit of moisture on the back window Sunday morning when it got it's coldest over the weekend at 26 degrees.
Lots of visitors from the campground stopping by to check out the "cute" camper, including the Park Ranger who was 6'5" tall and wanted to see if he could fit into the bed. Given he had seen my martini sitting on the table in a non-alcoholic campground who was I to say no to his request, though M made sure he took his boots off first! As this was our first extended trip in our Pod we have a few minor items that we need to address with our dealer but those were minor indeed and will wait until Spring. Got home yesterday afternoon, had it unpacked and winterized in 60 minutes, and then over to the storage lot and tucked into it's cover for a couple of months. Time to start working on the Mod's list we developed! ------------- P & M ... and Comet too! 2012 171 -- The Monkey Pod 2018 Ram 2500 |

I found I need to leave a window cracked open as well as the vent, to keep the condensation down when it is really cold. I've debated adding a small biscuit fan somewhere to force some ventillation so the window doesn't need to be open. Maybe put a hole through the floor under the shower, blowing out so it doesn't freeze up the drain pipe and make the floor even colder. Probably would need to add a dryer vent cap to keep water out while going down the road. I don't want to use the bathroom vent fan because even on low it moves way too much air for winter condensation control. Its great for a good breeze in the summer though!
We've been known to have some "grape juice" and "tomato juice" in the non-alcohol state parks around here. Haven't gotten busted, though.  ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

We did have one of the windows on the bed side cracked slightly the first 2 nights and we didn't seem to have an issue with the condensation, but M was getting cold and with the temp dropping the last night insisted that it be closed. I probably should have cracked one open in the front to compensate for it. ------------- P & M ... and Comet too! 2012 171 -- The Monkey Pod 2018 Ram 2500 |

We spent the entire week in our pod at St. George's island FL. We stayed at the state park and had a great time with our two boys doing everything from salt water fishing, putt-putting, bike riding to eating. The pod was great and we truly enjoyed the week. ------------- 2013 182G 2010 Ford Expedition |
