I noticed the "For Sale" is no longer on your signature photo. Did you sell your R-Pod, or decide to hold onto it? (None of my business, I know. Just nosey......)  ------------- Bob and Joyce Jennifer and Baxter, the Campin' Cocker Spaniels RP 177 "Key Pod" Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT / Z71 |

Good eye. We decided to put a good chunk of money into remodelling 3 rooms in our house. Including moving our kitchen where our dining room now is, making the current kitchen a new informal eating area, and taking out two walls in the process. That will join up our current living room with the eating area to make a "great room", and mostly open up the kitchen to the eating area with a counter between.
Plus we are going on our first leg of a tour of the US this summer.
So in the end I didn't want to commit the $ I would need to make up the cost difference between a new camper and what I would get for the pod, on top of everything else.
 I can fix one of the major problems - my daughters need more room at night - by adding a temporary bunk above the dining table/bed. I'll design it so it can be removed. My other issues will just have to wait. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Do you do your own remodeling, or contract it out? I loved getting into a cool remodel. We bought a home built in 1877. Lord knows how many other hands had been involved since then, but I will hazard a guess that there is not one aspect of the house that has not been re-done over the 20 years we have owned it. The only thing I hired out was the new steel roof. I used to kid about the "old time Cedar Key carpenters." I claimed that they had the motto: "Plumb- Level- Square- Pick one!" Happy remodeling and safe travels. ------------- Bob and Joyce Jennifer and Baxter, the Campin' Cocker Spaniels RP 177 "Key Pod" Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT / Z71 |

We've had a lot of exterior work done for us in the last few years. We've decided to tackle this remodel ourselves for the most part - a learning experience and something we can do together (and spend a few less hours a week in front of the TV). I'm sure there will be some things we need to contract out, but at least one of the specialty jobs (electrical) I have a lot of experience with. We can take our time which is another benefit. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
