Come what may, I am dewinterizing in two weeks. Weather here in Portland, has become decidedly more spring like. Our Pod is parked in the side yard and has been valiantly wearing its cover all winter. The snows have long gone and the temps are heading up. Our first trip of the year is on May 1 and I've been itching to get into the trailer and start her up for another season. Hope all of you are in the same mode. Have a great camping season. Safe Travels.

I have a few things I want to do to the pod before the season, so I've been considering pulling it out of storage. Problem is to do that I need to tow it a short distance through the front yard. This year we experienced more snow and rain than usual and the front yard is still very soft. The skinny original tires don't provide much flotation, so when they are replaced, it will be with something much wider. I'm not much worried about hydroplaning, I try not to tow in the rain, it's too hard to see in the mirrors. But when I do, I drive much slower.
