Just took home our R Pod 179 from Couch in Ohio, towed it back to Connecticut. Towed super easy behind our 2014 Cherokee. Long ways from our teardrop and our Scotty... Geoff and Melanie ------------- When in doubt, go strong and wrong |

Yep, congrats! And hope the weather was good on the drive home. Now what do you do? Winterize it? Or while you do some winter camping? ------------- John & Teri Tundra 5.7L V8 / RP 180 E2 WDH / Integrated controller (POS) replaced by Tekonsha P3 |

They sure do. There was a guy from Houston picking up a huge 5th wheel when we were there! ------------- When in doubt, go strong and wrong |

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on the same storm system. Some of the models are showing the potential for a significant snowfall Tuesday night in my area. Others are showing just an inch or two of snow. This is an oddball storm the way it is wrapping back around for a 2nd hit (this is the same storm that rolled through the last few days with rain), and will then hang around for a day before it changes to snow. So the models are having a hard time with it. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

I also travelled from MD to Ohio. Could not get any good (or even fair) deals nearby.
Yeah, I realize that there are issues inherent to buying from a wholesaler, but I can remove/replace pretty much anything. JD |

I'll take rain any day. Don't have to shovel it! Hey, did anyone here get one of those covers off eBay? ------------- When in doubt, go strong and wrong |

Not ebay, Amazon Classic Accessories 80-200-161001-00 Overdrive PolyPro III Deluxe Teardrop R-Pod Travel Trailer Cover, Fits Up To 20' TrailersIt fit my 2015 178 perfectly, but if you have a 179 the zippered door is in the wrong place. ------------- 2015 178 Rpod 2003 Chevy Trailblazer |
