Howdy Podders - thought I would introduce ourselves as we just made our first Trailer/Camper purchase this last weekend. My wife and I (Sara) have two beautiful young boys (Zane and Chase ...5 and 3) so that is the roster for what we are dubbing the GarrPod Chronicles. We were in the market for a tent trailer and after perusing Craigslist and local RV dealers I kept seeing that for what we wanted in a tent trailer the price was going up ...I had also seen the R-Pods out and about and thought they were the bees knees and if I was to ever "buy a camper/trailer" it would be the low-profile, niche style that I sat in those retort-cool/functional R-Pods. Long story short I came downstairs this Saturday and told my wife to pack up the kids ...we are going back to the RV dealer to look at R-Pods. She saw it, stepped in it and an hour later the paperwork was finished ...we take possession of our 2015 182g tomorrow and I have to say ...outside of our home this is the most exciting purchase we have ever made. We simply cannot wait to get out and camp with our Pod! I spent yesterday pausing this forum and I absolutely love the information and community you have all built here. It is fascinating the sense of family and information sharing that goes on in this forum - we truly cannot wait to get after the camping and experience our Pod but also to learn and adjust/modify/customize the GarrPod as we go along. Here's to making memories and thanks for having us here in the Forum. Cheers, -Nate ------------- 2007 FJ Cruiser 2009 GMC Yukon 1965 GTO Zane, Chase, Sara and Nate |

 Welcome, its nice to have another r-pod owner here in Idaho. We have a 179, and so far just love it. Only made the 80 mile trip home from Nelson's, then the next day towed it up to Riggins for the test campout. ------------- John & Reina 2015 r-179, 2006 Jeep Liberty Retired Sub sailor West central ID |

Welcome. Like you, we felt like it was Christmas morning from the time we signed the paperwork until 2 weeks later when we picked ours up. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

We recently brought home the 176T so we have those two smaller bunks similar to yours ;0) My eight year old loves her new bunk beds. Our also has that slide out kitchen. I have been playing with my new toy and we camped at home in it the first weekend ;0) You are going to love it! Enjoy your new trailer! Welcome to the group ;0)
