Ciao! I'm Gigi, owner of an '08 LR2 and looking to this forum for advice on which r pod is best for my rig. Also wondering how to get the electric brakes to work without splicing :) My husband is newly retired Army and we are in the market for a small camper that can take us and our dog on adventures up north and out west. I really love the r pod and think the 171 would be big enough and weigh under (with cargo) the 3500 lbs that our rover can tow. Thanks for the add, and I look forward to meeting you all :) ------------- 2008 Land Rover LR2 HSE 1999 Ford Expedition 4x4 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) 2018 R-Pod 180 |

Howdy neighbor! San Antonio here... electric brakes? ALL rigs must include a brake controller unit...something you will need to add if your rig does not already have one. It's not uncommon for a dealer to install one at the point of sale.

Welcome from out west! Whichever pod you decide to get, I am sure you will love it. As for traveling out west, be prepared to stay a while! There is so much to see and do. Congratulations on the new retirement! I am really looking forward to it myself. All my friends that have retired highly recommend it. ------------- 2016 180 HRE 2014 Tacoma Taylor 210 CSE Bose L1 Model II 2008 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic |

Welcome. Tell us more about your brake situation. Do you mean splicing to install the brake controller? ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
