Former backpackers so we are accustomed to the minimalist lifestyle, but totally new to TT. Just retired and picked up our new 171 at the end of Dec. It's winterized and parked now but planning maiden voyage of a couple weeks next month (western NC to Florida). I'm on pins and needles and hoping everything works. But we can roll with whatever. Your Forum is great, lots of good tips. ------------- Royce/Janet 2016 R-pod 171 2005 Merc Mountaineer |

Came from tenting to a tt (rpod) with nothing in between. This group was/is great and since then the face book group has been added. Together the two forums are fantastic ... just like the fan... Welcome to the group from Ontario. ------------- Ron & Shirley 2020 Tacoma 2012 177 rpod |

Seems like we're the opposite... I live in FL and vacation in western NC, bought some property up near Franklin a few years ago and want to put a cabin up there. People at the beach want to see the mountains, people in the mountains want to see the beach. ------------- 2010 R-Pod RP-171 2010 Honda Ridgeline TV |

Thanks all, for your warm welcome. I did not know there was a Facebook group, so I am learning things already. One thing I am surprised to find is that many RV campgrounds in what I consider to be the south (as in south of the Mason/Dixon) are closed in the winter. Oh well I am more than happy to dry camp.

While you are on the road, Flying J, Pilot, and Truckstops of America will let you park overnight. The only place I was turned down on our recent trip was at a Petro station. Petro lost a customer. I don't know if it was corporate policy or if it was just that particular manager though. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |
