We are picking up our RPOD 171 on Friday. Very excited - have been looking at these for a few years. Time is right. Husband wanted model with a slide, I didn't. I won 
I travel to events by myself so I wanted small and easy to pull. Plus enough room when my husband is with me. Are there any other RPod users in Virginia? |

Enjoy your 171 and prepared to give tours at the locations you camp. We have gotten pretty good at it after 5 years. Welcome to the group.

On the R-Pod Owners Forum Facebook site, Travis maintains a file named "R-Pods by Location". There are at least 21 Virginia podders listed there. A lot of the same people that hang out on this forum are on the Facebook site as well. Not long ago someone posted about possibly hosting a Virginia Pod Rally. I really hope that happens. In my pop-up days we attended pop-up rallies & had a great time. In fact we still attend some even though we have "gone over to the dark side"!! ------------- Rob & Becky 2014 Ford Explorer 3.5 SOHC V6 2015 R-179 Pod aka Piddle Pod "Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain!!" |

We'd love to attend a local rally. I sent a request to join the facebook site but didn't get a response back. I just sent another request. ------------- Deb and Andre 2016 RPod 171 2016 F150 |

Be patient, we waited 2 days before we received a response. Hats off to all those on this forum and facebook that do all the hard work of communication, keeping the riff/raff to a minimum and responding to our requests.

I just checked again on FB and I had to send another request to join the closed group. I must be doing something wrong. It's R-Pod Owners, correct?
I am having such a fun time getting things for the trailer - bought a 2" gel topper for the mattress. Going on our first little trip in April with 2 dogs. ------------- Deb and Andre 2016 RPod 171 2016 F150 |
