Hello everyone!

My wife and I just purchased a new 2016 model 179 yesterday. It's our first camper, so we are the greenest of rookies.

We live just a few miles outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We're looking forward to starting by exploring the great state parks here in Tennessee.

We are super excited to get our RPod, and we can't wait to get started.

Great to be here!

Cliff & Carla McCartney

Walland, Tennessee

Welcome from Middle Tennessee. We pass right by you several times a year, usually on the way to Elkmont or Smokemont.

Thanks!

Have you been to many of the TN state parks? If so, any opinions?

We're planning our first trip on the weekend of July 8 to Harrison Bay on Chickamauga Reservoir.

We were green when we purchased ours in December. I made our first mod, a shelf, before we took off on a cross-country trip. Since returning, I've made a number of others which are listed in my mods. You will find what works for you as you use your R-Pod. I hope you enjoy yours as much as we are enjoying ours.
