We just returned from another great trip to the Ochocco Mountains in Central Oregon. 
Got an epic hike of 14 miles in to Twin Pillars on Saturday! 
Then a shorter hike to Steins Pillar on Monday! We did something completely new for us.....dug for Thunder Eggs.... 
GrimPod is such a nice upgrade for us after the teardrop! Weather was excellent 70's, no humidity, 50's at night and bright blue skies which are typical for our summers here! 
General GrimPod/F150 observations.....(5 trips in now) 1. 3.5 Ecoboost tows beautifully with this size trailer. 2. E2/600 sway brackets hang really low when mounted on the trailer tongue. 3. We still have not set up the Rdome, seems as though were always in a spot with trees for shade. 4. Stabilizing jacks on the Pod hang low, I am considering an alternative. 5. I have gotten by so far with the factory 10 ft drain hose as its convenient. |
