I just traded my 27' Laredo. My 27' was on a lot in an RV park in Townsend Tn. My choice was between a $45,000 truck to pull the 5th wheel or trade for something my car could pull. I traded for a '16 179 R Pod. Although it was used I could not find any signs of wear. I have had trailers on my condo lot since 93 but I have not pulled one. It is my intention to begin traveling. As a way of introduction I am a 73 y/0 semi retired neuro-psychologist. I am located in the southeastern corner of Tennessee near Chattanooga. My interest is in visiting the National parks. I lost my wife of 48 years to cancer two years ago. Now I am starting on the plan we had for retirement.
I would love to connect with podders in my area. I have thought of pulling the pod with my Miata. Decided my Charger with the 5.7 hemi was a better choice. |

Dr LIN, There is an RPod Owners map on the forum, I believe it is managed by Kymooses. If you search for RPod Owners Map you will find the post, will give you location of near fellow Podders.

Welcome! I think you made the right choice in tow vehicles (TVs). Also it sounds like nice tribute to your wife to see the things you had planned on seeing before. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Dr. Lin, Welcome to our little group and you did make the right choice on tow vehicles. The Miata might have been a push.....Literally.  ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |
