Good Evening All, I am a long-time backpacker (hike, bike, xc-ski, canoe, kayak ... all w/ camping gear) and was an Explorer Post leader for many years. I have sadly succumbed to some of the ravages of age. I don’t admit such things easily, and I don’t intend to stop playing and having adventures. So I analyzed my situation logically, did my homework, and bought a used 2014 R-Pod 171! The test run in March (On a 1 month appliance warranty) took me from central NY to North Landing RV Park in VA Beach. Very nice facility on the water, great people, delicious BBQ, excellent live blues band … great time! R-Escape-Pod is wonderful! Setting it up is like setting up a new house … kinda fun! So far, I’ve installed a Progressive Industries Electrical Management System. My next step is to start wading through all the upgrade notes here in the forum to make the best use of my small space possible. Thank you to all who have contributed. It looks like a wealth of knowledge! Best Regards, Marty
