I have an interesting story (maybe a bit long) that I wantto share and thought I’d start this discussion topic for others to join in ifthey want to.  With all of the registeredusers on this forum there has to be a lot of interesting or funny stories we’dall enjoy reading.

Last weekend was our final trip for the season and we camped in northernMichigan along the Lake Huron shoreline. Sunday was an absolutely gorgeous day. Sunny, temps in the 70’s with leaves softly falling from the trees.  Monday, our day to head back home, was justthe opposite.  Woke up to rain and itrained all day long.  So we packedeverything up, wet, and headed home.

So, 25 or 30 miles down the road along Lake Huron I’mfinally in the driving groove.  Have thecar on cruise control, listening to some tunes and the pod is tracking greatwhen this car starts to pass me in the passing lane.  Kinda strange in that it went by us veryslowly but finally pulled out in front and moved along.  Though the driver of the car would speed upthen slow down and speed up again. Pretty annoying driving for the next few miles.

All of a sudden the car that passed us turned on the emergencyflashers.  I shut off the cruise controland slowed down looking for any problems up ahead and saw absolutely nothing.  Then the emergency flashers went off, then onagain and off once more.  What the heckis going on up there?

Once again the emergency flashers went on and a hand cameout of the drivers side window pointing to the side of the road.  Crap!  OK, now you have my attention.  Is a tire flat?  Did we leave the door open? What the hecks wrong?

I followed the car into a gas station and stopped besidehim.  Jumped out and immediately startedinspecting the pod for trouble when the driver came over and apologized forflagging us off of the road.  He saidthat no, there was nothing wrong with the trailer that he could see but hesimply loves it and knew that he’d regret it if he didn’t stop me and ask somequestions about it.  Is that trailercalled an rpad?  Thanks again forstopping.  Hope you’re not mad.

I thought, you flagged me off of the road in this rain justto get a tour of the trailer?  Are youcrazy?  Though the whole thing was prettyannoying I was just so relieved that I didn’t have a flat tire or was draggingsomething that I told him, no, it’s called an r-pod.  Figured since I’m already stopped I’d go aheadand give him r-pod pitch.

Told him about the different models.  Suggested that he go to the Forest River siteto see the various floor plans.  Gave himthe web address for this forum to read up on what folks think about ther-pod.  Mentioned about the other clones.  Pretty much gave him a verbal versus walking tour and off hewent down the road.

So to Jim near Tawas City, if in fact you are lurking hereon this forum, no I’m not mad.  I thoughtit was a bit humorous actually.  Though Ido have to tell you that my wife was a bit put out over the whole thing.  When she went into the station looking like she was going to use therestroom what she actually did was make sure the attendant there saw you andwas ready to call the police just in case you turned out to be some sort ofcrazed killer.
