Welcome and congrats. Besides the usual make sure your T.V. is capable, and keep the tires properly inflated suggestions.  The only thing i think you really need to know right away is, Theres a thing called E.M.S. that is kind of important to protect your electronics in your pod. I recommend getting that taken care of sooner rather than later. Progressive industries sells a good unit (I think the hard wired unit is best). It's really important to protect everything in your camper, including you. If you want more info, just ask.]]> Tue, 13 Mar 2018 11:30:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11233&PID=105512#105512 New RVers in IL : Congratulations HeyJohn56.

Congratulations HeyJohn56.  Going on year 8 with our 177.  We knew nothing about travel trailers, had either tents or pop ups until this.  We were green, but this site is been phenomenal.  You have questions? There are many who have gone before us who have the answers.  A wealth of information can be had.  Enjoy your 178 as you make a lot of great memories with your family and friends.

Just go with the flow and look at it as an exciting learning experience. Make a few short trips your first couple outings to help reduce stress and learn the in's and out's and I promise you soon you will be a pro!]]> Mon, 12 Mar 2018 17:51:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11233&PID=105467#105467 New RVers in IL : Welcome from Chicago.

Welcome from Chicago. Got our 171 a year ago (next week). Read everything here many times. Put almost 15,000 miles on it since then. Great info here. Still made mistakes -- no big deals. ]]> Mon, 12 Mar 2018 14:32:16 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11233&PID=105447#105447 New RVers in IL : Welcome and Congratulations!It... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11233&PID=105444#105444 Author: StephenH

Welcome and Congratulations!
It may seem overwhelming, but relax and enjoy your R-Pod. We bought ours in December, 2015. A week later, we took off across country to visit our daughters and grandchildren. There was a lot we did not know, but somehow, we made it. I hope you have many fine adventures and make many great memories in the process.

Welcome Heyjohn56.  Congratulations on the RP178.  I'm sure you'll enjoy that.  This is a great site, lots of details on modifications and very informative.  If you find yourself getting overwhelmed, go pop open your favorite brew and relax.  The information will still be there tomorrow.]]> Mon, 12 Mar 2018 13:16:48 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11233&PID=105439#105439 New RVers in IL : Welcome:We have a 178 and I was... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11233&PID=105438#105438 Author: rda54

Welcome: 
 We have a 178 and I was as nervous as you are. We have one year in and it is a lot of fun and if you need anything this is the place to get it.
Relax and have fun.

Hello all. Glad to join what seems to be a nice bunch of folks. Got our new 2017 R-Pod 178 a couple weeks ago. Been reading lots and find it a bit overwhelming. This is supposed to be relaxing, isn't it? Hope to learn as we go and enjoy lots of fun times in our new Pod.]]> Mon, 12 Mar 2018 12:00:35 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11233&PID=105421#105421
