Just an introduction as we found ourselves randomly tossed into the R-Pod owners community.

I was casually looking for small/teardrop trailers (various models) when late last fall I saw an R-Pod at a repossession auction.  I ended up winning it.  I knew it was in pretty good shape for a 2011, but it was not until we finally got it picked up that we realized that even though it was a 2011, it was virtually brand new.  There was not a single sign of use anywhere...not a single scratch, scuff mark etc.  Even the tires looked brand new (and they have a 2010 date code on them).  Weird.

Anyways, I did have to repair a couple external damaged items...the vent cover was cracked and the waste take vent was smashed...(not sure how that happened).  Anyways....we have not even had a chance to use it yet.

I still have to give it a complete "un-winterizing" and test everything....there may be more repairs...but we'll see.  Some new tires coming, a new mattress is already here (the original looked horribly thin and uncomfortable), and we've started stocking up the things we'll need to cook etc.

Found a good deal on a 12V, 105Ah battery, built a 200W solar suitcase setup over the winter, and will see where it all goes.  Will likely do mostly boondocking with campgrounds probably closed and social distancing.
