Welcome Fellow Newbie! We are waiting delivery of our 176T. We looked at the 182 models featured at a local RV show. They are really great too. We love tent camping and liked the option of having a "tent"..so ended up going with the 176T. Sounds like we both found just what we wanted. Hope you enjoy the forum and your Pod. ]]> Mon, 14 Feb 2011 14:58:32 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1590&PID=13611#13611 About to become a new owner 182G : I will post a lot of pictures.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1590&PID=13585#13585 Author: tdrace

Today is the day! We drive down to Jaxonville to pick up the new trailer. Going to spend the night at the dealers campground just to ensure all systems are go. We haven't been this excited for something like this in a long time.
 
I wired in the 7 way connector harness on Tuesday night. Then the brake controller on Wed. night. Both really straightforward jobs. Mopar made a really nice harness and I'm glad I went that way. Fit perfect.
 
Should be a fun day. Will post pics tomorrow if we have time.

You may have been the person that turned us on to rpods. My wife and I were at Hunting Island last year and were riding our bikes around looking at campers when we ran across an rpod. Do you have a dog you camp with? We may have already met.

We tried to get something at Hanna over Presidents without luck but found a place at Fort Clinch. So we will be just a bit north of you. Look forward to running into you out there!

Welcome!  We signed the papers on our 182G last weekend as it's now sitting in storage as we wait for the 20" of snow to melt and the temperatures to resemble something less arctic like.  

The people here are a friendly bunch, and it's a great place to learn.

you really bought it for the comfort of the K-9!  LOL

The kids want ours, so I will go through it after we get the rpod and make sure it is all in working order. Nothing wrong with them, ours has done the job for us, but storage and set up and take down gets to a hassle sometimes.Time to move up. Before the pop-up I had a slide in pickup truck camper and it was nice to just pull in and you were there.

We like to run around the southeast and hit up the music festivals, go to the beach, kayak, ride bikes and see the country. This setup should be great for us.

Yes, Bostons are great pets, smart, faithful and a great companion.  Know what you mean about the pop up, they are alot of fun and do a great job. But they can be a hassle to put up and take down, especially in the rain.  Then when U get home U have to put them up to dry when the rain quits!

This is our first Boston. We've had a boxer mix and a boxer too. Jake thinks he is a much bigger dog, but is just great with people and our grandkids. He has been camping in our pop-up and we couldn't ask for a better companion.

This forum has been a great help. We have done significant amount of research on here to determine what we should do. I think we are going to love this little trailer. I know I won't miss setting up the pop-up in the dark any more!

This is our first post on this board. My wife and I have closed our deal on a new 182G. We are thrilled to be moving up out of our pop-up. When we first started looking we were thinking about one of the T models, and thought that the garage was not something we would be interested in. But we love the floorplan on the 182G and it fits our needs the best.

It will be mostly my wife and I and our trusty Boston Terrier Jake sharing time in the rpod. We love the frog graphic, and we have decided to call it "El coqui" for the chirping frogs in Puerto Rico.

We will probably have numerous questions down the road I'm sure. We will be pulling El coqui with a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with 6 speed manual transmission. We are getting a Blue Ox weight distributing hitch, and I still have to install a Tekonsha Primus IQ brake controller. I have to first get the 7 way wiring harness from Jeep and get them installed before we go down next Saturday. Looks like I have my work cut out. Don't know if anyone has a similar setup, but I'd love to hear what other Wrangler Unlimited owners experiences have been.

Bob, Carol and Jake
