We ordered a bunch of the medium baskets online and now have that mounting plate filled side-to-side and top-to-bottom with storage baskets. It's great to have all that storage now!

We also have a 182G and love it. I know you will find it just as fun as we have!
On the issue of the speaker not working, you might have to pull out the Jensen CD/DVD player and check the connections. Ours had the video out connected to the video in, so we had no picture when using the DVD player. There is a good chance they hooked it up wrong at the factory, or one of the wires is not connected at all. Easy fix if that's the case.
Enjoy the Pod!

Finally picked the unit up yesterday and brought it home. Pulled easier than I thought in these CA hills; even with the water tank filled to 3/4. Son was so excited that he slept in the pod overnight :) Only three issues so far that I've noticed -which is most likely user error.-

1. Dinette doesn't seem to set right when converting to queen bed. Tabs do not line up properly and the table top seems too long but again probably my error in using it.

2. Rear garage left speaker does not work. Most likely a bad connection somewhere.

3. The garage basket holder plate was put upside down. No big though, I'll just flip it right side up when I have the time and the Dewalt is fully charged.

Everything else seems to be working just fine :) Here's a picture of our 182g HR!

I've had plenty of experience with camping and pulling jet skis or just driving an RV but this will be the first travel trailer I will be towing. We are very excited!

We are trying to set up a few short weekend beach over nighter's to feel out the trailer but our first big trip will be to Ouray Colorado in July for an off roading event.

That's fantastic to hear! There are a few hills/mountains here in California but that's what leaving it in 4th and listening to the toons is for right? My FJ is modded some and I do have abit of weight added to it, which was a big factor in choosing the R-Pod in the first place. Let's just say the FJ is not stock :)



Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Welcome SoCalPod!
We were at the local R-POD dealer this past weekend and checked out a 181 (I think). Looks like they increased the size of the stablizers and placed them at a 45 deg. angle. Also noticed that the dome channels were of a larger cross section, that should aid in putting up the dome.
It will drive you crazey waiting for deliverySmile!
