Even the rain and cold was fun since we are from Az and only see rain rarely and cold only for a couple of weeks.
 
Agreed!!! A bad day camping is better than a good day at work.  Thanks for the pictures!

It was brief but caught me by surprise coming downhill around a turn, the rain every day in the afternoon was more of a inconvience.]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2011 12:54:21 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2113&PID=19722#19722 North Rim Grand Canyon : Snow! https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2113&PID=19692#19692 Author: techntrek

Stayed at the north rim campground, dry camping for 3 days and had no pod issues. Our water pump,furnace,refrigerator and water heater all lasted 3 days on our dual battery set-up. The only problem was rain and cold every day. We moved onto Zion National Park and spent 2 days with more rain and ice but had hook-ups outside the east gate. We ended the week in Lake Powell where we finally had some warm weather although it rained again. All in all another great trip in our pod, no problems, everything works as it should, and towed well except for hills which is to be expected using a v6 to tow. We have about 15 trips and close to 10,000 miles now on pod and 110,000 on jeep and still going strong! If I ever retire it will be more.


We did the North Rim a few years back. Did you know that less than 15% of visitors to the Grand Canyon see it from the north? It is spectacular and well worth the difficulty of getting there. We would love to see it again...camping there must have been incredible. Thanks for sharing your adventure! ]]> Tue, 20 Sep 2011 11:53:12 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2113&PID=19527#19527 North Rim Grand Canyon : Actually too well, we had water... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2113&PID=19524#19524 Author: barbanjoe

Actually too well, we had water dripping from the windows each morning! The heat was set at 60 and I only heard it come on 3 times all night. We were trying to dry out the humidity.]]> Tue, 20 Sep 2011 10:41:52 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2113&PID=19524#19524 North Rim Grand Canyon : will post some as soon as I sort... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2113&PID=19523#19523 Author: barbanjoe

Wow sounds like you had some fun.  Last winter I did alot of camping in the snow and ice and found that the pod did very well hold the heat in.  ]]> Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:16:58 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2113&PID=19505#19505 North Rim Grand Canyon : We left on 9/11 and towed RP171... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2113&PID=19504#19504 Author: barbanjoe
