Well, the two DSmiths and soon-to-be-grandchild are going to love the new Pod, I'm sure.  Lots of luck, and lots of fun!

Hey Diane I understand , I am also an old tail wheel pilot, I had a 1946 Taylorcraft.  I still love flying but I have to be realistic, flying is an expensive sport, I found a sweet 1964 Cessna 172 with 1800 hrs tt. NDH, it was at Seymour Indiana, but my wife said the only 172 your flying is the R-172. Life is but a compromise, Maybe I can get into plein aire painting with the pod, I am picking it up tomorrow morning, wish me luck, thats for the reply.

Dane, I'm in my late 50's and my husband just turned 60.  He's a licensed pilot, too, but for the life of me, as much as I love camping I'm afraid the Pod just holds no attraction for him!  I don't think it has the glamor of the 1942 deHaviland Tiger Moth he has, or the RV7 kit plane he just finished building.  Hey, you can tell which one of us has her feet on the ground! 
 
So, I just have fun podding around with my grown children and the grandkids.  And my husband will come visit us for a picnic, but that's about all.   I visit him at the small local airport and watch him putter around in the hangar, and he visits me and the grandkids for a picnic.  I guess that makes us a little "different" but it works.  We're each happy doing what we love to do.
 
Oh yes, and I do remember the days of sleeping in the back of the car!  Even a tent was a step up for us then.
 
You're gonna love your Pod.  Happy Podding!
 
Diane

Not a bad price at all considering what they were throwing in to make the deal.  Welcome to the world of podding.  Smile]]> Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:10:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2163&PID=20134#20134 2011 R 172 : IMHO, I think you did just fine... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2163&PID=20130#20130 Author: Guests

Right Hodge P, no slides, but with just the 2 of us, and maybe a grandkid on the way soon I think it will be a good fit for us. for a couple of oldsters me 62, Mommy 59, tent camping and sleeping in the back of the trail blazer are over, ohh I remember those days in the back seat 40 years ago, ohh well, we are looking forward to hitting the trail soon. will pick up the r-172 thursday. thanks]]> Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:19:43 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2163&PID=20127#20127 2011 R 172 : Tech is right - a very reasonable... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2163&PID=20126#20126 Author: Hodge-PODge

Tech is right - a very reasonable deal.  The RP 172 does not have a slideout, right?  (That was the clincher for my deal, and maybe I paid a little much to get the slideout, but I like the extra space.)]]> Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:07:19 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2163&PID=20126#20126 2011 R 172 : Welcome.

We have an offer for a 2011 (new not titled) R 172, they will throw in the R Dome, Anti sway hitch, prep, install the brake controller, fill up lp tank etc, and throw in another 1 year warranty because 2011 is almost over, price ? $12,830. I think I gotta go with it, I am 62 and cutting down on hours at work, wife and I are ready to try travel trailer camping, you think I should go for it, is this a good price?]]> Tue, 11 Oct 2011 07:55:00 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2163&PID=20110#20110
