A '99 Blazer V6 to a '12 GMC 1/2 ton... I am jealous!<div><br></div><div>As for the difficulty backing... Don't feel bad. Smaller trailers are actually more difficult to back up than larger ones. It has to do with the shorter wheel base offset from the hitch (pivot point). You'll get the hang of it. Keep trying/practicing.</div>]]>

I have used my R Pod quite a few times and enjoy it.  I am still trying to find space for things and found that you add a daughter and  a 4 year old granddaughter in it for a few days can be quite a challenge.  I have also since bought a 2012 GMC l/2 ton so it tows really easy, now if only I can learn to back up.  Enjoy the information from others that have R Pods.  ]]>

We did the mod to the driver's side settee to allow half of itto be a pantry storage. There are threads describing this mod. It is not hardto do and gives you 50% more under seat storage. We use it for stuff &nbsp;that is not needed regularly. <o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"="">We added throw pillows from Bed Bath and Beyond that areactually zippered storage pouches. we keep clothes and towels in them. we use the extrapillows on the bed to make movie watching more comfortable and also morestorage for clothes. When they pillows are on the settee it makes it reallycomfortable to sit "sideways" like a mini lounge chair - an addedbenefit to having this type of storage.<o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"="">of course Rubber Made is your friend for under bed storage. Andfor outside storage for all extra shoes and sandals.<o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"="">an added over-the-door coat hanger works well and we addedan neat wall hanging organizer from the Container Store for small "deskclutter", hats, and keys.<o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"="">We keep our dirty clothes in the bed of the TV in twofolding cloth containers (darks and lights<o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"="">Of course the number one storage solution is Don't Bring SoMuch. It has taken us a long time to figure out what we really need in a pod oron a small sail boat. And we are still learning that lesson.&nbsp; Paring back is essential<o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"="">Here are some snaps of the results:<o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"=""><img src="http://www.rpod-owners.com/uploads/1147/2012-07-07_06-36-23_64_opt.jpg" border="0" /><o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"=""><img src="http://www.rpod-owners.com/uploads/1147/2012-07-07_06-36-56_510_opt.jpg" border="0" /><o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"=""><img src="http://www.rpod-owners.com/uploads/1147/2012-07-07_06-39-16_872_opt.jpg" border="0" /><o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"=""><img src="http://www.rpod-owners.com/uploads/1147/2012-07-07_06-48-03_146_opt.jpg" border="0" /><o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"=""><img src="http://www.rpod-owners.com/uploads/1147/2012-07-07_06-49-48_519_opt.jpg" border="0" /><o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"=""><img src="http://www.rpod-owners.com/uploads/1147/2012-07-07_06-52-12_779_opt.jpg" border="0" /><o:p></o:p></p><p ="ms&#111;normal"="">Looking forward to hearing your ides too!<o:p></o:p></p><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;</div>]]>

I have camped for years and have had lots of vintage trailers, such as Bolers, now I am trying something new.  I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer 6 cyl. I don't think I will have any issues towing my new "rig" but am wondering others opinions or suggestions.  I am going to start with new shocks as the Blazer is a big sagging. ... <br />Anyway looking forward to exploring this site.<br />Thank you in advance and happy camping! <img src="http://www.rpod-owners.com/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> ]]>
