We camped in St. Augustine in June.  Theres the Stage Coach RV park which is reasonable and close to  the city.  Anastasia Island is fantastic if you can get in.]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:06:51 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2869&PID=27300#27300 New R-Pod owners in Florida : Originally posted by techntrek Originally... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2869&PID=27193#27193 Author: TerryM

Wow, congratulations! 


I didn't want to hijack this thread about my new brother so I started a new one here: http://rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2876&PID=27192#27192

Since today is the 27thof Aug already,  I guess you mean the 17th of September?
If we go in Sept., it would be 9, 10 and 11, otherwise October.  We work on the weekends and travel Monday and Tuesday.  It's amazing that you found him after all these years.


Embarrassed Yep, that does sound better!  Senior moment 1 million!

See Ya soon,

Edie, Joe and Kona-

Have a great time!  Don't forget to tell your sales guy that another Pod is headed for CK!

We'll hold down the fort while you take delivery on your new home-  (as in, "Home away from Home!")

Thankfully, Issac should not bug you too bad on your first road experience.  I have been researching hitches, (in fact, a Class III should arrive via UPS tomorrow for the Grand Cherokee), and I understand the function of and the need for the load redistributing hitch that LD recommended.  It should make the trip home quite enjoyable.

Soooo, just a couple of more days having to choke down Jiffy Store coffee, and I guess we'll see you at the shop on Friday morning.  We are anxious to see the new toy, and get rolling on a Pod of our own.

That Wednesday morning when we stopped for breakfast is turning quite expensive!

Bob, Joyce, Jennifer and Baxter

I think us Floridians need to all get together sometime.  Pick a spot in the middle of where we all live.  A mini Pod gathering.

Yes, they still give the free meals to their customers and it's breakfast and lunch.  We are going there tomorrow morning to pick up our Pod and will spend 2 days there and eat for free the whole time.  They have a special campground area for the RV deliveries and we can use all the regular campground amenities (showers, pool, spa, game room, etc).  It should be fun.
By the way, we are planning a trip to St. Augustine soon, do you want to meet for a cup of coffee?


That would be great!  Just depends on when I guess.  On the 17th. of August I'm flying to CA to meet my 1/2 brother for the first time.  We just found each other.  He is 82 years old!

They are a very good dealership.  We bought our Dutch Star motorhome from them.  I wish I still had it!  Not that I don't like my Pod though!!  It might be interesting to post how many free breakfast meals they provide everyday.  I know when we got the motorhome it was in the 100's on the weekends.  We can stop in for a free breakfast as long as we live.  I wonder if they still do that?

Edie, it was Christmas time two years ago, we hit Manatee Springs also that trip. Florida is coming up on the rotation again. But as we don't usually set a destination, just because we head towards something doesn't mean we'll get there. We started for Florida in Feb. and spent two weeks on the back roads of Georgia.]]> Sun, 26 Aug 2012 20:41:41 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2869&PID=27122#27122 New R-Pod owners in Florida : Welcome.

Hi All,
We just bought a 2013 177 but haven't picked it up yet.  We had to order a class 3 hitch so had to wait.  The dealership is Lazydays in Tampa and we were scheduled to pick it up tomorrow, Monday, but now we had to postpone due to the storm.  Bummer !  Since our tow vehicle is a 96 Mazda MPV, the dealer recommended that we purchase  a Blue Ox Sway Pro Weight Distribution Hitch and so we did.  I wanted to have the easiest towing experience since I will be doing most of the driving and it's kinda scary.  The dealership will install everything plus they want you to camp overnight there so they can make sure you know how to work everything.  Can't wait !!!!
