welcome looks like a nice combination.  When I was out in Banff last june on the highway i spotted a r-pod being towed by an old station wagon and it looked great!]]> Mon, 21 Jan 2013 20:34:11 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3193&PID=30378#30378 WHITMAN'S TRY-POD : Welcome!

Welcome!  The Camino looks like it has a fairly long wheel base which is good for towing.  I wouldn't worry about the rear springs - instead look into getting a E2 or Equalizer weight distribution hitch (lots of posts around here about them).  It will greatly improve the ride and handling.  Combo of the pod + Camino will look great.]]> Sun, 20 Jan 2013 15:19:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3193&PID=30354#30354 WHITMAN'S TRY-POD : Welcome to the world of podding,I... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3193&PID=30352#30352 Author: rex

Love the El Camino I have no idea how well it will pull the pod. My first thought is that you might need to beef up the rear springs but I am saying that with no idea what the El Camino came with for rear suspension. Keep us posted on how it works.]]> Sun, 20 Jan 2013 14:19:13 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3193&PID=30351#30351 WHITMAN'S TRY-POD : Hello fellow Pod owners and... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3193&PID=30349#30349 Author: ClintWhitman

Hello fellow Pod owners and yes I am a newby of the first order. We purchased our pre-owned R-pod a  2010 171 !! We only had it 10 minutes as we were driving away pulling it with our Tacoma pickup and we named it Try-POD. A little about us?

 We have waited 2 years (saving) in order to pull this off. The economy has not been great and has had our purchasing in the dumps for the last 5 years. But we said the heck with it and found a wonderful 171 that looks like it has never been used. I am an astronomer and well known in the astronomy community. My friends call me (aveman here are a few pictures of one of the events my wife and I host CSPAMP  http://flic.kr/s/aHsjvwMpdv
This event is held on Mnt. Pinos in august every year and this coming year will be CSPAMP VI. These are usualy 3 day events and we stay in the parking lot on top of the mountain. 
Well as the owner of this new contraption it has allot of features and I have already spent a few hours on the group reading about the bells, whistles and honkers. Cant wait to take her out for a night or two. 
Our goal is to pull "Try-pod" with "Mickey" our 1966 El Camino. We have been restoring her for years..   
What do you all think????
