Nice form, your pod lines up perfectly with your tow vehicle.

Thanks, after we put some "stuff" in it I will do the same drill and post it.  I guess I will move further observations of a "pod newbie" in the review sections.  
 
I have already made my first "mod"  ...  it was easy...  check it out later.

So that gives me an empty rig weight of 2730#.   Not too bad.  Will post more tomorrow on first impressions..   Overall it was good.  But I did see some things I want to change.]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:02:58 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3280&PID=31161#31161 Full Circle : The 2460 was the rear axle... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3280&PID=31160#31160 Author: Thinker

The 2460 was the rear axle of the pod only.   I then went home and got my bathroom scale.   It showed the tongue weight.

The first thing I did was go to the nearest Interstate weigh station and get it weighed.  The pod was empty except for fresh water 3/4 full.

We gave up our TT two years ago, we tented a few times since and have found that it isn't as fun as it was 15 yrs ago. We planned on getting another large trailer but after seeing the Rpod, we had to have it so that is what we bought.  ]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2013 18:46:40 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3280&PID=31149#31149 Full Circle : Welcome!

We have had a long journey camping.  First with tent, then popup, then TT, then small 5th, then diesel TV with large 5th, then 36' Diesel pusher.
 
Less is more.  We are now enterering the world of minimalst camping.  Our large library of books is now on Kindle.  Our food needs are less as we are on a ketogenic lifestyle with minimal carbs.  Our life expectations are fewer. 
 
Formerly from New Orleans, our 36' Diesel Pusher was our hurricane escape vehicle, when Katrina came, it became our home for three  months... then the following year, became our home as we moved 55' above sea level just across the Louisiana state line to Picayune, MS.  This is a nice little town.  We bought two acres, and lived in the RV while building a large barn with apartment -- we call it the barndominium.
 
We moved in the barn and built a large house.  We spent a few years getting settled, then realized, we really did like the RV life and the "getting away" part. 
 
Our DP pulled a Honda Pilot toad.  To sweeten the deal, we sold the Pilot with the DP.  It was rigged with air brakes and full light connections, as well as towing baseplate.   After two years with a VW Diesel Jetta Sportwagen, we switched back to a larger SUV that had some tow capacity.    Paw Paw Camper City is based in Picayune and is an R-Pod dealer.  So we have been driving past them for several years.  This year, we go serious and made the jump...   put money down on the 171.  There is just DW and myself so all we need are the queen and a/c.  Bath is nice. We want to keep the two weight down to be able to take this anywhere we took the DP.
 
Sorry....  did not mean to write a book.   Thanks to the owners of this site for setting it up.
