I will keep my 180 until they come out with one that you can walk around the bed then I will upgrade. My only complaint is trying to make up that bed next to the wall but all the other great features make up for this one flaw. :)]]> Sun, 21 Aug 2016 19:26:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3581&PID=80852#80852 older owners : DawgLady & Rebecca, good... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3581&PID=80851#80851 Author: Luv2Q

DawgLady & Rebecca, good for y'all! We like that 180, too. In fact, we started with the 171 and then, when the 180 came out (with its bigger bath), we were persuaded to trade up.  So glad we did!  And, you're right: never too old to enjoy life.  I saw someone's rule of thumb the other day that makes a lot of sense: Drive 300 miles or until 3 pm and then stop for the day.  Good luck & safe travels!]]> Sun, 21 Aug 2016 19:12:13 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3581&PID=80851#80851 older owners : Lol...I didn't know there... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3581&PID=80843#80843 Author: Rebecca Dees

A lot of enjoyment has been had by us as well.  Giving tours at campgrounds, rest stops, gas stations of our 177.  Purchased in January 2011 when we were in our mid to late 50's after nearly 30 years of pop-up camping, a great move forward for us.]]> Sun, 21 Aug 2016 16:23:55 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3581&PID=80834#80834 older owners : Thanks!

We got ours at age 62. We just got back from a long trip. We are thoroughly enjoying our 179.
Welcome, and enjoy your new adventures.

I'm almost 65 and this is my first.

well like some of earlier posts we started late. I am 65 and Donna is 62 and we bought a 2011 RP-172 new and due to still working some we have to do 1, 2, or 3 nighters. We have a blast, Hike, fishing, short day trips, cooking on the open fire, walking around the camp ground and then after a while setting around the fire we make up the bed and watch big bang theory , Andy Griffith , 2.5 men DVD's and its not long until the bobble head kicks in. I am not sure why, but I think the combination of fresh air, open fire cooking and hiking cant be beat for a great sleep. We always rest well and feel refreshed while camping. The Pod cant be beat on design, price, value and Looks. We still are doing tours when we camp. ]]> Tue, 07 Oct 2014 21:56:37 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3581&PID=52558#52558 older owners : Originally posted by tomeverardHELLO..New... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3581&PID=52557#52557 Author: Luv2Q

Howdy, Tom.  Casita vs RPod:  that was our question, too.  Casitas are built less than 2 hours from us so we had a chance to look them over pretty carefully.  We like the way they're built but I guess we decided they're over-priced.  For the money, I like Camp-Lite.  But, it's a lot of $$.  The Pod seemed like the best all around compromise.  HTH & good luck with your search.

"Old beginners" .. As good a way to describe us as any, I guess.  I just turned 70 last March so I guess we're part of that crowd.  We last camped - with a pop-up -  2o+ years ago.  Cranking the damn roof up & down with an a/c on it got old fast, so we got out of the camping business for awhile.  Just picked up our new 171 a week ago today, though, so I reckon we're ready to take another stab at it.  Just got home late yesterday after 1300 miles dragging it throu several states.  No problems.  Just fun!  Hope you'll join in.]]> Tue, 07 Oct 2014 21:20:22 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3581&PID=52556#52556 older owners : And don't get mad if we... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3581&PID=52555#52555 Author: fwunder

I am 74 and just bought our R-Pod last week. You should have several more years to enjoy being an R-Pod owner.  Last Tuesday we drove the last leg of our trip back home from out west.  That was the last day we towed our 18' Aerolite Zoom, covering 625 miles mostly in the rain.  Very foolish, now that I have had time to think about it.
