Should I ask questions in the general question forum?

Thank You in advance to EverYonE!!!
Power to the PodPeople!


The AC is loud in all of them.  You get used to it eventually, one trick is to switch the fan mode to to run constantly at night so that you don't get as big noise when it first kicks on.  I used to not be able to sleep with it, now 4 years later I'm fine...usually!

Ask questions anywhere the forum headlines are pretty well outlined and a bit of reading and you'll see that any question possible about an Rpod has been asked at some point in time.  The search function is great, just always use the advanced search option.

And again, think about joining us other owners at rallies, we love new Podders!

Congrats. So much to consider about maintaining and feeding of the Rpods. From my perspective, after reading all of the posts regarding maintenance before we bought ours, I would suggest a torque wrench. Check each wheel before travel each trip. I torque ours to 95 ft. lbs. I read where a Podder had lost a wheel, like yours, and I didn't want to deal with the aftermath. Lots more to read regarding maintenance. You might also want to replace your mattress before experiencing the exquisite pain of sleeping on the matt that FR provides.

Thank You Everyone!

We didn't get much of a chance to explore with the LARK that we had. We really look forward to having long weekend trips and self contained vacations as soon as possible!

It's really a plus for us that we can take our dogs with us without having to worry about a no pet policy.
This forum is really amazing. My GF, Amber, and I both love a sense of community, close friendships and helping others. My father taught me a long time ago to listen and learn from others. :@)

The RP 176 excited us because if the bunk beds that would allow us to take friends with us. As far as what kind of camping we like to do, we like being able to enjoy full hookups, but we also love being self contained on top of a mountain or next to a river as well as in the out-of-state families driveway.

  Welcome from right down the road.  I tow with a 2010 FJ and have a 2010 176.  We've had the pod a little over a year.  I'll be interested to hear how you think your pod pulls. 

  What kind of camping do you do?

  As for what to know or consider -- this is a great place to ask questions.

Welcome welcome welcome!!


Glad to have you with all of us.  If you or your girlfriend are on Facebook be sure and join the groups there as well, they are extremely active.

Also you're in the neck of the woods of a lot of rallies this year, if you folks are into meeting and camping with other Podders there is quite a lot to check out this season.  

Let us know anytime that you have questions!

Hello everybody!   

I'm Jamie, and my girlfriend, Amber and I are the proud new owners if a new 2014 RP176, Hood River edition.   

We are relatively new to travel trailers. We did have a 1974 LARK and spent a lot of time and money rehabbing her. I did not however have the axle checked. The whole wheel came off the hub as we were pulling it down the interstate. Fortunately, we or our furry kids weren't injured. The LARK however was opened up like a can of biscuits.   

That was over a year ago. Here we are now and we decided to finance the sweet baby!

Well, hello everyone!!!

Jamie and Amber
