Love that area, we used to vacation at Fripp Island when we were a lot younger. Now we have a pod it might be fun to head that way some time.]]> Sun, 27 Apr 2014 20:19:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4643&PID=45213#45213 New R Pod 179 Owner Louisville KY : Originally posted by ViperbyteHello... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4643&PID=45208#45208 Author: kymooses

Hello Everyone,

Before I introduce myself, I just wanted to thank all those on the forum who have provided such valuable information. Upon researching which RV Trailer I was going to buy, I decided on the R Pod based mostly on the information I was able to receive here long before I joined. Thank you so much.

I purchased the 179 model and took delivery a few weeks ago. My girlfriend and I have been out once for a 3 day trip to General Butler State Park last weekend. It was awesome! That is saying a lot considering I am a traditional tent camper. Yes, even the standard stock mattress was better on my 50 year old back then sleeping on the ground.

I ordered the 179 with the R Dome, Cover and upgraded to dual propane, and dual batteries for when we do winter camping off grid. My TV is a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 V8. I had Delightful Days add a sway bar also. In the future I hope to get the Solar Panels. Overall it was great and during the trip even though the campground was minimally used, there were 2 other R Pods in the campground.

I look forward to join one of the R Pod weekend meet and greets at some of the state campgrounds. One of the other R Pod owners told me about them last weekend.

Again thank you everyone; all the information in this forum is so helpful. Hopefully when I become a more seasoned R Pod owner, I can contribute also.

Oh, one question as silly as it may sound, do people usually name their R Pod?

Take Care

Did you buy from Right Stop?  

Also in the 'ville.  Lots of other Podders here in the neighborhood.  A bunch of us camped this weekend in Rising Sun Indiana and more of us going there this coming weekend again for a FROG Rally at the same spot.

You'll really have to hit up the Kentucky Rallies this year.  We'd love to meet you folks.

Welcome!
Like you I have found this forum to be a wealth of information!
Haven't been out in our 179 yet, got it 5 days ago and its killing me not to have camped yet.

However we go for 2 nights next week at Hunting Island State Park on the beach in SC!
Can't wait although I prefer mountain camping and like you, I do a lot of off season camping.

I've been crawling all over mine this weekend making a few mods, and unfortunately fixing a few factory goofs, all in all though the rpod is better made than just about ANY RV I've ever owned and it has been a bunch in the last 40 years!
