Welcome out of the darkness of lurking.  We all learn from the questions and answers that people post here.  Lots of knowledge, laughs and smiles can be had here. ]]> Sat, 25 Oct 2014 09:09:12 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5448&PID=53217#53217 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5448&PID=53212#53212 Author: SKIGUY

BTW, before I joined this forum I lurked here for about a year.  I got a lot of really useful information from Pod owners and so I just want to say "Thanks!" to everyone. ]]> Sat, 25 Oct 2014 00:31:04 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5448&PID=53212#53212 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5448&PID=53211#53211 Author: SKIGUY

I carry two 13' Necky Manitou kayaks on top of the TV.  I'm not sure the hitch on the back of an RPOD is all that strong, the cross-member is only 1.5" and the hitch has a fairly low rating.  It's not just the weight, it's also the leverage being applied.  Others with more experience could weigh in on this (pun intended, LOL), but I probably wouldn't do it.  ]]> Sat, 25 Oct 2014 00:24:05 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5448&PID=53211#53211 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5448&PID=53056#53056 Author: Joe-n-Terri

Welcome, we are new to the forum and to "podding" ourselves.  I have to ask, do you carry your kayaks on your TV or have you came up with a mod for the pod? I was thinking of putting the spare up front and adding a cargo carrier to the back of the pod and strapping the yaks down to it on their edge.  ]]> Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:44:20 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5448&PID=53056#53056 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5448&PID=53020#53020 Author: kymooses

You've tried them all, like us.  We've tent camped, pulled a popup tent trailer, had a 20' class C, several truck campers, and now the r-pod.  We like the idea of unhooking the trailer at a campground and then exploring with our truck.  Plus now we can put bikes and a lot more in the truck, not so easily done with other RVs.  Enjoy!]]> Mon, 20 Oct 2014 16:14:32 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5448&PID=52999#52999 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5448&PID=52998#52998 Author: techntrek

New members:  2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee (5.7L V8, class IV tow pkg, 7200# tow capacity), 2015 RPOD 178, Equalizer W.D. hitch, Tekonsha P3 brake controller.  We camp a lot in the Rockies, carry bikes and two kayaks, so for me this is the minimum setup.  In the past, we've had a class C rv, a diesel-pusher class A, a truck camper on an F-250, and now we're trying the travel trailer rig.  Just another adventure, should be fun!
