Welcome, Karen.  We somewhat downsized when we bought our pod, going from a popup which was nearly 30 feet long when open, to the 17 foot pod.  You'll adjust.  Now we've gone the other way and own a 26 foot TT.]]> Sat, 17 Jan 2015 23:49:41 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5699&PID=55793#55793 New Podder Here!! : Originally posted by karen&warren Big... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5699&PID=55759#55759 Author: Craneman

Thinking about naming it the DoodlePod, but haven't decided for sure. 

Let the adventure begin!!Thumbs Up

Would be interested in how well the explorer pulls the r pod

We are going down the same road here.  We just sold our 35ft 5th wheel, moving to a 179.  Downsizing and determining what earns it keep does require a reassessment from past travel lives.  Anxious to hear how it works for you...we get our Rpod in March.  Looks containers/storage boxes for the truck is part of the solution.

Enjoy...happy travels in the new 182G.

Bringing my clothing is still the biggest challenge.  I am putting the shelf above the bed in my pod.  That will solve the problem.  I love the Garage!  THe only thing I want but don't have room for in this trailer vs. the one I sold is my motorcycle.  Oh well...  Bikes can go in the truck.]]> Fri, 16 Jan 2015 10:44:14 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5699&PID=55756#55756 New Podder Here!! : Big day for us, we are picking... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5699&PID=55755#55755 Author: karen&warren

We call ours "the Pod". The uppercase "P" was DW's idea. She's the creative one.

DW & I saw our first R Pod last October while we were camping in our popup at Myrtle Beach State Park. Every since then we have been talking, researching, lurking in website forums,, etc.
We finally bit the bullet today. Our 179 is on order & we will pick it up in March. I retire the end of March & cannot wait to get the pod on the road. DW still has to work another year so I have to contain my enthusiasm!!
