Hi David,
We have thought about the rendez-vous. It probably won't happen for us. We will probably leave our r.pod in Alabama this summer. Things could change. Thanks for the invitation. Really liked the photos of the provincial park.

D.K. Campers - I wouldn't worry about snow for the Rendez-vous. Unlikely to have any at the beginning of June!

Johnandwendee - Have you thought about joining us at the Rendez-vous from June 4-7th? Currently standing at 12 R-Pods plus 29 other FR Rvs.

Cheers,

David]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2015 20:11:21 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5841&PID=56888#56888 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5841&PID=56879#56879 Author: techntrek

I wouldn't worry about snow, just use common sense and if you have a sway bar disengage it.  Ice I agree, it never makes sense.]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2015 19:05:58 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5841&PID=56879#56879 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5841&PID=56878#56878 Author: johnandwendee

Hi DK,
Welcome to Podland. Don't tow your pod unless the roads are bare of snow and ice (speaking from experience). It's about 3.5 hours from Buffalo to Brighton. If they filled in Lake Ontario it would be about 45 minutes. Don't know what hassles you might experience crossing into Canada. I'm sure no guns allowed. We travel into the States all the time so we know what it feels like to cross a border. Our experience has been good.

We are excited about all of this. It would be a new adventure in another country . I haven't looked at the rally info yet. Would you be so kind to give me a idea of cost? We are both working and would have to take time off. Thinking we would come in on a Friday and stay through the 9th.]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2015 12:43:49 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5841&PID=56860#56860 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5841&PID=56858#56858 Author: DavidW

Mapquest puts it at 3 1/2 hours but that is optimistic. I would add an hour just to allow for travelling at the speed limit with the R-Pod. Plus you need to allow a minimum 1/2 hour at the border crossing.

I would also watch out for rush hour traffic and travel on the 407 toll-road through Toronto.

We currently have 12 R-Pods coming and a total of 41 campsites including other FR RVs. There is ONE electrical sites left which will only take an "under 25 ft" trailer! Perfect for you.

Your RV dealer, like ours, would probably be most interested in helping out at a camp-out near where they are. I know that there was a camp-out last year at Watkins Glen and I could see that one at Golden Hill State Park, or a private RV park would be very attractive.

Getting across the border is easy. Just make sure that you have your passports, trailer registration certificate, pet vaccination and rabies certificate with you. Leave any meat products, fruits or vegetables at home (buy them here) and don't bring a firearm.

Hope you can make it!

David

thank you for the invite. is it stuff to get over the boarder with a trailer? also just talked to Ray Wakley,s Rv in North East PA where we bought our trailer and I suggested I would head up a rally around our area and they said they would help with sponsoring one. I would love someone out there to share with me how to set a rally up.

Welcome. Our 179 also resides w/ the dealer until the snow and cold transition into warmer temps and budding trees. It is hard to read about others getting out and not being able to yet. ]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2015 10:06:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5841&PID=56854#56854 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5841&PID=56853#56853 Author: D.

Thank you everyone. We are in Westfield ny 14787. About 60 miles west of Buffalo ny. We will be towing our new rig with a 2011 gmc terrain 6 cyl. We traded our forest river popup 2009 for our pod. I will be looking for interior pics of other pod to see how you have customize things to your liking. We will share too as the weather gets better. We are going to talk with a local awning maker to see what we can come up with instead of the r-dome. Am considering buying r-pod's bike rack. we will be in touch.

I know your pain, I bought mine 12/12/14 and its been at the dealer since. But, thanks to mild weather here in southwest ID I will be towing our r-179 home, where it belongs, when its not behind the TV going somewhere. I know that you will enjoy it greatly.]]> Tue, 17 Feb 2015 23:25:04 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5841&PID=56841#56841 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5841&PID=56836#56836 Author: techntrek

Hi everyone,today we became the proud owners of our 2015 model 179. It has been below zero around here for days,so our pod is still at the dealership but we have the keys. I have been reading the forums for a few months now really enjoy them. We would love to come to a rally this summer. R-pods are just being introduced in this area. I bet we will have a lot of people wanting to see ours as we are camping locally. I will have to post visiting hours.

Happy owners, DEB and KATHY]]> Tue, 17 Feb 2015 20:50:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5841&PID=56827#56827
