As for avatars, they need to be 64 x 64 pixels.

Yes but what I mean is that I have chosen one that is the right size (a little smaller, even) and it uploads, but it doesn't show when I make posts, like yours with the launching space shuttle.

...

Thanks for fixing it for me!]]> Sun, 17 May 2015 12:24:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6250&PID=60363#60363 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6250&PID=60362#60362 Author: techntrek

Wow.  Stay away from Chalet, duly noted.

I appreciate your comments, Kickstart. They're very encouraging.]]> Sun, 17 May 2015 01:08:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6250&PID=60334#60334 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6250&PID=60333#60333 Author: Kickstart

Welcome, MontyD, and I can relate to your Chalet problems. I had a Chalet for the longest 5 RV years of my life (leaks, poor-stapled-cratewood interior framing, rusted screws, mildew, crumby quality fittings, etc.). Your problems sure sounded familiar. When I spent more time on upkeep than camping, it was time to get rid of it.

I've owned a pocketfull of trailers, camper vans, and pickup campers over the years. The Chalet OWNED the bottom of the quality list! So don't beat yourself up over what you had to deal with, as you've got yourself some company. Compared to a Chalet, the Pod is a portable mansion. So enjoy!

Originally posted by techntrek Congrats.  Any camper should be fine outside far longer than that.  Just what did they say was wrong with your Chalet?

I think it was a combination of newbie inexperience that I didn't know proper routine RV maintenance and a period of severe personal straits that pulled my attention away from taking care of the vessel.
The repair folks showed me the results: One of the roof walls was so filled with water it took days for it to drain out. The skin was completely delaminated, the screws for everything were rusted away, the inside of the wall was so rotted out there was nothing for screws to hold onto anyway. There was mildew and they said, "We'd hate to let you sleep even 1 night in this."
From the sun the large front plastic cargo box and lid were cracked and warped and the bubble skylight windows were irrepairably clouded. The poor thing was a mess.
All's well that ends well ... I got my new R-Pod!]]> Sun, 17 May 2015 00:25:11 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6250&PID=60331#60331 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6250&PID=60324#60324 Author: techntrek

I'll be picking up my very 1st R-Pod next Wednesday - 2016 RP178. It was an unexpected purchase. I previously owned a '06 Chalet Arrowhead that had sat out in the weather almost completely unprotected for over 6 years. I took it in for repairs and learned that it had been so badly ruined that it was practically unrepairable ... just before I was planning to take it out on a very extensive road trip!

What did I do? "Let me see what else you have," I said.

I had to have an R-Pod as soon as I set foot in one. I'm thrilled and so anxious to go get it.

Glad to find out about this forum too. I'm hoping to learn a lot from it.
