+1 on CharlieM comments. You deserved a good trip.



I still need a lot of practice but I nailed it the first time.

Savor the moment. If you are like me, it won't happen often. I undoubtedly provide a lot of entertainment for fellow campers.

Yes, everything worked very well.  I found the RF brake controller very easy to use.]]> Mon, 06 Jun 2016 20:47:46 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8118&PID=76685#76685 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8118&PID=76684#76684 Author: CharlieM

Very glad you had a success. With all the hassle you endured with the BMW you deserve it. I assume you deciphered the hitch and brake controller. Camp on!]]> Mon, 06 Jun 2016 19:33:07 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8118&PID=76684#76684 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8118&PID=76683#76683 Author: Jewel59

i have a new 180.  I took it out for the first time this weekend.  Some of you may be aware that I got the Rpod because I show chihuahuas and wanted to ditch hotels and camp at show sites.  The weekend was generally a success.  As a female traveling alone I was able to hitch, drive and back into my space.  I was very nervous about backing in without making a fool of myself.  I still need a lot of practice but I nailed it the first time.  There was a ton of rain upon my arrival and pretty bad storms Saturday night.  I could feel the trailer rocking during the storms which was a bit unsettling.  I had full hook-ups so got to experience the full set-up, take down and flush.  I thought the black tank flush system was awesome.  I had to run out an get a extension for my sewer hose but luckily found an extension at Walmart.  I'd say everything performed as expected...the fridge did well, there seemed to be enough hot water then I used hot water and the separate shower and vanity usable.  I can't help but to think that I am quite small at 125 pounds. I couldn't imagine a large person very comfortable in the trailer.  The Rpod has an amazing air conditioner. It was about 90-95 degrees and humid and the air did wonderful.  My BMW X3 did great towing.  Even with trucks passing on the freeway I had no sway as the vehicle was reprogrammed to stop sway when the hitch was installed.  There seem to be a lot of "nooks and crannies that could be used for little shelves and/or organizers.  I need to look at how people have done this in another section of the forum.  I have the week off and I'm taking the Rpod to state park tomorrow.  I need to try out the rdome.  The sun was brutal this weekend without the shade cover.  I just didn't want to attempt the rdome on the first trip.  So I'm very happy with my Rpod after the first trip!]]> Mon, 06 Jun 2016 19:21:38 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8118&PID=76683#76683
