Watched a show the other night where they clear wreck sites. Semi and flatbed ran off highway and over bridge rail into a river. Three TTs on board. Needless to say everything destroyed by time they got it all back on road to haul off. In the 70s I drove a AAA tow truck, glad I didn't get that call :)]]> Sun, 05 Nov 2017 16:24:23 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8959&PID=101751#101751 Transport new rpods : I see a 3 pod flat bed load every... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8959&PID=101740#101740 Author: john in idaho

I've seen trailers of RVs going north on the interstate in Wisconsin. Different makes and models, but never R-Pods. Maybe just don't remember.]]> Sat, 04 Nov 2017 20:16:10 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8959&PID=101732#101732 Transport new rpods : When we picked up our 177 back... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8959&PID=84791#84791 Author: jato

When we picked up our 177 back in March of 2011 our spare tire and mount (packaged in cardboard - mount only) were found inside on the floor. The dealer took them out and mounted it for us before our walkthrough.

Would you figure that's about a 13K load including the transport trailer? Wonder if the spare tires & their rear mounts are shipped separately, or they are carefully tucked into the trailer interiors..... Ouch

Last Thursday on way up to Couch to get our new pod we saw 2 flat beds going south each with 3 pods and both did that increase the anticipation. Sadly will be winterizing this weekend and putting into storage for spring. Hope it's a short winter :)

I would imagine the "big ones" are delivered one at a time.
Say a car-carrier full of Corvettes the other day though :)

It of course party depends on where you live.. we see loads of 'vettes almost every day.. but then we live an hour from the factory and travel I-65..

Furpod. Thanks for posting the picture. Smaller tow rig than I had pictured in my mind. I still find it strange that I have never seen a rig transporting campers of any kind ever. Cars,Boats,golf carts and trailers but never campers.]]> Fri, 28 Oct 2016 05:49:19 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8959&PID=84068#84068 Transport new rpods : Here is one from a "sighting"today...... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8959&PID=84062#84062 Author: furpod

There is currently a shortage of transport drivers.. You may have seen RV's in transit and not realized it. Most drivers are just regular Joe's with a 1 ton truck, making some extra cash.

Thanks for the reply

I'm ok. Just came up in conversation and I was curious. Wink

May seem like a silly question. I assume they transport new rpods to the dealers on some sort of flatbed? Anybody have an answer or better yet a picture? I can't say I have ever seen campers of any kind "in transport " how many pods to a truck?

Thanks
