 My wife & I had our 1st outing together at Sakatah Lake State Park, 2 hours from our house. Our stay in our 180 was terrific! Off-Grid with two 6v batteries for 2 nights, 3 days. Batteries still at 80%(12.5v).
The shower is "small", but very useful. Hot Water was quick to heat.
We need to work on water usage (I think we filled the toilet too many times).
I used a Huge Inverter for my wife's hairdryer :)
Leveling was a bit of a Challenge(uneven spot). You can never bring too many wood blocks.

	I was in a state park on the mass/new york border, and i was bummed out that i only got one ogler, to come see my pod. heh. It was really a better park for tenting, so maybe tenters are less inquisitive?

	I get those compliments and give tours even in our driveway. They sure are attention-getters.

	Grinning from ear to ear. First trip out was great. Went to Waubeeka campground in Copake NY.It was about a 1hour from the house.The trip up there was smooth, got out of work early to beat the rush and they gave us a nice level site looking at the lake. Wasn't there 5 minutes when got the first compliment on the pod, and by Sunday I got at least 20 likes and one walk thru. Made new friends and new memories, can't wait till the next adventure.
