Dave, Danette:  It is a very small world and pods are not that hard to spot.  When we had the Aliner we met people we knew from other campsites just because of the style of camper.  We have only had our pod a little over three months but already we have seen a few on the road--none in Florida parks yet.  But when we do spot one we will assuredly make it a point to introduce ourselves to the owners.

Lorraine, Bill:  I'm no computer wiz but I will post a link to a picture of our pod and tow vehicle.  I think first you have to have your picture posted somewhere online like Flikr--or uploaded to this website for it to show automatically.   Maybe Mother Goose can give us a quick tutorial.

Ah, yes, the blinds.  I did not think about the one over the sink and stove area but I can see why you took yours out, or did you?  Did you leave the blinds and just remove the valance?

I think eventually all the blinds will have to go in our Pod, especially the one at the end of the bed. A couple of the slats are already bent from hitting my head on them when laying down.  Then, too, they are a pain when trying to watch the little TV as you have a tendency to prop your head up on pillows which are then against the blinds.  My wife says she would eventually like to make curtains to replace them.

Wow you have been busy. I have just started doing some modifications to my 2014 182G. The first thing that had to go was the brown valance over my kitchen window. Yuck. Unhappy. I also added a soap dispenser that holds 3 products. I have more changes to come.

Six hundred miles round trip for us is rather short.  We like camping in the Smoky Mountains which puts Tennessee and the Carolina's much further away.  My wife intends to retire soon and when she does we will travel out west.

I forgot to mention I added stiffeners to the rear leaf springs on the Tacoma which stopped the sag when the R-pod is hitched.  The great part is, with the Taco, I can easily reach over the bed sides to retrieve items out of the back unlike the full size pickup truck beds, and the gas mileage is 25-27 mpg average when not towing.

Welcome.  I would consider a 600 mile trip a "long trip".  :-)
