Finally some photos - R-pod Owners Forum

Thanks for the pics! I like it.

Is that a frog???? It kind of looks like that insurance geko to me.

Ok, we picked up our new pod on November 19th. Our dome (which came with the pod) was backordered. It finally came in and we were able to pick it up today

We finally got a break in the frigid weather, giving me the opportunity to try my hand at the dome for the first time and get some photos. We have the 2011 177 with the new graphics. It looks just like the new Hood River Edition with the exception of the diamond plate, knobby tires and raised axles!

Here is the outside:

This is a closer shot of the rear spoiler with LED lights;

This is the new sink in the bathroom. Can you say "tiny?"

The curtain covering the storage space under the bed. Hides shoes, etc. It's a valance on a tension rod.

The stove cover/cutting board I made. It's not permanent, just in case...

I strapped my 5lb propane cylinder that I use for the Coleman stove on the tongue beside the battery. Perfect place!

This little guy is on the window on the door side of the pod. Is't he cute?

And finally, photos of the dome. I was amazed at how easily it went up. I took the advice found here about sanding the rough spots in the track, tightening up the screws inside the track, slightly bending the track opening to make it a tad larger and using silicone in the track. I had it up by myself in no time at all. About 10 minutes. The hardest part was trying to fit the darned thing back into the bag it came in. I've decided since I have plenty of space inside the pod that the dome's new home will be a rubbermaid tub. That was I won't have to fret over folding it to fit into the bag and if it happens to get wet during inclement weather while breaking camp, it won't make a mess if it's stored in a tub. I have a smaller bag that will hold the roof supports and the shock corded poles that form the curve in the dome.

So far we are thrilled with the pod but not real happy with Mother Nature. Unless we get one of those freaky warm weekends soon, it will be spring before we get to take our maiden voyage at a real campground. But if Ms. Nature does smile on us, we are packed and ready to go

	Thanks for the photos..that is the exact model I was looking at last week. I really liked it, and even though the sink is tiny, it is just perfect to wash hands. I am glad to hear you were able to put the dome up easily. Do you think it would be suitable for someone to sleep in (just in case of an overflow of people)?? Carol
