Snow/First time using it

Well, We ended up taking our Rpod to South Carolina for its maiden voyage.  It turns out it was also the first time in a long time that Florence, SC got snow.  So, the first time setting up the Rpod for real ended up being in the snow.  After it took a couple of tries of getting to a correct spot, I ended up using a normal 15 amp plug to plug in, since I did not need the air conditioner.

Having a drill helped a lot with raising and lowering the stabilizers.

I am very glad that we did some test runs at home, because in 24 degree weather we were able to keep the Rpod warm, even with the tent end down.  To keep warm, we used a $30 Sunbeam heater we got from walmart.  We had that setting higher then the furnace and the the furnace never had to come on in the middle of the night.  We also insulated the tent end with Reflectix and used a Heated Mattress Pad on the air mattress.

We ended up cooking breakfast in the Rpod and set off the Smoke Alarm(twice).  If you are cooking anything that will put off smoke, make sure to have the door open and the bathroom vent running.  I would also have a little fan pointing at the smoke detector.  The smoke detector seems to be VERY sensitive.

It was great being able to wake up on site and definitely look forward to using it again.

Only got one picture over the weekend and that was of the Rpod in the snow.
