Hey everyone!,
My name is Ryan and the family and I are from Michigan. We just bought a 2021 RP171 to tow behind our 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I am a little paid on call firefighter and EMT in the Manistee National Forest. Before that I was in the Army as a Military Police soldier. This is our first ever travel trailer and Rpod. We have been in a12yr old pop up for the past few years. They boys and I hope to learn a lot from the group and are excited to go camping after this whole coronavirus thing is over!

Welcome and congratulations from another Army Veteran (Military Intelligence, Retired 1SG)! I hope you have many fun adventures and make many great memories with your RPod. We have enjoyed our 179 very much. Like you, we are waiting to be able to get out there camping.

Ryan, thank you for all the work you do as a firefighter. I have a niece in Colorado that does the same. This has been our 'go to' for information and help, your 24/7 owners manual. We have a r-pod roundup planned June 18-21 in Traverse City. Just spoke to the administrator of the campground today, they plan on opening mid-May. Hopefully this will go on as planned. You are invited to attend. More info under the events tab. Enjoy your new 171 ! We like you camped for many years in a popup before purchasing our 177. Nine years later and the newness and excitement still hasn't worn off, you are in for a great adventure! Pod on.
