Just want to introduce myself, have been lurking for a couple of
weeks...I currently have a 2003 Coleman Bayside pop-up that I am getting
ready to trade for a 2013 177. Can't wait. I really liked the Bayside, have had it for 2 years but out of the 6 times I used it it was raining 4 times as I struck camp. What a mess it is closing up and then reopening at home to dry out the tent. Also, cranking the top up is really hard on my shoulders as I get older  . Anyway, I look forward to making friends and acquaintances on this forum and sharing stories and mod ideas.

You will definitely enjoy the the Pod a lot more. I do not miss all the stooping and bending to get at stuff in the pop-up nor do I miss the setup and teardown. |

The nice thing about the R-Pod is that on the rare occasion that we pull into a camp site in the rain or drizzle, Joyce and the pups can go directly from the TV to the 'Pod, and I, hero that I am, can have the 'Pod disconnected from the TV, leveled, hooked up to elec. and water, jacks down, and inside for a waiting beverage in less than 20 minutes. And if it is not raining too bad, I have even been known to erect the R-Dome first! ------------- Bob and Joyce Jennifer and Baxter, the Campin' Cocker Spaniels RP 177 "Key Pod" Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT / Z71 |
