Hello together,

as of today I can call myself as a Rpod owner!!! This afternoon we picked our Rpod up and brought it home. I was surprised how easy it is to pull. Our old Camper was not running so smooth behind.

This weekend we will have our first trip with it Tongue. The kids love it already can't wait for the weekend.

Life isn't a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safe in a pretty well preserved body, but to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up totally worn out, loudly proclaiming WOW WHAT A RIDE

Mik-Congratulations on your 172.  The kids will love it!  We took our 4 kids to Fort Wilderness in Disneyworld every winter for 3 weeks when they were growing up.  1 week was spent driving there and back from Northern Wisconsin.  They were the best vacations kids could ask for.  They still talk about them.  Teachers put together packets of school work for them.  I remember them learning math facts while waiting in line for rides.  Outdoor movies and sing alongs, tennis courts, 2 pools, beach, playgrounds...just a great time.  Kids love camping and it is such a great way to spend time with them.. Have fun, Linda and Ted

We are back from our first trip with our new pod. We went to Lake Jocassee in SC. Everything worked out very well. We had a beautiful weather and the kids loved it. They really love the pod and even with it being so small, it's enough for all of us. Our Odyssey is pulling the pod very well. It was really a smooth and easy trip. I think the sway bar was a good investment. At the campground several people came by and asked about the pod and liked it. Interesting how many people are attracted to the pod.

Glad you had a great trip Mik !! The majority of Pods perform flawlessly, some have minor issues, a few have problems. The Pod doesn't require much from a Tow Vehicle, so as long as the driver doesn't either, things usually work out well.
They sure do attract some attention, don't they ?
