OK, OK  Calm down.  We're just trying to make a memorable video.  That's all.  I guess we could do with out the elephants.  I just thought you would have some in your lawn "ornaments?"
We've got all sorts of time.

I guess we could do without the dancing girls too.  But the beer is not negotiable !
That, a video camera and the R Dome and we are home free. 
Let's do it. 
Podpatrol, have you had any other offers ? Did MGM or anyone from Hollywood call ? How about MTV or ABC or CBS ? 
Well we don't need them do we team ?

Seriously, that's a great idea to do an R-Dome video while we are there. I think it can all be done. We have 3 days for it, after all.
Tink, I think he has underestimated us!!!  I have a lead on some PINK elephants!!! Big smile
 Stay tuned. LOL

Honestly, I came back to this thread to delete it cause I've missed the new posts.
This is great !!! I thought perhaps the poll options may had been a bit to "gamey". Oh, was I mistaken. How did elephants and weight loss get involved ??? At the ERU I didn't see any elephants, and no extra 30lbs.
Did I miss something ???? I think not !
Have fun with this, make it funny, serious, informative, or non-sense, just do it !!! It'll be a big hit !!!

I promise !!! LOL

Please incorporate the "mods" to make it easier to assemble. Perhaps perspective r-pod owners could address this issue w/their dealer to replace the track screws (or straighten them out) and making the track more flanged to help slide the r-Dome through it. The more insight the better.
Perhaps FR will address this issue if dealers are being asked to improve the r-Dome track.

Elephants or not, a video illustrating an r-dome set-up is just real cool.  If the video production occurs during the camping in Maumee I think I'll do the round-up just so I can witness the making of the video.  I think it has a real chance of being a classic.Thumbs Up
I can't stop dreaming about June 15, 2013 when we get to permanently escape in our "Escape Pod" which is a 176T towed by a Chevy van with a 5.7L engine.

I'm thinking maybe we do two videos...one before the beverages and one after that has a Charlie Chaplin silent movie feel to it Clap

After a short view of the "Poll" ... I'm wondering who voted for the 3rd and 4th choices. My guess is they are married to one another ....LOL Wink LOL

The campers registered so far for the Fall Ohio Roundup have taken a secret vote ( you didn't know about it did you?) and decided that anyone not in the production crew  will have to pay admission to watch this EPIC film being made.  There will be  an autograph session BEFORE the filming starts and the cast will be available to sign autographs for A FEE.
So anyone wanting to watch a real professional? crew in action had better get signed up soon because the limited spots are going like snowballs in June in Kentucky.

So now we are at the point of "filming" the "filming" of "How to Construct an r-Dome" ??? I can hardly wait for the sequel .... "r-Dome II",,,, subtitled: "how do we get this thing down and back into that little bag?"
