We had a blast on our first trip out with the Pod!  It is so well designed, easy to use, and comfortable!  We stayed in the national forest south of Flagstaff, AZ.  After reading the board, I have quite a few mods planned, but after this trip one mod has been bumped to the top of the list:  mud flaps!  HAHA!  It rained on our way there and the roads were quite muddy!  While the Pod towed great through the mud, the entire side area behind the wheels was coated.  Luckily a strong shower rolled through and washed most of it off for me!  (And zero leaks too!)

Zero Leaks, an Operational AC = "Good To Go" !!!!!

Great pics, and your pit crew looks like a Pro getting those stabilizers down/up. Looks as if the Pit Crew will have a new member soon.
Congrats !!!!
Don't worry about the mud, gives your Pod a great look !!

I stayed at a county/military park just south of Flagstaff last year.  Hummingbirds all over the place.  Once I have Podterfly Level, Myra has the same job, put down the lego blocks and stablizers.  Last year she had to use the crank, this year I got her (me) LOLa drill bit.
 
I found some car mud flaps (didn't cut the long piece just let it rest inside the wheel well, did have to cut for the r-dome skirt rail) at an auto store for $10, and 6 holes and small bolts later had flaps.
