The PackR-Pod will be labeled and logod soon.

Nice!

We did that with ¡Podtástic! as well as other people.  If you go to our website, you'll see what we did-- podtastic.info.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks tpierce, I will check it out.

2peas....awesome tips, greatly appreciated.  I do have a Pod dome, it came as part lf my "package" purchase.  I also already own an EZ up shade from previous use.  Great tip, I would have left it home.

Cant wait to camp.

Hi,
I would recommend you lubricate the rubber gasket around the garage door.  Just had our gasket replaced under warranty because it dried out here in Texas.  Also bought a camping kitchen table set up and use it with the EZ Up in the back.  This set up Works great while cooking n the back.

Finally...picked up the PackR-Pod today. Very nice. 

Questions if I may...I received a camper 101 starter kit from the dealer.  Pretty much useless.  The sewer hose is junk.  What is the best sewer drain kit one can grab at Camper World etc. that you would recommend?  Length...is 15‘ long enough for most campgrounds?  

If you have a 182g....the dealer told me to travel with the TV mounted inside.  20-miles home and the TV swung around, was out of position etc.  I asked 3x doesnt it just stay in the back and use the cable tie down?  They insisted inside.  Any ideas?

Thanks again for the advice.

We travel with the TV in the back strapped in.  I personally would never ever leave it inside; that to me would beg for trouble.  

As far as a sewer hose goes, I got mine at Wal-Mart.  15' should be plenty.  Mine is 20' and came in 2-10' sections that I can connect together when need be.

Thanks Tim.  I thought the back made more sense, especially with the special strap.

We just bought a 2015 R-Pod 182G (gently used 3 times before we bought it) and love it.  The first time we went camping (on the beach near Santa Barbara, CA) there must have been 20 people that came by and said they loved our cute trailer and wanted to get a tour.  We love the outdoor kitchen and the ability to use our current vehicle (2010 Lexus RX450h hybrid with the tow package).  We are working on getting it outfitted/customized.
