First Trip in my 171

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I got my 171 back in mid Feb. and took it out for the first time the first week of March to Lake Livingston State Park , Texas on one of our annual fishing trips . This is my first travel trailer and I love it . All of the other guys on the trip used tents and were jealous . The first two nights got down in the upper 30's and I was very cozy with one small electric heater . I did not hook any water up and just used the facilities provided (hot shower , bathroom). Here are a few pics of my trip .

	It looks like you had a wonderful time! I would swear you were in one of our (WI) state parks. I can't wait to get out on the 28th. Linda

	Glad to hear you stayed warm with just an electric heater. That's all we've ever used in our prior TT and pop-up. Looks like a beautiful campground. Darlene

	Hello ff404mag! I am a wanna be rpod owner in Texas. Where did you get yours and are you happy with the dealer service? I have been weighing the options of a trip to Ohio, freight from Ohio or trying to find a local dealer. There doesn't seem to be one anywhere near me. Becky

	Hi Becky I got mine in Fort Worth at VOGT RV . I feel like I got a fair deal since I didn't have to drive all the way to Ohio . They have several in stock and you can see them on line . They were very friendly and , yes I would recomend them . If you take the fuel cost and the days off of work that I would have missed , the price difference would have been close to a wash . My 171 was $13.5 with all the options , ac , r-dome , tv , micro ... . Mario

	Thanks Mario! We are hoping to get an rpod sometime this summer so if you see another one out there at the lakes it just may be us. I have seen the ones online at VOGT RV. We may have to take a weekend trip up there. There is also a place in Conroe but they don't seem to have much in stock. Becky

	Beautiful place... was your campsite really that secluded or is it the angle of the picture?
