Still waiting to pick up my R-Pod 175 a week from tomorrow.  I have been thinking about the RV supplies we will need / want, and thought it would be nice to have some patio lights to hang on our new R-Dome.  I saw the tip elsewhere about using klippy klips to hang the lights, but then I started thinking about power.
 
Is there a 110V outlet on the outside of the R-Pod?  Or is there usually a 15A connection with a standard dual blade plug at most RV sites?  
 
It's been many years since we did any "mobile" camping...
Regards,

Bigbit

Yes, and yes (there is an outlet on the exterior of the r-pod and most campsites also have a standard 15 amp outlet on the pole).

Yes and yes.  There is an outlet on the curb side on my 171 (and most campers) and many campgrounds have 15 amp outlets next to the 30 amp outlet.

It is always a good idea to travel with a 15-30 adaptor and a 30-15 adaptor.  You can get them at RV supply places.  They often come in handy as electrical connection vary from park to park.

my favorite thing was the memory foam we purchased at walmart for the bed in our 175. 4 inch online for $93, well worth it
