Hello from west central Wisconsin

Retired 2 years, living in the heart of the Driftless Region, we bought our first camper trailer from a neighbor. She's an R-Pod 171 (the trailer, not the neighbor), just about 5 months old. Lot's to learn! Like don't try to back over a culvert (new stabilizing jacks, $70.00). And use a knife to remove the battery case straps.

Looking forward to a new chapter in our lives!

Greetings from some neighbors to the immediate west, and welcome. Congrats on your "New to you" R-Pod. Every time we see one out and around, we admire ... they are really sharp and well thought.

Yeah, aren't those battery straps a ... err ... pain. We replaced with brackets that take a hex key ... four of those are still way quicker than than one funky strap thing.

We are just starting to encroach on that Fall season ... get out there and enjoy the glory of it !!!
