Topic: Hello from new R-Pod 178 owner in Ottawa Posted: 17 Jun 2013 at 10:30pm |
We are looking forward to picking up our new R-Pod 178 on Thursday and getting ready for another season of camping at our provincial parks here in Ontario (and venturing further afield).
The 178's length will still let us get into some our favourite camping sites and the inclusion of the U-shaped dinette over the 177 will make life more comfortable when our younger 14-year old daughter decides to join us.
Our older daughter is off to Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario this fall and I can see many road trips in our future.
Cheers,
David

We just picked up our 178 last Thursday. So far no issues. The extra 16" with the bigger dinette has been great for the kids. Enjoy!

Thanks for the welcome everyone!
I forgot to mention that we also have the almost obligatory 2-year old Golden Retriever (Lily). I was going to have her sleep where the table goes but that won't work when we use the dinette as a bed for our daughter. I guess we will have to follow everyone else's lead and step over Lily in the middle of the night.
(Bodie55 - maybe you can help me decide whether a sleeping bag works best on the dinette bed, or whether an extra foam pad and/or sheets and a blanket would work?)
Anyway, we have picked Voyageur Provincial Park, half-way to Montreal, as our first test in the middle of July. Nice easy 1-hour drive on a 4-lane highway so everyone can pass me. And a pull-through camping site with electricity so that I don't have to back in (and have Liz wave frantically at me as I do so!) and can test out all the features of the R-Pod.
Cheers,
David

I put a square dog bed (which by fluke is an exact fit) under the table for my border collie. She likes the enclosed space and will sit there while we're moving around in the trailer. The dog bed has a bonus of being a warm spot to put bare feet while eating breakfast.
As you say, when the table is used as a bunk, there isn't enough room. My dog tends to curl up at the r-pod's door or right in front of the queen bed.
