I'm jealous We are heading to an RV show on Saturday, hopefully they will have some Pods to look at. How much did you end up paying if you don't mind my asking?

Is that park still open in Santa Barbara with all the campers living full time there? I remember hearing about it last time I was in
SB. It wasn't like that 40 years ago when I grew up there.

Dman, we paid $14,700 @ Stoltzfus RV in Adamstown, PA. Couch's RV in Ohio was cheaper @ $13,795 with a six week lead time. Stoltzfus had the unit we wanted with the options we wanted and they are close by (relatively).
I should say both dealers were very pleasant to deal with. For what it's worth, Couch's RV told me their price was going up $300 next week.

There is a rv park on Salinas St. Right off the 101 that has been there a long time, I think it is called Sunrise RV. I would not call it a campground and I would not recomend it though. It may have gotten better over the years but I. Remember it being pretty much a parking lot right off the freeway.
There is a campground up the coast called Ocean Mesa, right across from El Capitan State beach that is pretty nice. Not for full timing though it is expensive but clean and with an ocean view.

I am thinking of a city park that there were lots of "homeless" folks with campers who lived there. Maybe it is gone.
I grew up in Summerland, and went to school in Carpinteria. Then moved east. SB is a beautiful place. I just can't afford it. I haven't been there since the stoplights on 101 were removed. One of these years I have to get back and enjoy it again.

It is beautiful and expensive. I grew up here and have managed to stay. Still lots of homless folks.

Carpinteria High reunions are becoming multi-year, and my brother's is next year. I may fly out for that. I can't bring the pod but may come and look around a little. It would be fun I think. We will see.

I agree the price you quoted is a little high for a year-old model, but it can't hurt to go and see it in person and take a printout of a lower quote for a current model as leverage. I got my local dealer within a few hundred dollars after pulling out the quote where they wouldn't come within a few thousand before that moment.

If you get the anchor, be sure to get the storm jib.... comes in handy in a blow.
