Hi Keith
Saw a post where you were heading to Door County back in May. We are heading up there in October. Coming from the Cincinnati area. Staying at Egg Harbor Campground. Just wandered if you have any recomendations for the area? Can't wait!
Thanks

Just got back from an epic Labor Day road trip, only saw ONE R-Pod the entire 4 days and it was driving through Badlands National Park. I was hoping to see more. We must have seen a hundred of them on I-70 when we went to Colorado a month or 2 ago.

We are currently at Escalente, Utah in the first third  of a 3month trip . We left North Carolina  Aug 10 and so far have seen 12 pods. We have been  in West virginia , Kentucky,  Illinois, Indiana, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho and now Utah.We camped north of Salt Lake  a couple of nights ago and there were 2 pods at the same campground. We met the Baells from SC and Tom from Nebraska. We all enjoyed talking and comparing our pods and mods. It was Toms birthday and we all sang to him.

Lots of pods of all colors and models on the road

We recently returned from our second trip to the northeast. The first was from the end of June until early July and the second was the end of July until the middle of August. We did not see any other R-Pods. I was a little disappointed. However, we did get to give tours of ours a few times.

Time is flying, just 3 weeks until we head down to the Great State of North Carolina for a annual fishing trip. Headed to the outer banks for 5 weeks of fishing! We have usually seen 3-5 pods on our trips south!

We had a Hood River Edition Rpod in the campground we stayed for a few days before Labor Day. We had a quick chat to find out they just got theirs in July. New York Encon  campground at Lake Harris in Newcomb, NY.

I've only seen one other Pod besides mine since August 2012 in my 4 years of ownership. It was an older 171 at a campground in East Burke VT during a September mountain biking trip. I didn't talk to the owner/s there was no one at their site at the time.

 I have only traveled from Connecticut to Northern VT for my outings, so my exposure is limited, but it is strange I don't see others on my trips.

 I think the reason I don't see other Pods is because my trips are all MTB related and I don't go to large commercial campgrounds. I only hit the state parks and small no hookup tenting campgrounds that allow small travel trailers.

 I see 3 T@B trailers several times a year though. I have three riding friends in different states who own them. They are VERY light and easy to push around by hand after unhitching. A little jealous of that, but the Pod has large tanks and a bathroom and shower, huge plus.
