The blue was fading to fast?/ I think They only ran the blue roof 1 time. I think in September/October of 2016 was the only time the  blue roofs were made. I guess the west coast edition was grey roofed from the start, and the pods built in Indiana were blue. I guess they said people didnt like the blue roof as much atleast that is what i was told by the dealer. But who knows what really happens

The blue roof had only one production run before changing to the grey.  But both east and west PODS were done with blue roofs.  There are actually photos taken in June 2016 at the west coast plant through a chain link fence that let us know there was going to be a switch to blue/blue.  I don't think in the span of a couple of months they would change it due to peoples preference.  In fact there were many posts on this board at the time that they did not like the switch the blue at all, not just the blue roof.  Also there was not enough time to actually see fading.  Perhaps they had it under a simulator and the projected lifetime was shorter for the blue than the grey roof.  In any case, I doubt anyone with a blue roof has to worry about fading.  Regardless of color it would be a good idea to cover your POD if it will sit idle in the sun for a long time or acid rain/snow

Hello everybody! We bought our R-Pod 183 G in July of 2016.  We absolutely love it!  We like to explore and dry camp a lot.  Don't care for the elbow to elbow RV park stuff but would do it for gatherings of like-minded R-Pod owners.  Would like to share photos and Ideas about others R-Pod adventures.  Anyone taken one to Alaska?

Thanks! Always good to meet a fellow Pod owner especially one that lives so near. Even though we have different models if you ever want to compare notes on the Pods with mods and such feel free to drop me a PM.

I got this today as well.  If the site is slow and you hit the post button a second time that warning comes up.  In my case my post came up in a few seconds.
