We've had several weekend trips with our 181G this spring to try things out before going longer. In late May we spent 9 days out, going to French Creek State Park in Eastern Pennsylvania - a very nice park. We had no major problems either towing or camping, but did enjoy some popularity due to our pod. We've had people admiring it in parking lots, one guy motioned for attention at a traffic light to inquire about how much they cost and where to get one, a couple of bikers complimented it at a rest area, and other campers keep giving us the thumbs up when they drive by. Our youngest daughter keeps joking about leaving it to her in our will.
All in all, we love it. At first I was unsure about the 'garage', but now I wouldn't want to be without it. We can do most of our "kitchening" stuff out there where there's lots of room. Coffee pot, ice maker, toaster oven, dishwashing, etc.
