This is an R-Pod 101 video for those just getting started. Hopefully helpful to understand the basic process to setting up a site.

I like that you show chocking both sides of the tires, both sides of the pod. I've seen some real inventive setups. I've seen behind the tire on one side and infront of the tire on the other side. Behind tires, no matter which way it appears to tilt. I guess they feel campers can not lurch forward. The one thing I didn't see was the raising of old glory. No campsite is truley set up till the colors are unfurled.

Great video John, but I have to agree with mjlrpod, he got you on that one!  Yes, yes, set up the American flag, that is what we do after spending our six or seven minutes setting up our 177 (longer if the R-dome is put up).  Thanks for all the time you put forth in putting these videos together and then posting.

I went to move my rpod forward in the driveway about 2 feet. Chocked one wheel, and when the hitch disconnected the tongue of the trailer jumped a foot back and a foot sideways. And the TV wiggled some 8 inches forward and the opposite direction.

So I learned that lesson about blocking the wheels.

Good video! And good tip about the bike lock and surge protector. I'll use that one.
