Topic: An open discussion about links to the other forum Posted: 22 Mar 2013 at 5:12pm |
As a now single woman, camping alone, I am new to this avenue of communication, so, don't quite know how or where to post my question, which is: I occupy (and thoroughly enjoy) my 176 at Gulf Shores AL 3 mos of the year, and, for the rest of the year, it is stored at the same campground. I've ordered a silver-coated tarp (35' x 30') for storage covering, plus a continuous 50' length of bungee cord for wrap-around securing. (I didn't want the metal hooked bungees for fear that one of them might abrade the fiberglass surface). My question is: By wrapping the entire camper in this manner, could I be impeding strategic air air flow to any of the openings... thus creating some kind of a moisture vacuum which might prove more injurious than any kind of unprotected covering??

Hello Winnie, Glad to know there is a pod camper on the Gulf coast. Wife and I live just down the trail in South Mississippi a few minutes from the coast. If you are ever ambling over to Louisiana, stop by. We have a mini campground with two full hookups in the back yard. About, the cover -- can't help. We keep ours in the barn we built for our Diesel Pusher. Talk about a tiny pea in the pod... Thnker & Mrs. Thinker

Winnie, it's my understanding that you are better off not putting anything on your rpod then putting on one of those silver tarps. I know someone with more information will chime in (hopefully), the tarps may cause mold and other types of problems because the fabric doesn't breathe. (Kinda what you said)
I'm the reverse, I try and camp about once a month during warm weather and only store Podterfly in the winter months. I have the Forest River cover, but the ones from Northern Tool look good too.
The forum is a GREAT source of info.
From one single woman to another (there's quite a few of us out there).
Enjoy Podding
Lee

A tarp would work well to block the sun but I agree with butterfly Lee the rpod needs to have ventilation. If you could use lines and stakes to pull the corners of the tarp out,that would shade the rpod but still allow the air to move around the sides of the trailer. That might work if you have the space.

Winnie I moved your for-sale post to the Flea Market section. Your second post (above) was blank.

In reading through this thread, there are a couple comments about differentiating from the other site. If you are thinking about a wiki, I'm the wiki developer for our site. I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but I can set up/admin a site, the database, semantic extensions, content, templates, queries, etc.

Worth a discussion. Maybe start a new thread to get everyone's input?
