    I'm thrilled to find this forum. As a new owner of a 202 192 I'm sure I'll have questions. Our interest in a travel trailer began with the need for a bug out. We live high in Oregon's southern Cascade  mountain range, surrounded by forest.  My wife researched travel trailers and determined that the R pod 192 was a good fit, also that there was a Forest River assembly plant in Oregon. We immediately planned some short trips and a few not so short.  Then the proverbial light bulb lit up. I write full time and my wife creates book covers and late out( has been for 40 years). So we're preparing to do book tours and our R pod 192 trips become a write offs.

	Congratulations and welcome to your new 24/7 owners manual right here! As you travel this grand country may you make many great memories in that 192. A good friend of ours lived in Bend for about 15 years - what a beautiful area that is, as is the whole of the Cascades. You live in a beautiful part of this country.

	My I asked what rv dealer you purchased your r pod from? Mine 192 recently came from Sutton RV in Eugene.

	We got our 192 from Fun Time RV up in Tualatin. We live in the cascades mountains at 4,500 feet and are expecting snow this morning. Tomorrow we are headed to a mountain lake, 5,000 feet, again rain or snow. It's kind of a shake down trip. Next week off to the coast. We plan on leaving the snow behind this winter and head to death valley.

	Hello out there. I have the EAZ LIFT 3 stabilizer bars. Do I lock them in alignment with my truck for towing down the road or leave them loose to move?

	I just got back from an over night by a mountain lake. This was a shake down trip, and all went super. I'm 6 feet and my wife is five feet eleven we had no problem moving around without banging into each other. This was dry camping, I guess. No Water or power outside of what the trailer provided. I was pleased with how fast the solar recharged the battery, though to level it out one tire was an inch on the ground which called for special blocks.

	Congratulation! on the new trailer. What type of solar panels are on your pod? Are you interested in the rpod alley in August on the Oregon coast? We have a northwest Rpod rally we have been attending for the last couple of years. A good group of people from all over the west with different rpods. You should try to attend. Did i see some attachments with kayaks earlier? It's going to be at the resort in Pacific City. They have reserved bout 50 sites. Currently we have rescheduled the event for August 26-28th, 2021. The location has not changed. We hope to send a group email very shortly with more details.
