We visited a dealer a week or so ago and looked at the rPod, a KZ Spree and a Lance. The Lance was ruled out as it was just in a different price class. The Spree had lower ceilings than I like (I'm 6'3"). We LOVED the rPod. Now it's just a matter of finding the right one on the used market. We figure we are a year or so off.
We went to Glacier as well on the same road trip. Saw 2 bears and was able to rid my bike down the pass- which was a blast though a bit scary at the top! This year we will be doing another road trip: Tetons, Sawtooths, Oregon/N. California coast, Redwoods, and then back through Moab or Arches! |

After a few years of tent camping we moved up to pop-ups. Rockwood 1982-1992 and then a Jayco 6 sleeper 1993-2010, when our youngest went to Afghanistan and we found ourselves 'empty nesters' we looked long and hard at what was available. It was hands down with the R-Pod. We have thoroughly enjoyed ours. We normally dry camp. Probably our favorite so far was Glacier for a couple weeks back in Sept. '11 followed by the Smokies in Sept. of '12. We have done some colder camping closer to home in Northern MI in April and November when it is near snow-like conditions, but 'no worries' as the pod stays toasty warm inside. Hopefully you will arrive at the same decision with the R-Pod.

When my parents took us around the US in '86 Yellowstone was my favorite stop of the whole trip - even though we woke up on July 4th in the park with snow on the camper, no heat, and only short sleeve clothes since we are used to 98 F in July on the East Coast. Can't wait to show my family probably summer a year from now.

We stayed in our tent setup at the Madison campground last year for 3 nights. Was a good experience. We also love, Love, LOVE the Canyon area! Even though it's a hike down, it's SO worth walking to see the brink of the upper falls. Just remember: it's not the hike down that get's you, it's coming back up!
One of the reasons we are looking at a trailer is that it seems it would be so much easier to stay in one area and thoroughly explore it and then move on to the next area and do the same. We like to take our bicycles with us as well to make for more fun! At any rate: Yellowstone should be on everyone's short list of must visit places to visit. And thanks all for the warm welcome! |

Welcome! We're new here too and are soon-to-be pod owners. Yellowstone is on our list of places to visit - pictures I have seen of it are just beautiful!

Welcome. We sure enjoy ours when we are able to get out.
It beats the h_ll out sleeping on the ground cause for some reason this body just is not as soft as it once was. Goose
