Welcome. I only carry 50 ft total of electric cord (25 original cord plus 25 ft 30 amp extension cord), and 15 ft of water hose, BUT these are things you can never have too much of. I've read of Canadian parks where the electric is a minimum of 75 feet away.

Wow! Glad I asked! I will definitely look at another water hose then.
We are very excited to pick it up! We had been looking at other "brands" of small campers but when we saw the R-Pod we knew it was THE ONE! Looking forward to all of the places we will discover and all of the fellow Podders we will meet along the way! Thanks for your help! |

I've carried and NEEDED up to 75ft+ at some weird campgrounds before. I typically carry 75' of water hose.
You will love the 178, congrats. I do believe the 178 will within another year will probably easily be the most popular model out there! And I think we carry the 15' Rhino....I've never needed more than that.

Oh yeah...how could I have forgotten the CHEESE!! And I am sure my husband would love the 18 year old single malt! Ha!
We purchased the 178. I have been looking at the Rhino sewer hose...what length do you guys suggest?? I purchased the longer power cord because I have noticed that several campsites say that you would need a 50 foot power cord. Does that mean that we would need a longer water hose as well? I don't know what length we are getting with the Pod. |

We picked our new R-Pod up a week ago. The first thing we bought was a new sewer hose. The kit one may have lasted a few uses, but didn't want to mess with it. Next, we bought a hanging organizer for by the door and a few hooks. We've been traveling (and living) in this for 8 days now. I still feel like I have to give it some more time before I go out and buy more stuff. Did I mention that I can pack very light? I did the same as you and have read this forum extensively. So much great information on here.

Welcome to the forum and podding. There are all kind of things you'll want to buy. An electric heater if you're expecting it to be cold. We've had our pod a year and every time I try the gas heater it stinks.
You'll also need a nice 18 year old single malt to celebrate your first night out. |

After the "more wine" I'd suggest a good holding tank discharge hose. If your starter kit is anything like
ours was, the hose included is pretty worthless. Oh yes, Welcome!
