Hi Everyone .
We are newbie RPodders since March . This weekend is our fifth camping trip so far and we love it !
We rented a Class C a few years ago for a special trip . The Wife liked it and decided that she would like to try it out for real .

It took a few years but in March she decided that We wanted to go to the RV show at the DCU Center in Worcester,Ma .
We walked around the show at least three times without finding anything of interest and decided to leave , somewhat disappointed with the choices and prices .
On the last row on the way out , right by the exit , She found "THE ONE " she wanted . A "2015 RPOD 178" .

Dufour's RV was great . We got the show price and more . A week later we picked it up .

After digging our 2005 Magnum out from three feet of snow we went for our walk thru . During the walk , thru they installed the hitch and brake controller and after 2 or 3 hours we were on our way as proud owners of our first ever RV .
We have dubbed our rig the " MagPod "

The Owners Group has been a wealth of ideas and info . I've already done alot of the mods . Two lp tanks, two batteries , tube storage,etc,etc . I'll post some pics later .
There have been a couple little hiccups but nothing that hasn't been fixed .

Our longest trip was 1100 miles to and from Ohiopyle State Park in Pennsylvania. No issues and a very nice enjoyable trip .
Today we are at Pine Acres CG in Oakham,Ma. ( nice place , gets high marks from us )

We are sitting here relaxing in the Rdome . We have read a lot of reviews but the Rdome is a fantastic addition .

We are waiting for another Newbie RPodder to arrive today . They just picked theirs up this past Wednesday and will be on their maiden voyage .

On our first trip we were happily surprised to meet another RPodder .

We can't wait for our future adventures . We have 5 more weekends booked this year .

Thanks again for all the grateful ideas and information .
Happy Podding !
