Just put a deposit on a 2016 model 179. Very excited and can't wait to use it. This is our first camper. We've been tent camping for 20+ years and finally decided to sleep comfortably. The places we enjoy going to have shore power, so I think it'll work great. We have two young kids and a very large dog, so the 179 should have plenty of space for everyone.
We got the 179 with the R-dome, power tongue jack and Equalizer tow package. We'll be using my 2014 Ford Raptor to tow it, so I don't think we'll have any issues going anywhere. Can't wait to hang out here and learn from everyone. |

Enjoy your new home away from home. Enjoy God's great outdoors, enjoy your family, and be prepared to give tours of your new 179. We have had our 177 for 5 years now and still usually end up giving at least 1 tour to a curious/interested camper who wants to see what's inside the pod.

Welcome. I lived in Eastern NC for about 11 years. We visit NC every year since I left. This summer will be our first trip in our Rpod 178. We purchased it last fall but haven't camped in it yet. Can't wait to go out this year.

Welcome!
We are in Chapel Hill and have owned our 173for 5 years. We love it and use it a lot on long distance, multi- week trips. there are several other podders around the area. There are a lot of good people on this forum, and a lot of great ideas and excellent help and information. Feel free to explore and ask questions-there are always a lot of opinions and answers, mostly based on real experiences. Where did you buy your pod? Vann

Wow nice choice on the floorplan but an even better choice on the TV.....a Raptor 150?....Nice I am envious, makes my 3.5 Ecoboost 2014/F150 seem rather "underpowered"....lol.....

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. We bought the Rpod at Country Roads RV in Lexington. There weren't many places in NC that had them and we wanted to buy from a local dealer, not a national chain. They were great. I was pleased with their service and their price.
We just booked site 69 loop 2 at Holly Point campgrounds at Falls Lake for my birthday on the weekend on April 2 & 3. Anyone in the area is welcome to join us. It's a tough time of year for me as a tax accountant. I need to take advantage of every minute of relaxation I can get. We off-road quite a bit, so I'm hoping the rpod can keep up. I need to find out if there are any off-road modifications that can be made. Here's a recent photo from an off-road run a bunch of us Raptor owners took to White Lake, NC. There were 21 of us and we had a blast!

My wife and I will look forward to seeing you there. We jut booked for site # 52, Loop 2 at the Holly Point campground at Falls Lake. We will be there when you arrive as we are booked for arriving the 1st and leaving on the 4th.
Perhaps this is the start of a "Down East" pod rally.  |
