Something a bit larger

LOL.. "I can't even make a collie stay.."

Oh, and I am thinking of changing my handle to furpod²..... 

based on volume, the Lance is almost exactly twice the size of furpod..  and about 75% of the Airstream. Or... "just right"

I like the NASH 17K, 22'4" , dry wt 4320, cap, W-50, G-35,B-36. Dual axle, heated enclosed tanks. Pus a side compartment ready for a 2.5 KW Onan propane Gen (they change out the A/C to 1100, with the gen option). a full Queen Bed open on 1 side and foot,  around 23 - 24 K

Originally posted by StephenH The thing that would also help me to move to a Lance eventually is the 4 season package. It would also have to wait until we got a vehicle with a higher tow rating as I would want one with the walk-around bed. Until then, I am very happy with our RP-179, especially with my modifications.

Yes, the N/S bed is something we are looking forward to, though I haven't ever felt the E/W bed in the pod was that big of an issue. We for sure like the 4 seasons aspect, as early/late season is our favorite time of year to be in the woods. Something I didn't know, the "fireplace" in an RV, or at least in this one, can be visual, OR it can be a 1500watt heater that's pleasant to look at and not in the middle of the floor.. which is what we use in the pod most of the time anyways if we have hookups.

Originally posted by jato Most impressive Mark!  You have now entered the "GLAMPING world."  I am looking at all the extras this thing has that our 177 does NOT like: A/C, television, entertainment system, microwave, convection oven, power jack, dry bath, an extra 9 feet length and nearly 2 feet wider, and the list could go on and on.  Hope you stay around on this site, a lot of us depend on your 'expertise' with our lowly pods.  Have a great winter; ours just started last weekend as we got our first snow.  A town about 20 miles SE of us (Kalkaska) got just over 10 inches.  They are off to a great start.

Well.. not sure how it moves us to glamping.. since we started with an Airstream.. maybe.. "back to glamping"?  LOL.

We really wanted just a bit more room so Sue can work from the camper, allowing us to "go out" for longer.. saving vacation days. We have done it a few times with the pod, and it's OK, unless we get a run of bad weather, then the pod gets cramped and the occupants get irritable..

The numbers work out that we get 50% more floor space, and nearly double the volume of space. WE really wanted to go with the 1995 after seeing one in person, BUT.. It has the smallest shower of ANY camper I have ever seen. If we didn't use ours everyday, I guess it might be workable. And a mod can be done to get a little more room by moving the curtain out a couple inches, but.. it would always feel pretty tight I think.

WE are hoping for a good winter.. we JUST lit the stove for the first time yesterday, usually we have burned a rick by now.. last weekend you couldn't find ice at any convenience stores because the hunters had bought it all to cool deer..
