We are getting ready to leave shortly to pick up our R-Pod. Big smile It is (according to the GPS) a little over an 11 hour drive. We will split that over two days. It will give us an opportunity to look around the area once we get there before we go to the factory on Wednesday.

It's in Elkhart, about 20 minutes from the factory.

The RV/MH Hall of Fame looks interesting. My wife is a little skeptical,
Well, we got as far as Jackson, Ohio. We got here only to realize that the I forgot something significant. I usually forget something, but I forgot to pack my CPAP machine. I apologized to my wife in advance. Ouch

We should get to Goshen by early afternoon. The Hampton is booked, so we will stay at the Comfort Inn in Elkhart as it is close enough and at a reasonable price.

We are home with our "New" 2016 RP-179 Custom! I need to sign up with a picture site, and then I will post some pictures.

Factory repairs: Excellent! I'll provide details later in a separate post once I get pictures to go with a description.

Thule Awning: This is what I have been wanting. It does not quite match as it is made for the blue/gray color scheme. However, it looks great and is simple to deploy/recover.

The work has already begun to get my mods back in place for our upcoming trip. Some of our mods were in while it was at the factory. I received some complements on them. I also gave some input on problem areas I have noticed and which have been discussed on the forum. Anyway, I have a lot to do in a short period, so that is all I will say about that for now.
