Congratz Wildflowerz! I don't know how you managed to squeeze all of you into your pod. certainly sounds like you were ready for an upsize.

	I got the full tour at the winter campout this weekend, definitely enough room for 2 people and 3 large dogs in their new camper.

	Congratulations. Looks like a nice RV, especially with three dogs. Our golden somehow manages to take up all the floor space in our 177.

	Sorry about that. A little too fast on the trigger. Well, all I said still holds. You do us all an invaluable service. If I didn't know better, that last answer on the LP tanks could not have been written more completely than if a tech in the LP field had written it. I do remember now that I read you were going to do some remodeling at the house. Nothing like making an investment in the house. Will only enhance its value and you get to enjoy the enhancements. Safe Travels.

	Wow! Three sizable camping buddies! No wonder the R-Pod became a tad cramped! We agree with everything you said about the R-Pod being a great catalyst for getting out and enjoying the camping, (RV-ing) experience. We never would have believed how great it is to leave our responsibilities behind for a day or two. We and the Campin' Cocker Spaniels are quite content in our 177, and we hope you and your pups are happy, comfortable and safe in your new camper!

	Congrats on your new purchase. I hope that you remain a contributor to the forum. Your insight and knowledge have been beyond measure. I can't begin to thank you enough for your help with my questions, as well as others concerns. Best of luck in the new camper. I think once you got that Suburban the die was cast. In any event I hope to see you out here continuing to contribute. Safe Travels.

	Last Wednesday we traded in our rPod 171 for a Keystone Passport 252 BH. I thoroughly loved the r-pod and was second guessing the trade in the entire time I was cleaning it out. Once we moved everything over to the Passport I knew we had me the right choice and the sadness drifted away. The 252 BH wasn't my favorite layout, I prefer the entertainment center hiding the bed and the angled kitchen sink. We spent several hours walking between the prettier one and the practical one, spending LOTS time in each. In the end the practical one had more counter space, was easier to maneuver around the bed, the tub/shower wouldn't kill dh's elbows and the dogs would have their own room in the back. (We had also spent several days going to every RV sales center within an hour and a half of us.) When we brought it home the dogs were beyond excited. The shepherd was running from the bed to the back couch, the big old pit could maneuver the steps, and the golden thought we were headed out again. We would never trade our experiences in the r-pod. It was the perfect way to learn about rv-ing and it got us out on the road sooner than we had been planning. We had three great trips that never would have happened if we had waited until spring like we had planned. We will miss the sweet little pod but are excited to have a bit more space.
