 After reading the posts about the Winter Campout in Pennsylvania, and how much everyone enjoyedmeeting the other owners, I thought a list of owners and friends in the North and Central Florida area could result in a similar get together. I'll start with some information I already know, and edit / up-date this entry as you log in.

We are snowbirds from New York. We have a place in Fort Myers, but we love the Florida state parks so much that we use our RPod to travel around the state. We sold our big camper trailer thinking that we would be weekend travelers and maybe a week in Key Largo where we are now. Our plans were altered this winter when my husband learned that he had prostate cancer. So now, we are going to be up in the Jacksonville area, living out of our RPod for two months while he receives proton therapy. We also were able to keep our original plans of going to New Orleans for a week in February to see our daughter run in a half marathon. So this little Rpod is going to get a lot of use!!! ------------- Paige and Pete 2010 177 - RPug 2012 Rav (six cylinder) New York & Florida residents

Please add us to Fla. Podders.
We be trailer trash.  We have single wide in Sebastian Fl. (wheels removed) where we are in the winter Oct.- May. North Carolina, Raccoon Holler-Glendale Springs, summer May-Oct, where we have Mountain Cabin Jayco trailer (4 wheels on ground). Both locations are base camps where we venture out in the Pod (2 wheels) to explore surrounds, Fl. & NC. and points in between. Wheels on ground= 10 counting TV, as you can see I count things that require to much attention, thats how we started this RV thing- counted spark plugs, sold everything, downsized bought an RV and hit the road never looked back. Thanks for reading, Dan(ps) a pod group stayed at CG in Racoon Holler summer 2013, I did not make contact with anyone, did not have R pod then.

Hi this is Jula1961, my name is Julia and I have an Rpod 173. I live in Jacksonville, and am wanting to be active on the list in Jacksonville for possible get together s locally or not to far away. Wondered where you were camping in Jax. as i am a native. My first trip scheduled so far is down to the Swannee Park in May with my sister and her husband. they have a 27 foot camper and camp there often. My husband does professional shooting matches on the weekends and I am doing the camping :). Hope all goes well with the proton therapy. Hoping to meet new friends.

Welcome! That is a beautiful doll house, perhaps the biggest I have ever seen. You are not far from us in Fort Myers. We haven't left this forum even though we no longer have a r-pod which we sold after 5 years of enjoying it. Our new camper a Vibe which is a little like the r-pods has been great so far for us. If you need or would like to have a Equalizer 4,000 lb. 4 point sway control weight distributing hitch we may have one to sell in 2 weeks. Maybe my wife and I will meet you some time camping in the area.

It was nice meeting you as well. Our trip on up to Mistletoe GA was great…what a beautiful campground. Our last stop was Fort McAllister. We were very disappointed in this park, didn't even unhook and decided to head on home. Maybe will will run into you again sometime…I know will will return to Hunting Island! ------------- Tweeners |

Dana & Regina here, from Middleburg, FL near Jacksonville (we like to call it Middle Earth). We're on our maiden voyage with our new 2014 181-G, currently camping at Lake Louisa State Park in Cleremont, FL. We down sized from a 27' Forest River Salem, and haven't regretted it yet. Being a big guy (6'2") I probably won't be taking too many showers in the "bathroom", but that's not an issue with me. So far I love the garage in back since I do all of the dishes. Great to make morning coffee back there too since Regina likes to sleep much later than I do. I'm using the same Blue Ox weight distribution hitch that we bought for the 27' Salem which is probably overkill, but it tows like a dream. It had 1,000 spring bars, but I replaced those with 550lb bars. Heading down to Marco Island for a few days to see our daughter and her familly who are vacationing there. ------------- Dana & Regina Fleetwood & Jasper 2014 181-G 2014 Silverado 4X4 |

Anyone up for organizing such a venture ?. Thanks, happy , safe travels R Podders |

Bob and Kari Paton, Titusville, FL. We originally owned a 2010 173 and later moved up to a 2014 178. We are both retired and travel with our two small dogs. This thread was originally started to create a list of pod owners in Florida. Since its inception in 2013, I have not been able to locate the list. Am I missing something?
