2/15/15 is a bittersweet day in the techntrek household. Our 171 rode down our driveway for the last time, and it wasn't following behind our TV. The good news is it was following behind member J's TV, who are upgrading from a 151, so they already have pod in their blood. I know they will enjoy it. It also means we can start working on our kitchen renovation. It has been a good 5 1/2 year journey, with lots of great memories literally all over the US, from Maine to Florida to New Mexico to Wyoming. It was the first R-pod in Maryland. Hopefully we'll see it around at a get-together. And yes, I'll still be around here.  ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

We are so torn on what to do.. The Airstream won't be missed when it sells.. But soon, the Camplite will get ordered.. and to keep, or sell furpod.. ?? ------------- |

Charlie, I thought about that but decided I'd keep the pod pic for now. Maybe I'll combine 2 pics into one long panorama so I can keep the old memory alive. Add it to my "list". ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Well Doug, you've beat me to it. I've still got a couple of years before I move to a longer (much longer) trailer... but its coming!
Congratulations on the sale! ------------- Craig :: 2009 RP171 towed by a 2017 F150 |

Thanks. We really thought our pod would last us to retirement, then we'd buy something bigger. As usual, kids altered that plan. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Congrats. Change is good as nothing last forever. Enjoy the Salem Mark Smith (fur pod) --- have you sold your Rpod yet and moved up to the camplite trailer yet?

We don't intend to sell the pod, we are going to (probably) sell the airstream, and then get the 21RBS.
