in the POD - welcome aboard!


Dining table set up in the cab area. 
Seats swivel to accommodate.

We are actually DONE ..... and boy does it seem strange to not have lists upon lists of things to do every single day! It has been an arduous, but enjoyable, 10 month process. Countless hours, a whole lot of learning, lots of experimenting and lots of doing over, and over, again. And we did it without killing each other in the process and are still looking forward to spending extended amounts of time in @ 190 sq ft together!

POD 3.0 comes in at 25' (plus an additional 1' for the bike rack/bikes) and 9,000 lbs fully loaded. 

Here she is...........


Looking from the cab to the back of the van. 
Seven storage units above, 9 drawers in kitchen, 4 deep under-bed drawers in the bedroom and one closet. 


*

Kitchen has expandable counter, convection oven, both regular and filtered water taps, 
and a induction cooktop as well as a propane burner stored in the bottom drawers.

*


Behind those doors is the bathroom - toilet and recirculating shower. 
Refrigerator and additional counter round out the kitchen area.

*

Bedroom. 
Beds can convert to a full bed or we can add a 1/2 bed in the middle for Rosie.
Dining table can also be set up back here.

*

Cozy sitting, reading, and sleeping spot with custom made bed sacks and wall storage with charging station. Also personal reading lamps and fans.

We have a few short term (3-4 day) outings booked over the next month. Horseneck Beach, Nickerson State Park, Salisbury Beach and Wells State Park will allow us some off-grid time to work out any issues before we head into longer treks. 

Of course, there are still a few things to finish up. But, right now, they are just details. We're sure that once we spend more time in it we will want to modify and change a few things - we'll have to see how she behaves in day to day living. 


Looking back to the front which has over cab storage. 
For travel the portable table top is stored on top of the 2 person jump seat.
It can also be used in this position at bar height.

Nothing but the road ahead!
Happy trails!
