Say. My better half & I were thinking about taking an R-Pod for camping. Just the two if us. I've been looking around, and I can't seem to find anyone that will rent an R-Pod. Looking around Pan Pacific RV (Morgan Hill), and Toscano (Los Banos), but they only do sales. R-Pods are not big; 18-20 feet or so, but we're not ready to shell out $15K - $20K for one yet. Would like to try before we buy.

Anyone have any leads?

Ditto that! We have an on-shore flow right now, and the temps are wonderful.

Have friends coming over later, and we intend to exercise the BBQ thoroughly.

X2 on the BBQ
Ribs, tri-tip and of course yardbirds. Not sure if "los peros caliente" aka hot dogs are joining the cast or not.
Either way Happy 4th my friends

Steak and bacon wrapped roast corn. Going to the third night of fireworks tonight. The local communities stagger them out.

The short answer is "No".

I don't think I've been in Livermore since I met you there.
