- A Go-Pod may be small but there's still a lot to look at. :)
Hopefully events will return next year and I'll get a chance to try it out for the purpose I bought it but in the meantime I'm getting to know it and am getting quicker at setting it up. It's all about routine.
I 'm not 100% sure about the Kampa CrossAir awning and am considering replacing it with a SheltaPod awning.
Shower must be heated in some way, love the Trangia kettle
When I'm using that shower I put hot water in the feeder bucket and it works well
On behalf of Pluto, thank you for remembering me.
Pluto is never going to be forgotten. It's a planet, it has a heart on its surface. How could we forget :)
I love it it looks sooo cooool!!!
Thanks, I'm really enjoying using the Go-Pod. Such an easy tow
I really enjoyed watching your video, getting a go-pod was on my wife’s and my bucket list for retirement. Unfortunately I have been bereaved, I lost my wife very recently. Watching your video as made me more determined to get a go-pod and do some of the trips we talked about together. I have measured our garage, and storage is not an issue. Thevonly concern is the pop-up.
I’m 5 foot 11. Do you think it’s suitable?
So sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to you. So glad you are determinded to hang onto your dreams though. May you live life for two.
As to your question, in the pop up section the headroom should be fine but you have to be careful from going to the pop-up to the rest of the pod. Even I, at 5'5", bang my head.
However, many 6 footers enjoying having a Go-Pod.
The advantage the Go-Pod has is it's really easy to tow, you don't need wing mirror extensions , you can take it pretty much anywhere and it's really cute.
It's small but perfectly formed but I'd strongely advise getting inside one before you buy.
There are other small caravans and trailer tents out there. I may be a comparison video about them.
@@talksandtales5824 yes I definitely need to have a good look around before I buy. I’m thinking of 2022 in February or March there are often caravan show. I think I might go to one of those shows have a good look around. Then take advantage of a show deal. If one is on offer, they usually are.
@@andyparker3162 That sounds liek a great idea :). Make a list of the caravans you want to see as those shows are (were) huge and can be overwhelming
Thanks, a tour de force.
Glad you liked it. I'm making changes how I set the pod up so I'm likely to make another video about that soon. :)
Hi, would you mind letting me know which awning this is? I know several options are available for the Go Pod.
It's the Kampa Airbeam.
It's actually pretty easy to put up on your own once you've worked out how to peg it
Packing it away and storing it is more of a challenge though.
It definitely needs limpets to attach it to the side of the pod.
Since filming this I've used it with the groundsheet and that made it pretty much as robust as a tent.
If you're looking at awnings definitely check out the Sheltapod. I'm very tempted to change to that.
shower cooking and heating - you had me there - may be a bit draughty in the awning but pop a heater in there and relax........potentially all year round get away whats not to like?
There is heating in the Pod itself. I've also got better at putting the awning up and adding the groundsheet makes an enormous difference.
Indeed I do like it very much :)
What do you do in a cold winter night when the wolves are roaming around? Have you got a WC and heating system?
Yes, there's an air blown heating system that is temperature controlled and can either by powered by the electrics or the gas
There are no wolves left in UK.
I like it 💖😊💖
Thanks. i think it's super cute
hi this is great , was wondering how much for one like yours .x
Thanks. New it's about £15000 because it has a motormover.
Awesome thanks! Is it true currently not available in USA market?? 😬 Please share if I'm incorrect
There was talk pre-Covid about a US distributor however now this seems to be the stance www.go-pods.co.uk/go-pods-usa.html
no toilet???
It comes with a portapotti but I don't use it. I usually park at places with fascilities & have a Bivvy loo
last thing you need is a t.v
I have to say I often don't take it as I need the space more
What's that flag for
Fun. I like flags and lights when I'm podding.
Nice 😊
Thanks :)
Wished they sold these in the U.S.
You can get them shipped www.go-pods.co.uk/go-pods-usa.html
TAB might be available too.
Heating! The flat has no hold on you now
I know. I thnk it's jealously
We bought ours last March . Used once in snowy Peak District but it was warm . Your video cheers me up . Come on the vaccine ! Best wishes .
It's all starting to open up. I hope you're getting to enjoy it now. I'm off again next week.
"Gecko Pod"
It's got even more now. I saw the decals and just couldn't resist. Who doesn't love geckos :)
Fab, just found your video as we are looking for a pod.....thought you were at LFest at first when we saw your flag!
So glad you liked it. If you are serious about getting a Pod then there's a good facebook group. I like flags and I like colour so I went for a rainbow flag :)
The e pro camper is super small
The smallest I've seen of that range is much bigger than this though and has an outside kitchen. I don't fancy an outside kitchen in the UK. We're a bit too wet and windy.
No point if you need to have an awning
no toilet either
compete waste of time
Most caravans have awnings, it's completely useable without the awning.
It does have a portapotti (although I use the bivvyloo more).
It may not suit you but it's worked very well for me & I would have had issues with a larger caravan.
What hell i didnt write that comment never seen this bid before... Am confused
@@TheTimbo07 I don't know what to tell you, it appears to have come from your account. Could someone else have written it?
Im searching for a more annoying voice - i may be some time.
Sounds like sue perkins.
Ooh, Sue Perkins. I like her
