There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

A dry weight of 515 lbs and tongue weight of 55 lbs. That is on the smallest trailer with no cargo. Both tongue and dry weight exceeds the Spyders towing specs.

The only thing on this Planet that is truly "Bear-proof"; is another, MUCH larger bear! :yikes:
There are other trailers available, that don't push the limits of the Spyder: please shop for one of them!
Happy Hunting! :thumbup:

Bob, by time "Yogi" got through chewing all the fiber glass he wouldn't have any teeth or claws to harm you with. After all that give em a couple pieces
of bacon to soothe the sore gums and scurry to the woods he'd go.

A mean-spirited Grizzly (Is there any other type?) would stand a better chance of getting some snack-sized cubs away from a Mama Bear! nojoke

Sorry my link does not work. Go near the upper right corner of the screen above where it says "Advanced Search" and type in Mypod and hit enter for just a few of the threads discussing the My Pod trailer here.
Personally, I never got the allure of a tiny teardrop type trailer. They are cute but all you have room for inside is to crawl in the door and lay down on the bed. No cooking/dining/entertainment table and chairs, no room to stand up and get dressed, just a tiny bed in a heavy package.
I like our pop-up. It starts out at about 300 lbs., has a king-size bed and a separate living room/kitchen/dressing room that has a ceiling as high as I can reach. When it rained on our last trip to the beach we sat in inside on chairs at the table and read, surfed on the computer, operated HF Amateur Radio or could lay on the bed as we wished.
On our last trip we camped in the Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia where there are bears, they had one in the campground a couple of days before we got there. We weren't the only canvas there and there were no warnings about the bears ripping into campers. Might be different out west?
The My Pod is certainly cute. Do you want cute or useful? Vanity or comfort?

:agree: Couldn't agree more. I love the room in our Bunkhouse, love having an awning to sit under in the rain, and if blowing rain we move the chairs inside. We have never gotten wet inside, even is 12 of 14 days of rain on our Nova Scotia trip. For the 10 min difference in set up time, I will take the room of the Bunkhouse any day.
