many troublesome reviews

I had the sawdust, et al: left in cabinets, and still have the sawdust all over my counter every time we move it. Not that big a deal. Do i wish they had cleaned it up, yup, but its a one time event. The sawdust on my counter after every move, I can't for the life of me figure out why it hasn't run out yet. Again. big deal, we just add "wipe counter" to our list of set up things to do, takes 3 seconds. I also had a few mechanical issues, and a hose that leaked all the floor when i tried to use the black tank flush (it was clean water before it entered the tank) and you know what, my dealer couldn't have been more helpful and quickly took care of everything for free. I'd buy, and or go thru it all again without batting an eye. I think the most important part of the R.V. is the dealer that treats you good. So pay attention to the dealer review over the T.T. review.

Thank you for all the info.  We put a deposit on the 179. and will check it over thoroughly when we pick it up

I had a 171 and then bought a 179 having enjoyed the 171 so much and just needing a larger footprint. I'm greatly enjoying my 179 right now snowbirding in FL. R-Pods are a very good value exchange for the dollar IMO. Check out some of my 179 specific Youtube videos (link below). All the best. ~PP

I will add our experience with a second rpod. We started with a used 173 model in 2011 and traveled all over the country with it. We loved it. When we retired, we decided that we wanted more travels, so used the pod for extended trips of 3 months or more. We traveled from NC to NY, Fla, Michigan, Idaho and cross country to Washington, Oregon and California twice. Our longest trip was 11,000 miles and 3.5months. We recently decided that we wanted a little more room and sold the 173 and bought a 179. We look forward to the same great travel experiences with our new pod.
