Hi Everyone!
Just joined after purchasing our new rPod 177!  Have been working on some "mods" this weekend and will post pics soon!  Our first trip is May 25th when we will take the Pod with our 2008 Jeep Rubicon over to do some off-roading in Massachusetts.

Welcome to the group! Smile
 
I'd be interested in a "play by play" and (hopefully) some pictures too, in regards to the uphostering.  I have been thinking of doing something with my dinette seats and, in the process, recover/replace the fabric with a vinyl or leather product.  I think it would be easier to keep clean.

Wow, all of the upholstery needs to be replaced?  

Take a look around the mod section, several of us have posted pics and info on converting to curtains.  I had custom "blackout" curtains made and attached them using the existing header boxes by putting spring-loaded curtain rods inside.

Welcome!  Hope you enjoy your new "toy"!!  And please share pics when you get a minute.
We are newbies, too.  Just got ours the end of March (172).  It hasn't been out of the driveway yet but that has given us a chance to play around with it.  I baked brownies in the convection oven on the weekend - YUM!!  Figured I try it out before I really needed it so I'd know how it worked.  So, have fun fixing 'er up.  And yes, there's LOTS of info to be found here.  It's helped us out, too!
Cheers!

Hi all..
Cosmetic issues are inside for the most part. I'm re-upholstering all the cushions as well as all the fabric-covered trim. New curtains, too (the sound of mini blinds makes my teeth hurt!). A few scratches and dings on the outside..missing a plastic (slider?) piece on the screen, etc. Perfectly imperfect stuff that's easy to re-do! Thanks for the welcome.
