Keith hit the nail on the head. Donna wants a walk around bed, we have talked about getting something different but its not that big of a deal. Yeah the Pod bath is tight, but I have used the shower several times and I have NEVER gotten lost in there. We use the camp ground showers if they are clean, but sometimes if its late and we came back from a live concert and its chilly, look out, I going to hit the hot shower and then some Andy Griffith DVD's and then its lights out.

You either get used to it or not.  If it is the best shower available we use ours.  The toilet is used for convenience in the middle of the night.  For us it works well.  Some decide to move up to a camper with a dry bath.  Our biggest dissatisfier is not being able to walk around the bed.  If anything makes us switch campers that will be it.

My wife declared that she would NOT be using the shower in our 178. And the toilet ONLY at night. Until the first camping trip happened....

Welcome GeorgiaPeach.
We purchased a 179 memorial weekend from petes RV in Schererville IN for $13,990 base price. It was fun road tripping up there to pick it up. Give Scott a call. Petesrv.com. I live our SeaPod. The small bathroom concerned me at first, but decided that we wouldn't be doing a whole lot if boondocking, so it would probably only get used in the middle of the night. Love the storage. Have fun!

Thank you for the warm welcome!  We found out today that the woman who looked at our Aliner last weekend is going to buy it!  She's going to pick it up Monday.  Once that happens, we'll start seriously searching for the best deal.  We have a dealer in Marietta, GA, but I've also been in contact with Couch's RV and have gotten a good quote.  I'd rather deal locally, so we're going to try and see if our dealer will come close to matching Couch's price.  Right now, they're about $3000 or so apart, not taking shipping into consideration.

  Welcome from steamy Florida! Hope you are able to sell your Aliner soon and be able to buy the r-pod 179 the camper you want. It's a very popular model Forest River is having no problem selling them.
