Well bad news, the 179 we were going to look at got sold (at 13k fully loaded I am not surprised) but we still have yet to see a 179 in person.
We did go look at the hummingbird 17rk to try to get a feel for size and floor room and what not. So now we are just waiting for the 17 to come in I guess. |

Welcome. You may find you shower in the pod more often, I feel it is easier and quicker to use the shower that is right there.

They only have 4 in stock, only one 179 (a 2016) and it's listed for 2 g's over the one I am going to look out tomorrow, but thanks for the heads up. |

Very warm welcome is much appreciated.
So I saw on another thread about the Jayco Hummingbird. I looked it up and though I really like the powered awning and the off road "baja package" I am still leaning towards the Pod. I did some research on Jayco in general and they seem to have some real quality issues. I mean like tons of bad reviews and "strongly worded" warnings. Plus it's a 2017 and several thousand higher than the 2016 Pod we are going to look at tomorrow. I have read some of the QC issues here on the pods but nothing like what I found in 10 minutes of searching for Jayco reviews. Here's our tow vehicle ... Just kidding this is.
