Topic: New 171 owners Posted: 13 Oct 2012 at 12:41pm |
Hello everyone, We are proud owners of a 177...purchased it from Stoltzfus RVS in PA about two weeks ago...drove 4 hours to pick it up...so worth it
We camped in tents years ago but never in a camper...so this is all new to us. Love this site!
Can anyone tell us about using the cover...we have not purchased one yet and not sure we should.

Hi Carl's cats,,
Welcome to podding! Be aware that in many places, especially state parks, like in PA, you are considered the same as members of the canine ilk (oh the horror!) and thus your owners will be relegated to camp in the "pets" section and be charged an extra fee for the night. I have yet to bark, poop on the campsite driveway, or steal any campers steak off the grill, but still they insist on this policy. Just a warning. I find it maddening, but still the rules are the rules, and I am only a little guy!
Have fun in your new traveling home. Ask your people to fix up a nice shelf under one of the windows so you can watch the world go by when they are out there having a good time!
Dusty, the camping kitty.

Hi All, Kind of new at all this internet stuff. Not sure how to post, but thought I'd reply to this "thread" because I'm new. Just purchased 172 from Sutton. Pick up 10/26. Taking tour of factory. Spoke w/Susan quite a lot. Picked Sutton because the 4 other dealers in the pacific nw+w just told me to take it or leave it and did not have competitive pricing. Sutton is doing some custom mods (mostly electrical) that I gleaned from this forum. Will let all know how the Sutton things turns out when I finally take delivery next week, but I want to say this forum has saved me ~nkthousands of $$. Will keep all posted on how I do. obtw: Hood River. Still out on generator, solar system. Regards all, Robullelk

Welcome. You can start a new thread after you click into a sub-forum. Look for the "New Topic" button at the upper-left. Note that you do NOT need to enter a date when you start a new thread, that is just for events.

Robullelk, We also have a 172, no matter what model you will love it, go slow on the mods until you have used it a few times, some you will want, some are dependent upon use. No matter a bad day podding is better than a good day at work.
