My friend and fellow RV'er was suggesting an acrylic mirror for reduced weight; not sure of the price though. 

I am planning on hanging a mirror on the outside of the bathroom door so it can reflect a little more light into the Pod (bathroom door is directly in front of the entrance door on the 152).

Since our computer died and had to replace it I have been using picresize.com, 3 easy steps and it's done. Upload the picture, I chose to reduce by 75 percent, it resizes and I save it to a file.
   I am like you tech stupid, so it took me some time to figure out where to send the picture to and how to find the file to put it on the forum.   Hope that this may help.   Goose

Just finished tonight our new table for our 171 still working on the counter for the sink and stove hopefully one or two days all will be finished. Someone once explained sizing pictures using there cell phone. I have a iPhone but never could post pictures always asked my niece to do it for me. I thought using my iPhone I might be able to figure it out. I am at the bottom of the scale when it comes to understanding technology. Would appreciate any help thank you.   David

Thinker:

Yes, I agree with you about the size of the table as well.  We have a 171 also.  We did move those nasty little peg inserts to the back side of the table instead of in the middle where they gouge out a hole in your pants or legs.

I'm thinking about taking our table out also and sizing just the top down about an inch or so all around. to give a little bit more room for us.  We are not over sized folks but like you, have noticed the close quarters.

I was in the NAVY and we had more room in the mess on the ships than in the POD for chow.

These PODs are fun to modify though and we have also done many mods.

Thanks for your comments.  I hope you can play poker or something in your barn with the POD table.

Goose our 2011 RP 172 has the folding metal legs on the dinette in the rear that makes a short queen, do the later models have a center post or what. I wonder If it is easy to convert, going to have to check up on that.

    As far as the table goes it is a whole lot more stable than the original folding leg models of the early PODS and I think a lot easier to set up and store for travel.
 
 
I guess we have the old style table with the folding legs.  Anyone have a link to the new style?

   I put ours on the outside of the door but I see that techntrek says that his is mounted on the inside.  It just depends what you believe will best suit your needs.    Goose

I've got a full size mirror to mount but just can't decide on which side of the bathroom door to mount it on. Pros and cons on either?
