Or just use the head in the pod as it was designed.

I am at the stage in life where I need to go at 2AM (sometimes 3). No rules in our Pod. We use it when and how it works for us. That is why we bought it.

The bathroom is tiny for me....but I did manage to "comfortably" squeeze in and had just enough room to use the shower this past weekend while camping....from a former tent camper...having a shower is an AMAZING change for us lol. We really use the toilet for emergency use only; primarily for my wife and son....it’s nice to have it even with our strict #1 only rule, less those emergency situations.

I agree about swapping the table and bed.

They announced the slide-out models the week after we picked up our 171. The fate of being an early adopter.  |
I have an even earlier 171 Custom ordered from Forest River with the white Cabinets. We bought off the plans never seen a 171 before we took delivery. I'm glad not to have the slide but we spend most of the time outside anyway. Sometimes wished the bed was up front and they had the table in the rear (Like the MPG Models did) but its great for the 2 of us.

Considering it! Add it to "the list". Might come after we get our kitchen done in the house - which hasn't started yet.

It wouldn't be too hard - not easy, but not hard. Move the shower plumbing to the level of the toilet seat, move the wall switch for the porch light lower, move the light switch for the bathroom light and thermostat. Then cut all three walls just above the toilet seat and pull everything out above the line. Some finish work on the raw edges, run a shower curtain track all the way around and mount a hook from the ceiling for the shower head. Easy.  |
