Still waiting on our 179

Hello all.  We've been retired for 3 years and won't board our two small dogs.  As a result, we haven't done any significant traveling so we decided a travel trailer was the answer. 

After months and months of research we narrowed down the choice to a 178 or 177.  After looking at them we decided on a 178 then came across photos of the new 179.  That fit our needs much better so we put a deposit on one the dealer already had on order.  That was in late December and we're still anxiously awaiting its arrival. 

We're pretty much rookies.  I had an old Apache pop up back in the 80s (I paid $300 for it) but nothing like this.  I can only imagine all the things I'll learn the hard way.  It is nice to have this forum to read through for the many tips ... hopefully it will save me some embarrassment. 

Dave, Cindy and "the girls" 

Congrats on your upcoming 179

Welcome to the group!

Our girls are only slightly bigger and they always sleep with us.  One is a Schnauzer and the other is half Schnauzer.  One trait of the breed is separation anxiety so leaving them behind is out of the question.  Of course that isn't the ONLY reason we decided to travel this way.  I remember a lot of good times and meeting lots of great people when we had the old pop-up.  That doesn't happen at the Holiday Inn. 

(I'd post a photo of them if I could figure out how). 

Thanks.  I'll give that a try.  If it works, this is the "the girls" since I don't have a Pod picture to post yet.
