Topic: 2015 r-pod 179 Posted: 09 Aug 2014 at 12:04am |
Just getting ready to drive to Iowa to pick my new 179 up.... leaving from Oregon. Been reading many of your post and decided to buy one... It will be a nice size for the two of us, wife and I. We sold our 5th wheel some time back due to the 7-8 miles per gallon... so were downsizing. It will be a welcome change. I plan to post a picture of new r-pod and truck very soon... thanks for all your help... Al

Welcome, you'll really like the 179. We also downsized from a 5th wheel. It took a little time to adjust to less space. We realized that we had a lot of stough in the 5th wheel that we didn't use and we aslo had duplicate items. We are very comfortable and glad we did it.

We bought our 2015 179 in April and just love it! My favorite is the rear kitchen...lots of prep space. Only one trip so far....had a leak issue so it is in "dry dock" waiting for repairs. It's too hot in Texas to camp in August anyway, so I'm being patient! BUT, checking in on in the forum for mods and cool places to go. Grand Canyon in the Spring.

I have also downsized from a 5th wheel...it was very comfortable BUT unable to get into many of the smaller campgrounds I love to camp in. Love the flexibility to pod will give me.
Happy travels!

My wife Lisa and I are new to rv-ing. We are both retired and plan on seeing a lot of the country so we bought a 179 last fall. Our first trip will be from western Massachusetts to Key Largo in April.
Can anyone give me some advice on safe travel speeds? Our route will take on Route 81 through Pennsylvania, Virginia and then Rt 77 over to I95 in Georgia. Trucks travel at 70MPH on Rt 81. I plan on going around 60 which i hope is not too slow and will give trucks and easy time to pass me. Is this a good speed? Generally, what sped is a good speed relative to the truck speed limit?
Also - if anyone has pointers on common mistakes for new comers, that would be helpful.
Thanks!
Paul
