Just purchased a 179 today!  So pleased to have the research behind us and looking forward to this new adventure.  Wanted to give a huge shout out and thanks for you folks being here as we navigated the world of light travel trailers.  This site help make the decision for us. 
Thank you!

Welcome! and Congratulations on your new 179, we have a 178 and love it! What part of the world are you from? Northern or Southern Hemisphere? I ask because we have a BIG TEXAS RALLY scheduled in the fall at the 2015 BIG TEXAS Rally! - R-pod Owners Forum - Page 1 maybe you can be there with all of us other PODDERS. Thumbs Up

Congrats - I just brought home my new 178. So far the only issue I have had was the nut on one of my propane tank straps decide to leave. Went to the hardware store and replaced with lock nuts. Looking forward to adventures ahead.

Bought a 2015 r-179 in Dec, Still at the Dealer had a topper put on over the slide out and had 2-30# tanks mounted that and the 2 6 volt batteries.  I'm ready to go as soon as the snow and ice leave the drive way.  In Mar I'll pick her up have a little week trail run to make sure everything works, then off to So Cal and AZ.  Will be towing with a 2006 Jeep Liberty 4X4 with tow package.  Live in west central Idaho.

Upon further inspection once I got home I found out I was missing my 12v battery.

Welcome to all of you.  FlyPod, that may be a blessing in disguise if they refuse to supply one to you.  Typically the dealers install the cheapest battery and often it isn't a deep cycle battery.  Get a true deep cycle battery.
