Sorry, shoe nook on 179 is to the left of the linen closet drawers.  Cut open dead space after taking plywood lid off bed, inserted a plywood bulkhead in front of wire chase and have 15 inch deep shoe nook.
Used auto door edge plastic trim in 1/8" plywood to look more finished.

Enjoy the stuff/mods you guys have done, I'm probably being redundant.
Have had our 179 for 4 months and did a nice 4,200. mile trip to Apostle Islands and back from south Texas and only had a few little problems, mostly due to ignorance being old pop up and tent campers.
Added a shoe nook in dead space in front of linen drawers and a shelf for my tea glass under TV.

In the following link you'll find a write-up of an install of 200W fixed solar panels for an R-Pod 178. It may not be universal across all R-Pods, but will give you a sense of how to do your own. I've also tried to cover the various controversies and real-world aspects of doing fixed solar.

Enjoy.

(Below is an example of the finished product. The write-up has several more)

Another site I looked at is “Custom Vinyl Lettering.net”. They were also easy to try out different fonts. They have quite a few font choices only I did not find a font that looked like the rpod on my trailer.

Very nice job, I like the lettering and the theme.

Might have to try that in ours, 2 Krogs in a Pod or just the user name, KrogPod

No, the vinyl letters have to go on a hard surface. You could do a silk screen or iron on if it could handle the temperature.

Very nice, thanks for the information. Wonder would that work on the spare tire cover?
