This is the model that will work best as it will not have the springs:

Vinyl lettering for pod names
I finally got around to putting a name on the pod. I ordered the letters from “Do it yourself lettering.com”. There are quite a few web sites that can make the decals but this one made it very easy to look at different lettering options and colors and it had the closest font that matched the R-pod font. I used the font called Moderna with black lettering and both the Bold and Italic boxes checked and 4" high. The new R-pods have a different font. I then added a border at 150% and the color I picked was yellow. Once I got it outside and next to the trailer I see I should have ordered the border color as Sunflower. I was trying to get it to match the r-pod colors. The other change I would have done is ordered the Reflective vinyl because it is thicker, the standard is 3 mil. I looked at some u-tube videos on how to install the letters and they were helpfull. I bent back ½ the backing paper and started squeegeeing the letters. I was so busy concentrating on trying to get the air bubbles I did not notice the backing paper was coming off before I wanted it to, when that happened it goes fast. I have a few air bubbles I will have to work on but I am happy with the results.

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

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 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 Paul |

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.

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)  |

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.
