Newest addition

Greetings from the North East; where if you don't like the weather, wait a few days and it'll change. Here's proof: July 9, 2016 it was 62° and July 13th, 2016 it's 94°...not to mention that 12/25/15 it was 65° ;-)
Anyway, at this time tomorrow night, we will be the proud owners of a new-to-us 2015, 178! So very excited to be able to begin this new chapter. "Shelly" the escape-Pod is going to be ready for our Northern New England states tour, next week. Any advice?

Buy a three-quarter inch socket and drill adapter to use on the stabilizer Jacks. The hand tightening wrench well make you sweat

I second that on the 3/4" socket and driver. If you have a Harbor Freight near you, check to see if you can get them there. It will be less expensive than ordering one specifically made for the purpose.

We here the socket for the stabilizer jacks loud and clear.... we had cranks on our now no longer ours pop-up.... And I sweated more then once while setting up....

The R-pod will hopefully go far quicker then the pop-up ever did....

I actually looked at the socket the dealer sells for this, and it was pretty short money... less the 10$, and along with a tongue wheel will probably be purchased when we pick the unit up....

Yes I have read the posts about tongue wheels... But as a life long trailer boat owner, I have dealt with using wheels on the tongue of trailers plenty...and when you have level ground and need to ease a trailer into place, they are wonderful.

With All that said I have a question, I forgot to measure the door height for the pass through storage area... it would be nice to know, with out having to run back to the dealership, so we can see if some slim totes from our pop up with be usable in the space... Does someone have that dimension? Thanks in advance.....

Congratulations on your new POD! We have had our 179 for a month now, and as full-timers, we are very happy with it. We had a Teardrop before, so we love the additional space! Where in MA do you live? When we began our travels April of last year, we left the Cape after living there 14 years! Happy trails!
