Welcome Dave. I too am a Dave. My wife and I are first year RVers this year with our new 180. My youngest goes to college in a month which makes is empty nesters along with Randy. So I guess I'm a Randy too. :)

Having a blast so far and camping as much as possible.

Welcome and congratulations. I have only owned my 179 for a little over a month. This group helped me pick what I wanted and what best suited my needs. I have had many questions and have received a boat load of help from the folks in this forum. I really like everyone's positive attitude and zeal for knowledge sharing. This forum has really helped me. I think I am going to seek out one of the get-togethers one of these days as this seems to be a great group of people. I am happy being in the POD cult and hope you are too.

I believe Forest River has a winner in the rpod 180. My wife and I have not can't in 16 years. But upon seeing this model at the Shipshewana Indiana flea market we fell in love. We still love camping. And especially enjoy the Indiana State Parks

I also agree that the frigerator takes extra long to light up on LP. Air in the line take an extra amount of time to get rid of. Just be patient and light the stove longer than you would expect.

Yes, I ran the stove to get all the air out of the gas line, then the frig ignited ok.

Have any other 180 owners had trouble when switching propane tanks fridge won't run on gas after change? Works fine on elect. Assuming there is air in line but have run cooktop and it is fine.

I couldn't agree more about making the bed. There is no way it can be made without it looking like we've slept in it!!  Wink
