Tip: Make sure your Amazon Prime account is in good order. Have plenty chocolate chip cookies for John, the UPS guy (your UPS name may vary).
Mods: Click the link in my signature and use your imagination. 178 has been a great layout for us. Enjoy! fred

Congratulations on your new 178. I hope you have a great summer podding with it. Also in terms of a Manual bikeella is right....the dealer supplied copy doesn't really do it....but....on this forum there is a Manual for Pods that has been painstakingly complied by one of the forum Stalwarts....find a post by Techentrek and look to his signature. You'll see the link.

Congratulations on your 178. Hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed ours. The on-off switch inside and to the left of the door ..... operates the outside light.

Switches are labeled, that one is probably the porch light.

I just bought a 178 and had a good walk thru at the dealer, but I expected it to have a manual for more detail. It doesn't. It comes with a general manual and not specific to the model, so I have questions about how to operate things. Like there is an on/off switch on the panel as you enter the door. Not sure what this is. Maybe for the power to operate the water pump?? I haven't done anything with that since it is still winterized. The slide and radio/tv works without it on, so maybe someone can tell me.
I do love it and looking forward to use it, but first I have to learn how to tow it and back it up!

Welcome to the group!! Congrats on your 178!! I would recommend getting a very thorough walk thru, having the tech, demonstrate everything. The fridge/stove/ac/furnace/tv/entertainment system and video the demo. It is a lot of info to try to remember.
