RPod 178... Finally!

We got our 2014 178 two weeks ago.  We got the Pebble interior, and we like it.  I also like the bronze faucet with the pull-out sprayer.  Our keyless entry took a little getting used to, but we're now able to operate it consistently.  It takes a practiced touch.  We went on our first camping trip last weekend - everything worked great - and I had it winterized this morning.  I can't WAIT for spring now!  One question for the group:  to cover or not to cover?  My husband doesn't think it's needed, but I'm thinking it will help protect it while sitting outside all winter.  What does the experienced podder think?

We bought our 2011 R-P172 in Oct also and only got to squeeze in two trips that year before we had to winterize and cover it up. I spent a lot of time that winter setting in the pod reading the manuals, doing light mods and planning. it worked out pretty well. you still have a little time left even if its a driveway camp out

We had our first outing this past week and everything went well!! We had a good time and my son and I are going back to the area again today for the night.....we found a great fishing hole and were pulling in trout on our fly lines!! The only thing tht doesnt work is the latch on the door...I had to put foil in to keep the door jamb in position and even then the deadbolt wont work so the combination is useless...anyone else have this issue??

We're getting our 178 next week and can not wait!! We looked at the 177 here in Omaha but didn't like the rear entertainment unit and the local dealer would not budge one penny on the price. Did an internet search and found the 178 with the Crown Package in Sioux Falls and they matched the lowest price I was quoted from a dealer in Missouri. Going to be a BIG upgrade from the Dutchman T@DA we had!!!

Originally posted by The Tweeners We purchased our 178 Pod today at the RV Show in St. Augustine, FL.  Unfortunately we don't get to pick it up until next Saturday but I've already booked our first trip!  We have been Starcraft pop-up owners for almost 6 years.  I loved our pop-up but the set up/break down was really starting to ware on us...especially in the Florida summer heat! I have enjoyed reading many of the posts and have been taking notes . If there is a Florida Pod outing we would love to know about it.  Looking forward to running into other Pod owners in our travels.
