Video did work. Thanks again for posting the mod. I should thank everyone who posts mods, they are all very cool and useful. My only mod so far is using the wood sink cover as a base under my CPAP on the dinette seat. I'll come up with something cool eventually, maybe a jacuzzi in the bath? Most campgrounds won't let me have a portable hot tub so it would have to be inside. Ideas?

Inserting a hyperlink is not difficult. At the top of the editing window, there are two rows of icons. There is one that looks like a globe with a chain link. If you click on that, it opens a dialog where you can type or paste the link. If you paste it, be sure to delete the http:// or https:// and use the drop-down menu to specify which it is. Otherwise you will end up with the http duplicated. Here's an example: https://goo.gl/photos/jsGXcxVsBDUruso56 Now if you don't want the URL to show but a verbal link, create one such as, "Video step-by-step link." Highlight it and then click on the link button above the editing window. It will open the dialog with the highlighted text in the box. Delete the text and type or paste your link into the box instead. Adjust the http: or https://. When you click okay, your link will be present. Here is an example: Video step-by-step link Hope this helps. I am interested in trying this mod myself. |

2428,
Thanks for the kind words! I'll take some pictures and put together a step by step. Did the video link work? I can't figure out out how to do a proper hyperlink. It was so inexpensive and easy I can't believe forest river did not do this from the factory! I'm not sure, but i think the electrical panel on a 179 is just inside the door to the right below the pantry door? The closer to the panel the easier the job is. The switch panel may fit between the pantry door and the panel or next to the panel sideways, or maybe on the wall facing the dinette, that would be the logical place for it. Either way it is a pretty easy project, low cost/high reward! Send a picture of the panel and walls around it and can let you know what i would do. |

That is absolutely awesome. I'm still amazed at what I see on this forum, I have been on paid forms with less useful info than I find here. I have the same dislike for the lights but still love my pod, and have thought of trying this. I would also like to see the step by step if possible. I hope a more seasoned podder can weigh in on this possibility for the 179, I'm sure the wires can't be too hard to find. Also curious if anyone thinks this would void a warranty.
Thanks for a great post. |

Looks great, I wouldn't mind seeing the step by step if it's not too much trouble. Thanks!

Did my first mod today,
I did not like having to climb into my 2016 180 Rpod to push the little button on a light in the dark to turn on one light and then wander around turning on other lights and sometimes knocking the covers off. I discovered that i could easily add a 4 gang RV switch just inside the door and control all the lights in the pod as i go in or out the door. Installing the switch took all of 45 minutes, all the wires for the lights are in the cabinet under the seat. I bought the black 4 gang switch on ebay for $14 with free shipping. I can still turn any light off and on with the button on each light for less or more light. If anyone wants more info let me know and i'll add a step by step pictorial. Here's a link to a video showing how it works. I added a step by step pictorial a few comments down d ![]() |
