Driving from NC to Couch's RV Nation today and receiving our 2017 179 tomorrow. They have extremely good prices....nothing closer compares. Been stalking the forum here already for lots of info and mods and such. Can't wait to get my hands on it the goods! Wife and I are happy.
Been a Boy Scout Leader since '81 and Boy Scout prior to that so I have tent camping pulsing in my veins. Initially took the wife and kids on many weekend and longer camping trips in our early family years. A few trips to some Carolina beach campgrounds and swatting mosquitoes convinced us to find something bigger to live in. Found a used Coleman pop-up some 15 years ago and used the heck out of that. Kids are in college now, wife and I are looking toward retirement so we've been looking for something newer and nicer than what we have. First saw and liked the Trailmanor but it wasn't cheap. Were vacationing in Colorado last August and saw a cute little travel trailer pull into a gas station. Ventured over to check it out....hmmmmm...RPOD? Never seen one. Internet research convinced us this was the one.
Wife and I will still do some tent camping every once in a while, I hope, and I still sleep on the ground for Scout trips but the RPOD will make things tons of fun for our upcoming years. Very excited!
