Modifications on the 171: 
   1.  Made a hanging caddy for towels that can hang on either side of the bathroom door.
   2.  Replaced back curtain with panels that attatch with velcro to a wood piece.
   3.  Made a cover for the stove.
   4.  Bought two electric lights for either side for reading
   5.  Took out table and use a folding TV tray for meals
   6.  Mounted a bike rack for two on the front bumper
   7.  Mirror on bathroom door.
   8.  Added more wood on bottom bunk and then added lift assist
   9.  Since we don't use shower, moved rod over to side and hang towels etc on it.
   10.  Added paper towel holder, and cup holders
    11.  Rdome - use small command hooks  and rubber bandson outside of r-pod to hold the side     panels to the r-pod.  They seem to have stayed on and are barely noticeable.
 
I have photos for anyone that cares to see any of these changes. 
 
Enjoying our travels and slowly gaining confidence on the backing up chore!

   Looks good! I think you are the only one I remember being a metal fabricator on this forum. Enjoy your r-pod as you make it more user friendly as you want it to be.

Looks good.  I wouldn't use the hitch on the back of the cargo tray.  Due to its distance from the axle it will whip around a bit.

Posting Mod's So far in response to nothing in particular:
  • Moved Spare tire to the front  Pic 1 and 2
  • Replaced 1.25" hitch with standard 2" for Bike Rack (and that means upgrading the rear frame work)  Pic 3 & 4
  • Storage shelf slides into new 2" hitch, plus offers another 2" hitch off that.  I highly doubt we will use that at the same time (for bike rack perhaps).  this is what you get when you have an excited friend that does metal fabrication.   Big smile  Pic 5

That was BagEnd's version. It is a pressure regulator with visual guage. He also added a hose bib etc. I use a camco fixed pressure regulator, it just limits the system to 50 psi and attaches to the feeder hose. My filter breaks in half (at the union) and fits in a smaller Tupperware. The filters dry out faster that way. I also made holes in the lid and sides to allow more air flow. BagEnd's version looks fixed as the PVC is glued.

Scoul, I was referring to the system in the blue plastic container on page 10. It has a gauge of some sorts on the system....You may have hit the nail on the head.....some sort of pressure regular, perhaps. Do your filters fit inside your box for storage ?
