Thank you for the response and ideas. The door was open as I was just testing it, not in it. Weighting the curtain is an idea that never occurred to me although I have read somewhere that a waterproof fabric curtain works better as it is heavier. As far as the mesh panel, I'm not that talented. Best I could do is use a hole punch, thats as far as my talent takes me.

You don't necessarily need to be talented if you know someone who can do it for you. You could also look for a suitable replacement that has a mesh top already. I have seen them in some stores. |

I just went out and looked at the one in our 179. I had a thought. Get some magnetic strip material and slide it into the bottom of the curtain. Then glue a strip of it where the bottom of the curtain is so that the magnet in the seam at the curtain bottom can stick to the strip below the door. That should solve the problem.
Also, when you run the fan, be sure to have it on low while you are in there. Afterward, you can increase the speed to help dry out the shower. A squeegee or microfiber cloth helps as wiping down the walls will help them dry faster. |

Coming in a bit late on this as we just returned from a 4050 mile trip to RMNP in Colorado for 2 weeks. Our 2011 177 pod has over 26,000 miles on it and still looks great and we really don't have anything to really complain about, except maybe making the bed, a bit of a chore BUT with all the pluses, it is quite insignificant. As always we gave quite a few tours to interested campers as well as when we would be at the filling station, people would come up and ask if they could have a 'peek' inside. We did have a couple of evenings where we considered maybe it would be nice to have A/C as it was 100 degrees at Sterling, Colorado on our way home and 88 at Anita, Iowa, but in both cases by sunset the temp had dropped to the lower 70's, so we just ran the fantastic fan and enjoyed great nights of sleep.

On some of the nights we have stayed while traveling, the temperatures were quite warm. Once we had the fan on and the windows at the head and foot of the bed open. It rained during the night and we woke up to wet feet. Not only the linens got wet. The mattress got wet also. It took a little doing, but we got everything dried out.
I really would like to figure out a way to be able to open the windows and have rain protection. Something like jalousie windows would work better to keep water out. I remember the camping trailer my parents had when I was young had those. They were much better than the sliding windows we have. |

I solved the shower curtain issue by using some velcro oval stick-on patches. First thing was that they didn't stay stuck on. So I used a staple gun to fasten them to the corner molding and a regular stapler to hold them on the curtain. Only need 4 or 5 to hold the curtain in place.

Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't gotten back to the shower curtain as when I purchased the Pod the previous owner hadn't washed it in a year and a half so I have been detailing the outside, inside is immaculate. Once weather cools down here in PA I'll go back in and look at it. Thanks again.
