I can't believe no one has recommended the 178!. If your wanting a pod this would be a good fit for 4, 5 could be tight but coming from a tent it would still be good. I have two kids and our 1 year old sleeps in pack n play and 10 year old next to, both on the dinette bed, works just fine. We may upgrade in the future but the pay off of getting that thing into small dispersed camping spots is well worth it!

Good point Danielw1.  I have never been inside a 178 but have seen the floorplan on the web; looks great.  I probably would have bought the 178 if it had been available when we purchased our 177 back in 2011 because of the extra room and storage.

We have been in both.. LOL.. we have been in them all...

But, I agree, had the 178 been available in 2011.. furpod would have been a 178 not a 177. It's a great floor plan, and the front bed mod makes for a super usable camper. I actually don't understand why FR hasn't jumped on that and built a "178 FB" or something, with the bed in the front. Next time I am at Goshen, I will try to remember to ask..

Good, you do that Mark.  As one of the "Generals" on this forum and with all your expertise in that frontal lobe of yours, the higher ups at Goshen may well listen to you.
