new owner of a 178 - Event Date: 27 Feb 2018

We just purchased our new 2018 Rpod model 178 and excited to take our first trip to Savannah this month.  Why is there not an outside tv cable connection on the trailer. When you install the shelf over the bed and dining area are you just laying the shelf on the window trim or  are screwing in the wall?

See my mods for how I added a shelf to our 179 (link in signature). I made brackets and use Command Strips. Now that our 179 is out of warranty, I may add short anchors and use screws (less than 1") to make it even sturdier.

+1 on cable connection. On our 2016 RP179, it is at the rear corner near the power connection and has two connections--one for cable TV and another for Satellite. I have not used either one. I don't know if the 2018 models kept that as a feature as I did not see it in the features list when I looked on Forest River's R-Pod site.

Welcome to the group!! Congrats on your 178!!!

Bully,

I used wood dowel rods, stained them, because the wood compliments the white wire, shower rods are also a good choice. I bought some weave baskets at Lowe's and use them to store small items in. The rod really supports the weight, but I don't carry real heavy stuff, toiletries, socks, and then hang shirts, pants and jackets (at window ends of rod). As I recall I couldn't find a shower rod that extended across the trailer and didn't bow. In the front I used corner shelves not the full 6' shelf, again with a closet rod, so I can hang there too. Two baskets, one in each corner, hold small items. On the ends of the closet rods, I did use the standard rod holders for closets. I can send you pics if you send me a PM.
