Propane only. Many of us carry a small electric heater for those times when electric hook ups are available. (It's much quieter too.) |

Question: is the furnace only Propane fired? Is there an AC burner in there?

I did manage to get the locking handles to work. They were not properly adjusted, so with a little tinkering they are working fine.

After 3 weekends of camping I thought we'd share our experiences.
We added privacy curtains on each bunk and the queen bed area. The latter works Great as a changing area. I had to tailor the bunk curtains to size but the kiddos love them. We found out the hard way that the Pex tubes were not crimped properly to the hot water heater, fixed. The dealer did not open valves to hot water heater, fixed. The factory did NOT tighten the trap and sink connections, fixed. We also learned that we go through more water than anticipated, short showers are a must with 4 campers when there is no water connection. Dumping was MUCH easier than we anticipated. But is it possible that they switched the dump labels? The gray water is marked "sewer" and the Black water is marked "waste water". We had some Very rainy days and nights and the tent portion leaked a bit. I fixed that too. Anyone with a 176t can PM me and I'll send a pic of the easy fix. We took out the wardrobe hanging rod and I installed 3 shelves (4 including base). That works Really well for the 4 of us. We each have a place for clean clothes. We've all been perfectly happy on the stock mattresses. Maybe because we're all small? Anyway, they're staying. We've been removing the table and using it on the camping mat under the awning. I'd like to come up with some airplane style fold down tables to eat inside, the stock table seems just too big. This forum has been incredibly valuable to us! Thank you all for your experience and wisdom!! |

Hi Elizabeth,
I haven't addressed it yet. I have a feeling some patience and a Dremel will fix the problem. The slots that the locking arms are supposed to go into look like they were hacked out with an ax. When I have time I'll try to clean and smooth them and hopefully make room the the locking arms to fully close. |

Another option is the Ikea Lycksele Lovas sofa bed mattress. I just unwrapped mine and it fit perfectly turned 90 degrees when the tent is closed.
It folds in almost the same location as the stock mattress. You can see picks and reviews on the R-pod Facebook page if you search for 176T and Ikea Lycksele.

Best upgrade I have made yet. New mattress from mattressinsider.com . Its thicker so it takes more space. The ONLY recommendation I have is. The stock mattress is so many inches wide. With the tent closed up I have turned the mattress 90 degrees to sleep on it. It was fine, but too wide. I would actually consider getting a couple inches smaller so I can sleep without the tent. I have done it out east, Arkansas and Texas. It kept the AC usage down and the noise down.

I've been exploring mattress options and came across these on Amazon. They are almost exact size for both bunks and queen beds.

None of my keys matched my trailer. Locksmith took care of that. Mine lock just fine.
