   We have done little things. 
Adding the hole and prop rod for the dinette storage lid.
We have the lift kit and need to get them installed.
The r-dome had to be replaced which Seven O's did with no problems.
We also installed a expanding shower rod above the slide out and bathroom walls. We will add some sort of curtain so there is a little privacy for the dinette bed.
Tire covers added this weekend.
We have suction cups to mount the r-dome to the camper. That we will try this coming weekend.
We have been to Seven O's 3 times since we saw you guys and you would not believe the R Pods that they have sold.
Good luck and have fun.
Stay in touch.
Chris from Cortland.

	We are also new to the 177 and are happy so far. The only problem we have had is a wire was loose on the water heater causing the LP water heating to not work but fortunately a simple fix. Can anyone tell me what the white bag with the wooden bottom (velcro on the side but sewn at the top) is intended for? Another question. The sewer hose and such come in a 5 gallon bucket which is too tall to fit unter the beds or in the storage areas. Has anyone an especially good solution for the storage of this hose?

	The bag is to go over the propane tank (wooden bottom at the top) Just keeps the tank from getting nasty. The sewer hose we stored in the long black tube at the front of the trailer near the propane tank.

	:) Thanks. I wonder how long it would have taken me to find the black storage pipe.

	I was in Charleston today. I dropped my 173 at Camping world for some minor warranty work. You should come to the Caroinas Round-up In September. Welcome!!

	Welcome rvrman ! A lift Kit adds about 3 1/2" to the bottom of the Camper. Does not sound like much BUT well worth having it as the R-pods sit low.

	The lift kit is a definite PLUS. I would have had a problem dumping at a state park here in TX without it. Also, you don't have to worry about scraping going into a drive with a dip.
