The lower the temps, the higher the propane use. When we were traveling in winter, we were using a tank of propane every 2-3 days, and that was with the thermostat set no higher than 65. The outside temps were single-digit with a significant wind chill. OTOH, during the summer months, the propane lasts a long time. Still, I recently put in dual tanks with an automatic changeover so if we get into a situation of needing more propane, I won't have to worry about whether the tank will run out in the middle of the night. I also installed an AP Products (Mopeka) tank monitor setup with one receiver and two senders. I made sure to get the aluminum feet as I heard that the rubber ones don't really work well. I did not like using the app on my phone.

I can recommend the Red Cliff Campground, about 45 minutes from Yellowstone's West Entrance. We stayed there last year late in the season. Very quiet other river noise and some highway noise,depending on your site. Electric & non-electric sites. Plenty of hiking nearby (but beware the grizzlies!) |

Yes I hear sites can be slim pickings so I really appreciate the tip. It’s always difficult when visiting an area for the first time but can also be why it’s so exciting too😁

Hi New92,
Decided against a surround since Forest River stated it is waterproof how it is, others on the forum concurred and I didn't find a surround that I liked and wasn't too heavy. Our only thought was to paint it but will wait and see if that is necessary. A recommendation was to squeegee the walls after use, so I bought a squeegee and will try that. Will check out the surge guard. Thanks for sharing the info!

I looked at the photos of the 192's shower, and I think that they might have left the surround out because it would need to be high enough to pass the area where the roof begins to curve. Because the 192 has the rear bathroom, they can't run the surround straight up the wall to a high enough height. I assume they figure the water would run behind the surround, and become a leak problem. That's my thought of why they did it.

Very shortly we will be buying our first pod...we are in the market for a new 176. A few questions:
1. Is there a difference between the 2019 and 2020 models? There are two for sale near us and just wondering...the 2020 is listed at $500 less 2. Is there such thing as a pre-purchase checklist so we can make sure we negotiate the right things, including things we don't know about but should know? Thanks in advance!!!

There may be a couple of options on the 2019 model that aren't on the 2020 model. You would need to get a detailed listing of what each one has to determine what is different.

On a few 192 walk-through videos I’ve viewed, the couch has removable, padded arm rests with cup holders.
My unit didn’t have this option. Did anyone get the arm rests with their trailer? Was this an add-on? ...Sorry squeezed the photo little too much. |
