Just being my usual silly self Smile.  I like the new graphics and I hope you get a chance to use yours soon. 
 
Thanks for the complement/Dixie.  She is a good looking Shepherd, if I say so myself.....but SPOILED ROTTEN!

The 'pod's heater and A/C are both oversized, considering the small space and over-insulation.  I would bet that leaving the door open overnight would keep the dome comfortable.  I don't think I would try this if it got down into the 30's (the heater would stay on all the time) but maybe in the 40's or above.
 
iamsmonk - that was my worry, that you would have to be careful to unplug anything.  Have you used the small sink yet?

Brewsterivy - yes, you could put overflow people in the dome at night.  It really keeps out the elements and I suppose most critters as well.  There's plenty of room for a couple of cots, sleeping bags or lounge chairs.  It's every bit as wide as the pod and almost as long!
 
Techntrek - the outlet under the bed is hidden by the slide out when in the closed position.  We will be sure to unplug anything there before traveling.

I like the new graphics, too.  I don't like the new sink - it takes up a lot of space in an already cramped area.  I'm curious if it is easy to wash your hands in it, or if you tend to spill a lot of water over the edge?  Question about the outlet on the base of the bed - does it get covered when the slide-out is closed?

Congratulations on your 177 and the pictures too!! The mods are great also. Love the new graphic scheme. We bought our 177 in July and it has the old graphics, which is fine. Really wish we could have gotten the spoiler though. Anyway, we love ours and know you will too!Approve

Thank you for sharing the pictures.  I love your new camper.  We have a 177 also, but 2010.  Have not used it yet, had to go right into winter storage.  Still have to buy the R-Dome.  Thanks again for sharing!

Hi Iteach5th,
 
The thing on the sink is just a small dish drainer.  It wasn't actually supposed to be on the sink, but the sink cover did come with the camper.
 
We love our new 177 and hope you do too!

Cool pictures. I ordered my 177 a couple of weeks ago. The dealer is holding mine til spring. What's that round thing covering the kitchen sink faucets?
