Put the cover on today fits very well, so far I'm very please. Thumbs Up Nothing to do now other than to see how it stands up to the test of time.

Since the cover is longer than your pod, I would go for it.  Four extra inches won't be a big deal.

But does the Northern and Classic fit a R177? They state it is 190" and my 2011 R177 measures 186"
But I'm reluctant to buy it without knowing for sure. Does anyone in Podville know???Ouch

Despite the dimensions listed and what their cust svc told me, i ordered it based on some reviews by other rpod owners.( as i recall, there was a 30 day full refund policy that helped me decide to.chance it ) i have an r172 listed at 19' 4" long and it fits perfectly !

On another note, On average, how long can I expect a 20lb tank of propane to last when using the furnace thru much of the night ?
 
Also, what do you prefer via experience when running the fidge....propane or the battery?
 
I am just trying to figure out how much usage I can get and the most efficient way.
 
I bought an extra battery and am wondering if I really need an extra propane tank. Thanks.

I ran the fridge on gas and used the furnace  intermittently in the late summer and I got 10 days out of a 20 lb tank. I don't like using the battery for the fridge. It does not keep it very cool and drains the battery really fast.

I am looking for a cover for my R177. Classic says there's is only for 15'1" (outside length) R177 is 15-6"
Is the cover from Northern large enough for a R177? I looked at their website and it did not say it would fit that size.

I'm just 40 miles south of the Wyoming border and understand the need.

I bought a Forest River cover.  The cover is canvas and made by an awning shop in Indiana.  Very tough.  You need to take care with a poly cover and watch out for tear areas.

I have the Classic Accessories cover, too. Paid about the same, maybe a little more, but not much. Fortunately, it is still in the box, so I cannot comment, yet, on its durability. I say fortunately, because the pod has been averaging "in use" 3 out of the past 4 weekends, and it is planned for 2 out of the next 3! Then..... Maybe, I'll get to try it out... But, I hope not! Big smile
