I live in Nashville Tennessee and that model list here for around 20,000 and most dealers here have it discounted down to 16,500 before you  deal any. Maybe it depends on where you live . I guess they can get more for them in different parts of the country. In lebanon tennessee 35 miles from Nashville the dealers have the for about 2000.00 more.

The initial mods are pretty much what you had stated (shower head, 3M hooks, sewer tube, sat TV, etc).  Most of the more simple are pretty much what most poders have already listed.  I do want to "quiet" the water pump (did not do this in our pop up and regretted it everytime it came on!).  Our biggest issue is how best to use the storage and we will learn this (and I am sure change it) everytime we take the pod out.  Getting very excited!  Been waiting for a few months for our pod!  It will be nice to have it.  Oh, yes, it will be in the driveway for a few days at first while we get used it!

I am with Keith and Dar, when We first got ours I wanted to modify this, change that, drill this , correct that, that is my personality. buuutttt, I took my time and we made slow subtle changes, where to put the 3m hooks. We did a couple of trips before I started to make light mods. Nothing structual, just little things like a folding support that holds the top up in the lower bunk while you are looking for things stored, oxygenics shower head, group 27 battery, longer tube with a 15ft dump hose. take it out a few times, enjoy its simplicity and atributes, then go for it. Have fun, Donna and I are heading out this weekend.

I recommend camping in your new pod before ripping into anything.  It will help you know what you want to do and the order you want to do the mods.

There is always camp driveway.  A good way to figure out what you need.

Just got confirmation that the 176T will be ready for us this Saturday!  We are really excited to get it and I am ready to rip into it as well.  Our list of mods is getting longer everyday!

Welcome, Todd.
 
SNHOEkstra, looks like you are missing a closing / in your last IMG tag in your signature.
