Our new 178 for our little family of four - me, my husband, my 4 yr old daughter and 19M old son! We are so excited for our very first trip to Tombstone for Memorial weekend. |

2Peas, welcome.
Pooterpod, here's an example from our prior TV, a Sienna. It got 23 mpg in daily driving, 16 pulling our popup, and 11-12 pulling the pod (one tank got 8 with a strong headwind). The popup was heavier than the pod.

I was hoping for better , you know the saying, wish and one hand and XXXX in the other , which weighs more.....seriously though , it got 13 in 15 MPH winds on a shake down, so I am sure wind will mess with mileage substantially.

you will probably end up between 11-13 mpg pods do mess with your mileage!

I thought I would add our new 171 HRE and my 2011 F-150. This is a Idaho "RIG". I am hoping the TT wind resistance does not kill my MPG as I get 18 towing a similarly weighted utility trailer that sits behind the truck out of the wind.

We did a similar upgrade from a 2010 171 to a 2015 179. The extra room and storage in the 179 is really great!

We bought a 174 in 2010 and upgraded to a 179 this spring. First trip was to Kohler-Andrae State Park (WI) on Mother's Day week-end. LOVE the extra storage and bed-that-isn't-also-the-table. We have a 2012 Toyota Tacoma double-cab.

So my wife and I are off on a tour around the lower 48 states in our 171. We picked up a two year old r-pod and trialed it out camping a few times before setting off from San Jose, CA. We were pulling it with a Toyota Tundra (V6, 3400cc).
  As our (bad) luck would have it our truck, Beluga, started having troubles in Southern California and wasn't having anything to do with hills by Arizona. Coupled with other issues we'd had with it, we needed a replacement. We stayed with family for a few days in Phoenix while we sorted out a new TV and are off again in a new (to us) Ram 1500.  |
