Topic: New 179 very excited! Posted: 18 Mar 2014 at 8:42pm |
We just recently purchased a 2013 model 172 and took it camping last weekend--we love it! This is our fifth fiberglass trailer in 10 years and so far it's way ahead of everything else. It does require some creativity getting all our "stuff" tucked away but we did it and are now planning our next getaway. The bunk beds are the BOMB! We love this much sleeping room in such a small trailer--very hard to find.

the 179 has a whole pantry area along with a closet and tons of storage under the kitchen cabinets.

I use a pair of plastic add-on mirrors on my Silverado. Standard mirrors are okay but the added 5"-6" shows me what's right behind me. Helps with backing up too. Not essential equipment since the pod is narrowish, but gives you a little bit more to see. It's a personal thing. Like having a dog. Or a different mattress.

My girl friend and I both getting back in to camping after over 20 years. Picked up our 179 this past Saturday ready for winter to be over in central NY so we can get started. Still need to outfit everything inside now. Both of us very excited about our 179.

Welcome. Unlikely you'll need towing mirrors. The pods are narrow, with the outside of the body lying inside the width of the trailer tires. Full-sized trucks can easily see down both sides.
