An outside shower is one of the first things I had added, years ago. Nice to rinse off sandy feet and wash dishes outside. We had one on our popup and missed it when we bought the pod. I'll be interested to hear if they are now standard equipment.

I believe that aluminum can be powder coated as well. At least I am sure there are aluminum powder coated porch railings. For what that's worth...

I won't argue about the fenders. Could well have been brushed aluminum. On my 2015, I'm expecting powder-coated.
I don't know enough about the axle thing to enter into an informed discussion. The bottom line, for me, it's something I don't have to be concerned about. |

No, we ordered the 178, and the salesman said outdoor shower. I'll be interested to see if we have an outside shower. That's certainly not something that I'd fall on my sword over, unless we did a significant amount of big-water camping. |

We have a 2015 178, but no outdoor shower. Did you mean the 179? Now I have shower envy.

They fenders weren't chrome they were brushed aluminum- if they are powder coated I suspect they are now steel.
Interesting- if they spec'd the proper axle they wouldn't need risers- the torsion axles are available with different angles to the arms to set height. It did sort of bug me they used risers instead of installing a higher axle in the first place. |

We just picked up our 2015 179 last week, can we answer any specific for you. When we were looking.......we checked out the 2014 179 that was on the lot......but decided to order a new 2015. Love the room and storage.

Showers are the only current revision change that is starting to roll out on new Pods.
Glad you like the 178, it's a wonderful floor plan! |
