Hello all.

Just got the 176-T model with the tent. It was a pain finding one in this part of the country but Couch's had the right price, even with delivery. We are looking forward to adventuring around the Southwest.




yes the tent is closed at the moment

Don't mean to butt in on someone else's thread, but the "T" (for tent) models have a bunkend made of tent material that folds down on the back end of the Pod, behind a dinette table, giving you more sleeping space and a more open-looking interior.  They are actually considered hybrid campers, as opposed to travel trailers.

I looked at their website, I didnt see any 176-T models, just the 176 which isnt the tent. That would be great if someone on the west coast stocked them

Agreed, no "T's" if a single dealer had 5 at one time that would just about corner the supply Wink

Hi. We are about to buy a 176T. Some sales people have told us that when closed the tent material covers the dinette table making it unusable unless tent opened. Also that it was poorly designed and would leak in rain. I think he was just pushing the re 78 that he had in stock. What do you think? Any problems so far?
