Great vid, thanks! I noted that the pods shown all have a tongue wheel attached to the front jack. My '15 178 does not and I noticed at the r v show last spring that none of the models had one. anyone know what's up with that?

That's just something they use in the production factory to make moving the Pods around the factory easier while they are constructing them.

None of us have tongue wheels from factory.

Just guessing the wheel is just for use in the factory for moving the pod around during construction.

Great video. I'd have like to see where they do final inspection and testing.

Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks!

Thanks, Cliff.  I hadn't seen any vids showing as much as this one.  Good catch!  Big smile
