I'm still not finding anything else. Can you post a link?
Probably not interested in a hybrid, but curious to see what the layouts are like. |

Rpodadmin posted the floor plans over here:
So I am looking at the photo and the floorplan. Looks like on the hybrids you lose the back window. So if its closed there are even less windows in the 172/176 hybrid variants?

Ah, thanks. For some reason that post wasn't showing up in my New Posts list.
The 173T is my personal favorite of the new ones. I wonder if it will offer the option of chairs like the standard 173. |

I see the prices are back on Couch's website If FR continues to make innovations on the Pod I could see us "upgrading" in a few years. Right now we are enjoying the 172 as is, but I really like the pull out kitchen

"Buuuut, think about this: if it was set up in such a way that you had a choice whether or not you deployed the canvas, that would definitely change my mind. Think how versatile that would be, and probably the only camper on the market with that feature".
This sounds like a good idea to me. If you could use it when needed and cover when not. I think I love the new 177 better than my 175 . But with the slide out wouldnt everything in your cabinets get knocked around?

I’m not so sure we should be calling this new thing a Hybrid, it’s more a POD-POP_OUT (cause it's not a pop_up). When I think of a Hybrid, I think of making my life better or simpler. My version of a Hybrid would be --Three television screens let’s say a 22” 16” and 10” (wait a minute that’s Roxy’s POD good going) --Power slide out bed (scene in the "Fifth Element") --Solar power cell on outside skin to Power A/C and other electronics --Self leveling and stabilizing feet, just drive to site drop hitch and it levels itself (or better yet a leveling rotating base that keeps your solar cells in line with the sun) --A waste management system that provides fuel additives that improve your MPG. --Mini Roomba POOP Vacuuming Robots! That keeps up with Pet Poop. Said my piece and I’ll be podding along Lee |

Love the lighting in the 177. That one extra window really makes a difference.
I'm sorta wishing I waited the extra month or so to buy.... but then again I do love my sofa.

Just ordered our first pod-so excited! It is the 177-anyone with photos? We ordered based on the floor plan only.
