I have a 172 bought in September 2010. We went to see the pod a few times, the last time we went inside to look again before buying I closed my eyes and visualised the whole interior the way I wanted it to be. So there for I liked the idea of very few cabinets so I could design and build my own. We have enough storage space to put everything behind doors, there is nothing in boxes or bags.

Marwayne, Do you have pictures of what you did? It would be interesting to see your cabinets.

My biggest pet peeve on all the pods is the trim around the bathroom door. I simply can't understand why FR hasn't done anything about it. it's such a simple fix. Here are some before and after pics.

Marwayne, I have a question. Was that sink in the kitchen original or did you replace it? I am about to replace the plastic kitchen sink that came with our 179 with a stainless steel sink. The one I chose looks like the one you have. However, I am going to use a different faucet. When I get the job done, I will make sure to post pictures.

No I changed the sink and the cooktop cover with stainless.

Thanks. I will be installing the sink as soon as Lowes does its reset (getting display model at a significant discount) and we get the R-Pod back from the dealer.
