List Your Mods:

Here's our current mods.  More to come in the spring after it comes out of winter storage.



Added wire racks from Wal-mart for extra storage.  Removed the gas burner stove and covered open area with a cutting board.  We prefer outdoor cooking and using electric hot plates for cooking indoors.






Added 6" height to lower bunk by using 1x6 boards and using contact paper to cover the boards.  This gave us additional storage and raised the height of the bunk to comfortably have a place to sit to tie shoes or waiting for the bathroom





We ordered the 172 with the top bunk loose and replaced it a shelf.  This allowed us to be able to sit on the lower bunk without hitting our head on the top bunk.  We use the lower bunk for our clothes that we store in plastic containers with rollers on the bottom.   The upper shelf is for those odds and ends that you just don't know where to put them. 

We opted out of the R-Dome and decided the EZ-UP was more for us.  It is fast to set up, less then 60 sec's to set up, and is move able to whereever we want to put it.  You can get an optional screen too.

Under Bed Storage use laundry baskets and a tub.

When we ordered our r-pod the first thing I had the dealer do was to remove the single tank holder and install the Dual Tank Holder.  We also changed over the gas regulator so both tanks are fastened at all times.  I went with a manual switch over regulator so I know when the one tank is empty and needs to be refilled.

Among other things, installed a safety handle in the BR to make it easier to get up off the toi!
