Tcj, I weighed my tongue this morning and I am at 425lbs. with a 3/4 full full fresh, empty black & grey, 1 lp tank-est3gal. 1 battery, and my drawers under the mattress mod. not stocked with hardly anything. Here's the odd thing, I just bought it on 8/5/2019 new, and was told it was an 2018. And mine was built on 4/5/2017. So this thing sat around for 2 years somewhere. the price was right so I'm ok with that, but do feel cheated a bit. Does anyone know the part # for the double step? With the lift I need it. I can't find it anywhere online. Thanks John |

For what it's worth, our 180 was made in April 2019. The registration says it is a 2019 model. Interior colors are the same as yours. Our air conditioner is totally different. The thermostat is digital mounted right of the bathroom door. I just now got a sherline 1000 tongue scale and weighed the tongue. 400 pounds even. That's with the fresh water tank drained of all it will drain in the level position, 5 gallons in the black tank, grey tank empty, inside stocked minimally with pots & pans, some dry goods, two sleeping bags, minimal items in the storage compartments, 53 pound battery, electric tongue jack, and estimate 4 gallons in a single propane tank.

Furpod, Knowing the seller Cheyenne Rv Sales, bought 30 and are selling them on ebay for $13600 they must have either bought overstock cheap or low enough priced and added a/c. Mine came with awning, elec jack, lp tank cover and A/C, tv, micro. so pretty loaded My thought is that these were an overrun, and sold in bulk to the dealer. Mine was made in late 2018. And checking online 2019's have the brown door and the brown slide out corner blocks also, so I guess this is how they're being made now. John

Stephan,
It is a Dometic unit, No identifying #s on the inside cover or outside cover. the outside cover is the black low profile just like the 2015 pod had. And i just looked and there is NO manual for it. Since the fan on low is quieter than the old one, and I can set the dial to any temp I guess its just white noise when we sleep, like an airplane, and I don't have to deal with it cycling of and on. Just making excuses, wish it had a thermostat. John |

The a/c is probably because the dealer originally ordered it without a/c, and then added it, either because the buyer wanted it or because it is a less expensive option to the ordering dealer. I have worked on a couple of pods, all from the north, except one, that had that arrangement and a/c.One was from GA, but she wasn't the original owner and didn't know the history of her rings pod.

Thanks. When mine went to the factory for repair, the Fantastic Fan was replaced with a MaxxAir Fan. I also like it better once I figured out how to modify my Fantastic Fan cover to fit the lugs to hold it in place on the roof (a little work with a Dremel tool to cut notches to fit). What brand and model is the AC?

Hey Stephan,
The a/c is low profile, the 3 speed fan is quieter on low than the one that was in the 2015 and you can tell when it cycles on the cooling function. high is same as the old unit. the fan runs full time when on and there is a dial for temp control. I tested the heat pump and while its louder than the furnace, your using park power instead of propane. The whole interior is light grey except the bathroom door, corner blocks, and table. Are 2019 pods brown inside? I do like the color but not just for a few things, may have to make something that matches and replace the blocks. Also it's an east coast pod and it has NO camber on the axle, straight as a level the whole way across. Noticed this when I installed the lift blocks. And per forest river quality control All lighting circuits are wired different and sharing other things. Also has a maxxfan instead of a fantastic fan. I like the maxxfan better. Cheers, John
