Our wish list for future 179:
  • hardwire surge protector
  • no sink in wet bath, or larger wet bath 
  • lift bed for storage
  • speaker located over the bed
  • quite AC
  • dual propane
  • battery cut off switch
  • tilt on television 

Just saying....why didn't they put a tilt on the tv? Confused

I have to wonder, if people that worked there used these things, what we would get as a customer would be vastly better.  Its always little things.  I personally think they should investigate the usage of glue on trim. If we can glue airplanes together, why not a trailer.  The idea of a factory is to improve average quality while controlling costs.  Just like your worthless hose, what would a better hose actually represent when your spending $20K .  

Just the little things that are so easy to avoid.  Attention to detail seems like a lost art.

So, I bought a 178 right before xmas, it stayed in storage till last month.
4 months in storage and when I got back to it, the blue tube for the toilet water was broken.
I could not figure out why I had no water pressure.
After finding out the problem and capping the hose ( a royal pain in the ass BTW ) I was able to use my shower and other faucets.
However, as I look into this piece that broke I see nothing but BAD crappy parts. I am pretty disappointed with this, my trailer is 5 hours away from where I bought it. And the dealer is a little over 1.5 hrs from my house... So I am going to have to skip warranty and fix it myself, I am capable and ok with it but Rpod people if you are reading this, please use better parts, hopefully not china made parts TongueLOL
A big question I have is that I am wondering if the sub-floor would get ruined by the leak. It mostly drained on the shower floor that is made of water but I am thinking some might have gone behind the toilet wall.
Any ideas suggestions or ways to get a better part ?

Thanks

My wish list on my 178 was an slide out cover. So I broke down and got it last week. Spendy little bugger. Side cover with labor $667. Anything that helps protect slide seals from tears and rips from pinecones or broken branches from forest camping. Posting pics later on...

I got a good chuckle from John in Idaho.  My experiences also!LOL

I have used the camera on smart phone, take a pic of directions, refer to them with door closed, can even zoom in on directions.

There is much information on youtube.  Look at dealer showing the R-pods.  I learned everything from winterizing to hook up.  I still look at them from time to time for internment!
