   Purchased a new 179 this summer and have made several trips including a month long trip to the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound and the Oregon coast. My wide and I are pretty happy with the Rpod, although we have had a number of problems with it. Most of which I have fixed. The most significant issue was a problem with the slideout not retracting on our first night out. Removed panel beneath the refrigerator and found that the power wires became disconnected. Fixed this, later the slideout was catching on the side seat plywood covers. Installed thinner plywood covers to partially fix this.  Will return to dealer to see if slideout can be raised.  Have made many improvements for storage and organization and will share some of these later.

	My experience over time with an RV -- if you don't like to fix things, stay in a motel.

	I don't have a problem fixing things and am impressed with many features in the Rood but there is romm for improved quality control.
