My wife and I recently picked up a 2014 178 that fits us perfectly. We live in Jacksonville. Fl. and have property at the Suwannee River we camp at quite a bit. Moved from an Aliner to the Rpod to make my life a bit simpler. Looking forward to doing a few mods and seeing what other folks have done.

Welcome and congratulations on your "new" (to you) RPod! The nice thing about the RPods is that you can camp at your property or you can hitch up and travel and see a lot of America that is missed by those who fly.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the Rpod.  I'm also in Jacksonville (beach). I've had my 2016 172 for just 2.5 months.  I've camped and kayaked at Suwannee but before I got the pod.  On My way to Maine next month though. I'd would love to meet up; I think there might be a way to DM???

Congratulations on your Pod.  You've come to the right place for mods.  There's a lot of creative ideas here and a wealth of knowledge.

Hello!
I have recently purchased a 2018 R-pod 178. I am new to the camper-owning aspect of camping; I usually tent-camp.  The camper is barely used.  The lady I purchased it from had already bought all the extras for it, including hoses, levels, new bed matress, and the sway bar hitch.  Only thing I really need to do is work on the modifications Cool.  The previous owner told me she was on this forum and to check it out!! So, here I am. Glad to be here and I can't wait to get busy on my R-pod mods... Along with my Tacoma mods I have been working on.

Lots of mods available on this forum.  As a fellow 178 owner, there are some good mods using the space under the middle of the bed and installing a shelf above the bed / window valences.
Also, you should check out some of the "under bench" mods where they put drawers in those spots.  Some pretty talented people on this forum.
Enjoy the first season!

Wonderful!
yes, I've seen the mods for storage and shelves, I'm going to work on those.
some things I would like to do soon are: led lights under awning, interior stick-on tiles for the kitchen walls, and a drop-down bar shelf on the outside of the pod between the main door and the storage door (left side of main door).
