We just reserved a 177 soon to arrive @ RV Nation in October.
We're very excited about it !!
We were contemplating a used '07 Zoom but stumbled upon the Pod
on the internet.
Towing was a big concern, our limit is 5000, but I really dont care to test that theory.
The 177 was well in our lbs range w/overhead to boot.
The Kitchen Slide is a nice feature (floor area), Queen Bed (a must), and dinnette was our
kind of set-up. (sitting area/bed).
We will post all the "newbie" reactions soon.
We are looking forward to being part of the "Pod" family !!!

That's great to hear! We're actually leaning towards the 176 ourselves. But it probably won't be until next Spring at the earliest. Make sure you post pics of your 177 right away! =Jared & Stacie |

I saw each of these this week. It is amazing how much a 16" slide will make. It is a great addition. I am surprised that I have not seen any photo's from Admin as I assume we were at the same show this week based on the hybrid photo's.
The queen bed is much easier to get in and out of now than the 171 if you can handle the increase in price and weight. |

If I had the 177 I would take out the dinette and put in a Lazy Boy recliner!

I wonder if FR can do a slight modification for us. Remove the entertainment center from the 176, and replace the narrow bunks with the 42" wide bunks from the 172. Seems like that would be fairly easy to do. We'd be the first in line!!! =Jared & Stacie |

Or if they had put the sofa from the 173 instead of the bunks, I would have gotten that one!

Where would they put the tv? It is so small that you would not be able to see it from the sofa if it was over the u shaped couch. Great ideas if they could solve the tv problem.

Mount it on a swivel on the wall between the toilet and the stove, next to the door to the wet bath? The door opens towards the dinette so it wouldn't interfere. When its not needed, fold it flat against the wall.
