A "Shakedown Journey" in my recently acquired 178 - Event Date: 31 Oct 2014

Agreed...both the lack of info re; the water heater on/off switch and the screws and hardware that had to be re-attached following my travel on primitive roads, not to be unexpected considering the condition of the roads. I am going to redesign those items for more permanence. All in all, the rPod held up much better than previous motor homes. I've done a couple modifications, initially, like changing my tongue support bracket for a more robust dual wheel assembly. It allows me to drop the tail-gate on my F-250 to allow access to the truck bed while attached to the rPod and the use of a bed extender for more cargo. also the rPod is so light weight, that with the wheeled tongue support, I can push the rPod around by hand, if I need to, of course on pavement and on level ground.
