Hi, We have not purchased yet but have narrowed it to the RP-179 or the RP-179  We will be purchasing new. What should we be looking at during the delivery inspection? Are there any special concerns with this model?
I'll post pics when available

A quick search of the forum should give you lots of information as to what to look for. We have a 179 and have enjoyed it greatly. We thought we would get more use out of the larger kitchen and storage than out of the larger bath. It has worked out well for us so far. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

We also have the 179 and love it! I would have the tech turn on and demonstrate everything in the camper from the radio to the a/c, furnace etc....... I would also video it, you will be getting hit with a ton of info and will probably forget a lot. that way you have something to fall back on. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

The only problem we had is the wood trim around the slide out. One side catches on the cushion. They fixed it but now it is completely off on the right side. I will fix it this time. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

| Thanks Leo B for the advice of video recording the delivery. We will definitely do this. |

I know that every dealer is different, but we got quite an extensive walk-around and systems tour when we picked up our R-179. No switch was left unflipped, no valve was left unturned. There was (is) a lot to absorb. This included hitching/unhitching. Don't let them rush you through this, and the recording is a great idea. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

The trim on our slide was catching the cover for the ottoman storage when it would slip out of place, so we throw the cover on the bed before pulling the slide in. That has taken care of the issue. |
