We are the recent and proud owners of a 2012 HRE 177. We've already camped in late season snow (Tahoe) and summer heat and couldn't be more thrilled with the quality, layout, and size of our new trailer. We've already done a few small mods and have a long list of other's we hope to get to! Wheee!

| Mookie - what mods have you done, and what are you planning? In my 2011 RP-171, I was considering a cushion or seating re-work in the front dinette so two could lounge to watch the DVD player. Our fixed Q. size bed is at the rear, and too far from the small tv screen. I may also fabricate a narrow shelf board along the front ledge with drink holder holes. Maybe the designers don't actually live in them. |

Good looking rig. We love the 177 floorplan. LOL@ the late season snow. We just missed getting 4"-6" dumped on us last July at South Lake. Came down the mountain about 2 hours before it started. ------------- |

P. S. A number of us are planning a Sept. rally to Seaside in Oregon. Hopefully you might join us. Should be fun and one of our attendees has just returned from a trip from their home in Washington State to Alaska and back. They will be giving a fireside chat on Sat. nite, about their trip. Safe Travels. ------------- Camper Bob and Camper Sue Gracie the Wonder Dog (12 LB. Mini Dachshund) 2013 Rpod 171HRE(ORPod) 2016 Lance 1685 2015 Nissan Pathfinder |
