We have a 176 and this is our second season out an we love our baby. I do have an interior layout question for everybody and specifically 176 ( or units with slide out and bath opposite of each other. Our bath door opens from back of trailer to front making it allot harder to get in there from front and even more so when slide out is in. Looking at FR floor plans it shows the door swinging open from front to back making it easier to enter from front of trailer? Anybody have this issue? Any ideas why? Did they mount door hinges on some to swing counter intuitively then redesigned? maybe wall strength. I imagine I could just switch but would probably have hinge screw holes left on the other side? ------------- 2012 Rpod 176 HRE 2005 Trailblazer EXT 2004 2007 Daughters Ageless Wife oh and a awesome dog |

My 176T bathroom door swings front to back. I can get into the bath with the slide in. Was just in it last night! ------------- Todd and Beth 2013 RP 176 T 2013 Nissan Pathfinder |

The 2013 brochure shows opening front to back. FR motto: Let no two pods be built the same. ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |

Yes that motto is what gives each and every pod its own "distinct" character.... That why most podders name them.  ------------- 2012 Rpod 176 HRE 2005 Trailblazer EXT 2004 2007 Daughters Ageless Wife oh and a awesome dog |
