Welcome Ruby, we're glad to have you here and out there Podding with us all. The 177 is a great floorplan, I'm sure you'll love it more and more each trip you get to take in it.

Always nice to see another Wisconsinite here. What part of the state are you from. We are from Mayville.

I think we need a Wisconsin weekend next year. Any good organizers among the Badger State folks?

Welcome aboard Ruby great choice the 177 got mine in july. Three camping trips to the smokey mountains with my girls and two hunting trips, I absolutely love mine, and the forum is a wealth of information and exceptional people. ------------- A bad day hunting/camping/fishing is better than a good day at work, especially in a a 2014 Rpod 177 :) |

My guess is that we both had the same dealer. We bought our 177 from Horns RV in Sheboygan. ------------- Keith-N-Dar Boris & Betty (Boston Terriers) 2011 R-Pod 177 2010 Ford F-150 |

Yup, bought it from Horn's. They were ok. I like the layout of the 177. It fits the 2 of us perfectly. Pods are also sold in Sturgeon Bay. About the same price. ------------- Ruby |

I like Horns for their attention to detail when they set ours up initially. Also have had service work done at Horns and they are quite good. I tried to buy stuff from the same dealer that has a location in Sturgeon Bay and they were quite rude. It was one day but enough to convince me to go elsewhere. Glad to have you around. Maybe we will bump into each other next season camping in Wisconsin.

I liked horns too. The only issue I had with them is when they installed the sway bar they tightened it too much and when I got to the campground it was bent pretty bad. They were good about it and are replacing it. ------------- Ruby |

If you ever get up my way they have a nice WW II Heritage Museum in Superior with a P-38 similar to the last P-38L that Bong flew. ------------- Bruce & Donna in the Sno Pod (and Brewer too) 2011 RP 177 |
