Going to Omaha tomorrow to pick up our new 177. Very excited, this will be our maiden voyage with any kind of camper so lots of unknown ahead of us. Glad to have the wealth of knowledge in this forum to help us along.  ------------- Michael & Edye from Denver 2014 177 2003 GMC Envoy |

We just returned home from our maiden trip with our new 177 and things could not have gone better no issues towing and everything worked on the pod. We hope you have just as much fun and smooth sailing! ------------- r-GRIZ-pod |

We are planning to pull the trigger on a 177 tomorrow. You say you picked it up in Omaha, so I assume you purchased it at AC Nelsen, which is where we are getting ours. Like you, we live in Colorado. What was your experience with this dealer? I tried purchasing a 177 from Grand Junction as well as Denver, and neither could come within $6,000 of AC Nelsen, so it looks like I'll be driving east. The other thing that saves us money as Coloradans purchasing in Nebraska is that we only have to pay the 2.9% state sales tax when we register them, as opposed to paying the county and local sales taxes. Seems pretty dumb on the state's part, since it encourages buying big-ticket items in other states, but I'm not complaining! |

Not to hijack this thread, but noticed the Omaha pickup location. I just picked our 178 up yesterday from AC Nelsen, drove about 5 hours from the Joplin, MO area. I had a great experience: very friendly, efficient and no pressure to purchase extended warranties, starter kits, etc. Was told these things were available but no pressure whatsoever. In talking with our salesman, he said they were a high volume dealer and have buyers from all over the US. Not that I didn't believe him, but it's nice to see some others that have made the trip to Omaha. I hope your pickup goes as well as ours did!

We had a great experience at AC Nelson. Mountain rev we found the same thing here in Colorado. Nobody would come anywhere near their price. They were ready for our walkthrough when we arrived. Very friendly and helpful and no high pressure to buy extended warranties. Looks like quite a few from Colorado going there. Our contact there told us of one other buyer from Colorado. Worth the drive to save that much $. ------------- Michael & Edye from Denver 2014 177 2003 GMC Envoy |

Good to hear. I just got done wiring the tow vehicle for trailer brakes (no tow package on our Durango, and our old popup didn't have brakes). Heading for Omaha on Monday, doing the paperwork and walk-through Tuesday morning, and turning around and driving straight back to Colorado that day. It will be a long couple of days, but I can't wait! Unfortunately, I'll be going solo since my wife can't get Tuesday off. ------------- 2014 177 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Turbodiesel "I lift my eyes to the hills."
