I currently a 2014 Rpod 171 that I was toeing with a 2011 Sienna AWD that had 3500 lb. tow rating ,but have now upgraded to a 2015 Toyota Hghlander which has 5000 lb tow rating.The only real compliant I have with the 171 is access to the queen bed for myself and my wife for night bathroom visits,is it easier to move around without disturbing each other? Thanks.

After five years in our 171 I understand what you are saying. It was about the forth year I ended up lowering the dinning table and sleeping there and letting my wife have the rear queen bed. That worked out great for us and wish I had done it sooner. Sorry I can't answer your question with the 179. ------------- 2018 Vista Cruiser 19BFD (2018- 2012 Vibe 6503 (2014-2019) 2009 r-pod 171 (2009-2014) Middle Tn 2014 Ram 1500 Quad cab |

we have a 179, it is a bit easier, because the slide out give you some extra room. We used to have a 171 and found it to be an improvement. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Depending on how tall you are, some 179 owners have had luck sleeping "north south" by adding a little extension on the "end "of the bed.. ------------- |

On our 171 I added a grab handle on the left wall (as you get out of the bed), and we always set up a 2-step step stool at night, right in front of the fridge so I had a place to step on after stepping over my wife. Still wasn't easy. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

| Try using a small folding stool from Bed Bath & Beyond. Place stool at base of bath wall. With your right hand on sink corner swing leg over and place right foot on stool. Then in one fluid motion lift body and left leg over other person. Landing in front of sink. Works for me. Podner |
