Picking Up 179 Monday,

I was wondering what the walk through spacing is when slide is retracted, since some quick overnight late possible wally world or fred meyer stops may happen, in route to destinations, and want to be able to get to the other parts of the Pod, like the facilities with slide retracted.

I have a 180 and yes you can move around, not much but you can.

It will depend on how you plan on carrying your table. If you strap in on top of the couch like some folks do, you will have plenty of room to walk by and you will be able to open the bathroom door. If you strap the table next to the couch, you will not.

What Leo said.

I've used our bathroom in a similar situation a few times.

We often stop to picnic while traveling with our 179 and without opening the slide you have access to everything except the cabinet door to the right of the sink as you face the sink.

Congratulations on your 179!
I concur. We keep our table strapped inverted on top of the cushion with the tie-down strap over the bar. That way, we can easily get through and open the door to the bathroom. The dinette ends on either side of the table provide a place to sit if we want to stop for lunch but don't want to set up the table. As was stated above, the only things not accessible with the slide retracted are the cabinet to the right of the sink and the storage area under the cushion next to the bed. I added storage space to the end next to the refrigerator (see my mods). That is also not accessible with the slide retracted. The two dinette ends could be if I were to add a door on the side or end of each of them instead of just having access through the top.
