Pulled it over 6 hours with the Toyota FJ Cruiser....pulled so nice!!! Got sleepy pulled over at Cabela's and slept in it on the way home!!! everything else is almost MINT!!! |

FR still has "some" replacement decals, last I talked to them (Aug 17)
The number one spongy floor fix seems to be to add Laminate flooring over the factory linoleum. Our 2011 never felt soft, but I have been in a couple older pods that did feel that way, and the Pergo etc helped a lot. ------------- |

We planned to strip our 177 and then have a custom, vintage style set made local, if ours ever got bad enough. But as of when we sold it last month, only a couple were starting to look bad. ------------- |

thanks!!! cant decide the slide side decals are perfect and the front decals are OK... just the side where the door are are faded and coming off.....which looks bad. But the complete set is cheaper what a couple replacement decals.
