My wife and I just picked up our new 180 on Thursday! We're so excited! My wife doesn't get that excited about RV-type things but when she saw the dry bath in the 180 she shouted "We must buy this!" Getting it all set up this weekend and hope to take it out in the next couple of weekends. I've already done our first modification by adding a 12v USB/outlet panel under the dinette seat by the door.Easy to do and it works great. Already starting our repair list for the dealer including the back of one of the drawer slides not being attached to the frame which is an unfortunate quality control over sight. So far all the mechanical and electrical seem to work fine and I'm lining up a 100 watt solar panel to add for our boondocking adventures around Northern Arizona. We had the dealer install two 6v batteries so we should be good for the long weekend camp trips we like to do.

Can't wait to get out there!

Welcome friends. May you have many enjoyable years and experiences with your 180. We are beginning year 7 with our 177, been a great and dependable unit for us. Curious as to what you paid for the two 6v golf cart batteries and what their amp hours are. Thanks
