Hello. I am pleased to be joining this forum as a new r pod owner. We just purchased a 178 Hood River and have soooooo much to learn. I am absolutely excited and terrified at the same time!

Thank you in advance for the wisdom, support, ideas and laughs this forum provides. Hopefully I will have some goodies to contribute too :-)

Welcome to the group. We also have a 178 and love it we just did a 4000 mile trip to Texas and learned so much don't hesitate just do it. Have fun seeing the Landscape.

We just bought a barely used 2014 R pod 177 and are realizing how clueless we are! Just took it out for some backing up practice which was pretty hysterical. Looking forward to figuring out the ins and outs of the camper and for many fun filled adventures. Looks like this site is going to be a great resource. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone.

We don't even know where to begin journeying!! So many wonderful places to explore...

There are some pretty cool mods that seem to increase storage space in the 178. Did you find anything more or less beneficial in that regard? Did you install a shelf over the bed? Did you make any changes in the shower set-up?

Greetings R Podders!

After months of waiting - we are going to pick up our 178 on Saturday! We picked the 178 so we would have a "family" dining space but are a bit worried about storage. The Mods and other information on this website have been wonderful so really appreciate all of the tips.

Wish us luck - we don't know what to expect except that the mattress is generally agreed to be uncomfortable but otherwise folks are having a blast on their R Pod Adventures.
