Welcome to the group. I've been a member since B4 purchasing a 179 last August. I started well prepared due to the good people on this forum, best support you can find. After 6 trips out we are better than novice campers and this is our 1st camper. Enjoy, and get past any difficulties you may have, in the end a night out in the 179 is worth the effort.
    
Good luck and stay on the forum for the best support, the experts here give away help you can't get on any paid forum or support network.]]> Thu, 15 Jun 2017 21:18:22 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10122&PID=95065#95065 New 179 : How do you find towing with your... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10122&PID=95041#95041 Author: kenkolen

How do you find towing with your Jeep? Are you using a weight distribution hitch?

The choice was easy for us. The "G" part is a cute extension, but it doesn't really match the way we use our R-pod. Also, the garage takes up a lot of indoor space that I like to have on the inside of the wall. It seems to me that if you are doing a lot of weekend camping with outdoor picnics and such, the garage could be the way to go. You have to ask yourself those questions.]]> Sun, 11 Jun 2017 20:58:03 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10122&PID=94847#94847 New 179 : My Maxair came with detailed install... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10122&PID=94819#94819 Author: mcarter

Congratulations and welcome! That is something your dealer should have helped you with. Other than that, you could search for an installation video for the Maxxair vent cover.

Hello. Just bought a 2018 model 179.  Also purchased a Maxxair vent cover but cannot figure out how to install. The 2018 model has four hooks in the roof where the brackets should be attached. I assume the hooks are to be used with a vent cover but cannot figure out how.  Anyone have the answer to this? Thank you.  Linda]]> Sun, 11 Jun 2017 14:35:41 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10122&PID=94807#94807 New 179 : Decisions, decisions!

Hello Forum,
I was talking up the r•pods (180G) when I visited my cousin in early April.  (Cousin has put 10s of 1000s of miles on his Nash and little Casita over 17 years). A month later he calls and said he is a proud owner of a rpod 179!
  Dead I'm so jealous!  Tongue
   He drove it from his home in Calif. to my home on the Oregon Coast and we took it on it's maiden journey down the Columbia Gorge, made a loop from La Grande, John Day, through the incredible Cascade mountain range with it's many dormant volcano peaks, then back to the coast.  I now love the 179 for the inside storage, big kitchen, and largest slideout dining area. He loves the electric lift, the Hood River higher axel clearance, large wheels, and...the big kitchen. It was just fine for two, non-couple people. The dining converted to a bed and I was very comfortable even with my bad back. 

After camping in the 179 for a few days, I'm now waffling between the 180G and 179.  The 179 has more floor room for my big dog & little dog and 179 has the ward and pantry storage inside. I WILL be an owner within the year, but first I need to prepare a parking pad & get a truck. ..AND decide between 179 or 182G!!  What fun! Big smile

Thanks for this owners forum to keep me busy while I prepare for my first camper and rpod! Broken Heart
Newbie, LvyaRain

179 Owner here. You will like it. We have made two trip and have another this weekend. Love it.

Be sure and pay attention to all the things they will show you. Take notes or better yet video the walk through. A lot of stuff to go over. You will get very little documentation. I had to download most of my documents.]]> Thu, 08 Jun 2017 07:50:59 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10122&PID=94622#94622 New 179 : Thanks everyone we are excited... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10122&PID=94619#94619 Author: jonsey32
