The lift kit is a definite PLUS.  I would have had a problem dumping at a state park here in TX without it.  Also, you don't have to worry about scraping going into a drive with a dip.]]> Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:43:37 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1345&PID=11968#11968 Got our 177! : Welcome rvrman !

Welcome rvrman !
 
A lift Kit adds about 3 1/2" to the bottom of the Camper.  Does not sound like much BUT well worth having it as the R-pods sit low.

I was in Charleston today. I dropped my 173 at Camping world for some minor warranty work. You should come to the Caroinas Round-up In September.

The bag is to go over the propane tank  (wooden bottom at the top)  Just keeps the tank from getting nasty.  

The sewer hose we stored in the long black tube at the front of the trailer near the propane tank.

We are also new to the 177 and are happy so far. The only problem we have had is a wire was loose on the water heater causing the LP water heating to not work but fortunately a simple fix.
Can anyone tell me what the white bag with the wooden bottom (velcro on the side but sewn at the top) is intended for? Another question. The sewer hose and such come in a 5 gallon bucket which is too tall to fit unter the beds or in the storage areas. Has anyone an especially good solution for the storage of this hose?]]> Sat, 04 Sep 2010 13:29:22 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1345&PID=11762#11762 Got our 177! : Welcome everyone.

We have done little things.
Adding the hole and prop rod for the dinette storage lid.
We have the lift kit and need to get them installed.
The r-dome had to be replaced which Seven O's did with no problems.
We also installed a expanding shower rod above the slide out and bathroom walls. We will add some sort of curtain so there is a little privacy for the dinette bed.
Tire covers added this weekend.
We have suction cups to mount the r-dome to the camper. That we will try this coming weekend.
We have been to Seven O's 3 times since we saw you guys and you would not believe the R Pods that they have sold.
Good luck and have fun.
Stay in touch.
Chris from Cortland.

We haven't done too many mods.  We did add a screen to the screen door to prevent the dogs from going through it.  Found one on amazon, not a perfect fit, but does the job.  We are curious what mods people have done.  We plan to add the slide out cover, and likely the lift kit.  Anyone have other things they have done that they recommend?]]> Sun, 29 Aug 2010 09:19:40 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1345&PID=11613#11613 Got our 177! : Welcome to nypod, and sp-ph! ... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1345&PID=11610#11610 Author: techntrek

Congrats! We bought our 177 about a month ago and have been slowly doing things to like , like screens for the exhaust covers and also put a faucet on the fresh water drain.  Not familiar with slide cover or carpet inlay. ]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 20:57:32 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1345&PID=11589#11589 Got our 177! : I hope you have enjoyed your 177.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1345&PID=11588#11588 Author: nypod

I hope  you have enjoyed your 177. We were the ones that picked up the other 177 the same day.
So what have you done to yours?

We picked up our 177 this weekend!  Hello to the people who picked up the 177 as well that morning in Syracuse!!  Gave it a good run towing back to CT on the hottest day of the year!  We are so excited to try it out for the first time next week.  My neighbor wants to move into it.  


Seeing what the other couple had gotten put on prior to pick up...vent fan cover and slider cover, we were wondering what other add ons people have done that might not be instinctual to a tent camper who is converting.  

Also, anyone try the carpet inlay yet?  Thinking it might be nice to preserve the floor and be more comfortable for the dogs.  

Thanks to Magan at RV Way in Cicero NY!!!!
