Thank you.
What would you call it, so that I can search for it?

It's been awhile but I think it was Amazon.
Removing the redundant sink in the shower created some extra space as well.

I am interested in the extension of the shower.
Where do you get the track.

Yeah, I was thinking of mounting it on the boxes that form the dinette benches.

are you thinking of putting one in you r-pod 180? where?

I'm thinking of replacing the dinette, opposite the slideout.  I usually sit sideways on the dinette bench anyway, but the vertical wall is not comfortable at all, and the window frame is a jabber!

Thanks!

Is there an intermediate stop for the sofa back, between vertical and flat (horizontal)?

Do you have a link for the one you installed?  It looks good and functional.

Good luck on the sale!

SOLD -----Located Albuquerque, NM -- more details & pics: https://post.craigslist.org/k/AAgZKAK87BGCDLrSoQvpAA?s=preview

Lightly used 2017 Forest River R-Pod 179- only used for about a dozen weekend trips locally in NM and 2 four day trips up to Colorado. Total towed mileage has to be under 5k miles and that includes the 1k miles from OH back to NM when originally purchased.

This is the model with the large rear kitchen. (wife requested) It has the nice Thule awning.

This Pod has many improvement mods (thanks to this forum, lol)
Exterior-
* 3 inch Hood River factory lift for off road use, longer steps added to the door
* heavy duty high speed rated tires w/ steel wheels to replace the marginal original tires (and spare) These are 15 in. D load rated vs 14 in. C load original
* dual propane tank conversion & large steel storage- battery box added to tongue area (2 full propane tanks)
* Ultimate Jack added for quick hook-up & go (plus it allows you to open the tailgate on a pickup truck while hooked up, original did not)
* solar panel to keep the battery charged while boondocking
* camper cover
* fresh water tank drain valve, replaces factory plug you need to crawl under to access

Interior-
* Multi cushion dinette mess replaced with leather jackknife sofa sleeper, retains table for eating
* enlarged bathroom- sink removed and large u-track added for shower curtain
* upgraded kitchen sink faucet, glass look vinyl tile backsplash
* added extra shelves in pantry
* 4 inch memory foam queen bed topper, super comfortable
* flat screen tv with Roku
* fully outfitted w/ pots & pans, toaster, coffee maker and more

There's probably more but off the top of my head that's all I can think of right now -  We have a one year old grandson that we watch while the kids work (and another on the way) so probably not any camping in the near future.
