By the way:  Dixie is beautiful. 
Just being my usual silly self Smile.  I like the new graphics and I hope you get a chance to use yours soon. 
 
Thanks for the complement/Dixie.  She is a good looking Shepherd, if I say so myself.....but SPOILED ROTTEN!

The 'pod's heater and A/C are both oversized, considering the small space and over-insulation.  I would bet that leaving the door open overnight would keep the dome comfortable.  I don't think I would try this if it got down into the 30's (the heater would stay on all the time) but maybe in the 40's or above.
 
iamsmonk - that was my worry, that you would have to be careful to unplug anything.  Have you used the small sink yet?

Brewsterivy - yes, you could put overflow people in the dome at night.  It really keeps out the elements and I suppose most critters as well.  There's plenty of room for a couple of cots, sleeping bags or lounge chairs.  It's every bit as wide as the pod and almost as long!
 
Techntrek - the outlet under the bed is hidden by the slide out when in the closed position.  We will be sure to unplug anything there before traveling.

I like the new graphics, too.  I don't like the new sink - it takes up a lot of space in an already cramped area.  I'm curious if it is easy to wash your hands in it, or if you tend to spill a lot of water over the edge?  Question about the outlet on the base of the bed - does it get covered when the slide-out is closed?]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 10:40:36 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1528&PID=12949#12949 Finally some photos : Congratulations on your 177 and... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1528&PID=12945#12945 Author: psaman

Congratulations on your 177 and the pictures too!! The mods are great also. Love the new graphic scheme. We bought our 177 in July and it has the old graphics, which is fine. Really wish we could have gotten the spoiler though. Anyway, we love ours and know you will too!Approve]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 15:12:18 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1528&PID=12945#12945 Finally some photos : Thank you for sharing the pictures.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1528&PID=12944#12944 Author: Hawkeyes

Thank you for sharing the pictures.  I love your new camper.  We have a 177 also, but 2010.  Have not used it yet, had to go right into winter storage.  Still have to buy the R-Dome.  Thanks again for sharing!]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 12:40:55 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1528&PID=12944#12944 Finally some photos : Hi Iteach5th, The thing on... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1528&PID=12942#12942 Author: iamsmonk

Hi Iteach5th,
 
The thing on the sink is just a small dish drainer.  It wasn't actually supposed to be on the sink, but the sink cover did come with the camper.
 
We love our new 177 and hope you do too!

Cool pictures. I ordered my 177 a couple of weeks ago. The dealer is holding mine til spring. What's that round thing covering the kitchen sink faucets?]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 09:02:32 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1528&PID=12940#12940 Finally some photos : Thanks for the photos..that is... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1528&PID=12937#12937 Author: Brewsterivy

Thanks for the photos..that is the exact model I was looking at last week.  I really liked it, and even though the sink is tiny, it is just perfect to wash hands.  I am glad to hear you were able to put the dome up easily. Do you think it would be suitable for someone to sleep in (just in case of an overflow of people)??

Ok, we picked up our new pod on November 19th. Our dome (which came with the pod) was backordered.  It finally came in and we were able to pick it up todaySmile  We finally got a break in the frigid weather, giving me the opportunity to try my hand at the dome for the first time and get some photos.  We have the 2011 177 with the new graphics.  It looks just like the new Hood River Edition with the exception of the diamond plate, knobby tires and raised axles!
 
Here is the outside:
 
 
 
This is a closer shot of the rear spoiler with LED lights;
 
This is the new sink in the bathroom.  Can you say "tiny?"
 
The curtain covering the storage space under the bed.  Hides shoes, etc.  It's a valance on a tension rod.
 
The stove cover/cutting board I made.  It's not permanent, just in case...
 
I strapped my 5lb propane cylinder that I use for the Coleman stove on the tongue beside the battery.  Perfect place!
 
This little guy is on the window on the door side of the pod.  Is't he cute?
 
And finally, photos of the dome.  I was amazed at how easily it went up.  I took the advice found here about sanding the rough spots in the track, tightening up the screws inside the track, slightly bending the track opening to make it a tad larger and using silicone in the track.  I had it up by myself in no time at all.  About 10 minutes.  The hardest part was trying to fit the darned thing back into the bag it came in.  I've decided since I have plenty of space inside the pod that the dome's new home will be a rubbermaid tub.  That was I won't have to fret over folding it to fit into the bag and if it happens to get wet during inclement weather while breaking camp, it won't make a mess if it's stored in a tub.  I have a smaller bag that will hold the roof supports and the shock corded poles that form the curve in the dome.
 
 
 
So far we are thrilled with the pod but not real happy with Mother Nature.  Unless we get one of those freaky warm weekends soon, it will be spring before we get to take our maiden voyage at a real campground.  But if Ms. Nature does smile on us, we are packed and ready to goWink
