Thanks Jato. 
People that have traveled that far with an Rpod are the ones I want to hear from. 
Thanks for your offer of assistance.

Good to hear you are pleased with the 177.  We have owned ours since its purchase in January 2011.  We have logged over 53K miles on it with very few issues.  The only big ones were when we replaced the fridge with the same model number (the original lasted 10 years) back in 2020 at a cost of $ 1150.00 and then replaced the axle (too much camber on the driver side) in 2024 at a cost of $ 1200.  Other than that, the two of us love to take it for 30 day trips out west, as well as shorter ones in the northern Michigan area, where we reside.  If you have questions or issues, this forum acts as your 24/7 owners manual.  We have been blessed many times with help we have received when questions would arrive.]]> Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:35:29 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16402&PID=155368#155368 First Trip Out 2026 : I have been working on a 177 about... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16402&PID=155365#155365 Author: ppine

I have been working on a 177 about 10 years old this winter.   I took "Terrapin" out this week to the woods at a California State Park.  Everything works but the ceiling fan.  Fix that next. 

The rig fits everywhere which is why I bought it.  It is definitely compact but keeping things organized helps a lot.  I wish the bed was a few inches longer.  I am getting used to sleeping at an angle across the bed.  It is cozy and reminds of sleeping on a boat.   Not as well insulated as some larger rigs but overall very satisfactory.  The low was 34 degrees.  Making coffee got the rig up close to 50 degrees.  Next trip will be soon.
