Jeeperic that is a fantastic deal.  We just had our 171 pod delivered today.  We don't have enough miles yet to know about the black/grey water drain location being right behind the wheel and any damage from rocks and debris.  But hubby did put mud flaps on ours because we live off a dusty gravel mountain road.  He made sure to get heavy thick rubber ones that he could trim to fit at the top of the mud flap.  They look great.

So far so good!
We saw it advertised as used in the AutoTrader, so went to have a look. A friend's sister just bought one and praised it up. Ours is a 2014, and has never been slept in. The previous owner bought it on a whim, brought it home to surprise his wife, who (according to the dealer) 'wrinkled her nose at it', and said it was too small. He traded it for a larger one.
His misfortune turned into our prize! It's brand new at a used price!
All the comments from people along the way home have already put a smile on our faces. We love this little thing and can't wait to use it.

A question was brought up by other RVers regarding the black/grey water drain location being right behind the wheel. Has anyone had any problems with rocks or road debris damaging these outlets? I debating putting little mudflaps on the fenders - can't hurt..

Anyway, I'm a proud new owner and enjoy skimming through the forum reading about everyone's adventures and tips for the RPods.

Eric
