That will be a good test towing with the Escape on the hills around Carrolton. You'll probably want to go with your F150.

Hello from northern Connecticut! My wife and I just took possession of a 2015 178 which we purchased after a single look back on Labor Day. We had always joked as the kids were growing up that once they were out of the house we'd buy a small trailer and travel to music festivals across the country. Last summer one of us trotted that out again and we realized, "Hey, they ARE gone, we could really do this!" The pod has been sitting in the driveway for a couple of weeks while we get acquainted, this weekend was supposed to be the dry run at a campground on the shore, alas the Frau went on the DL with a rotator cuff injury,so I'm taking the time to read up on the pod from as many sources as possible. Glad to see that this forum exists, the Forest River manual is little more than a list of things not to do so we won't sue them. Looking forward to learning from and contributing to this forum. ]]> Sun, 31 May 2015 09:51:33 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6236&PID=61046#61046 New Member / New RPod Owner : Yes, for some reason waiting... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6236&PID=60882#60882 Author: techntrek

Just received my cover.  Inside the cover box was a notecard that says if you go to ClassicAccessories.com/loyalty and you register in their loyalty program you will get a 15% off a cover.  Darn it.  To late for me but anyone who hasn't purchased a cover yet I would suggest registering first and then buy your cover.  It would have been worth $30.00 if I would have known.
On a good note I'm picking up my new 179 tomorrow.  YAY!

"Just purchased new 179 Model.  Looking forward to picking up from dealer in next couple weeks.  In the meantime I thought I would give a shout out to those looking to purchase a 179 cover.  Classic Accessories just added the Model 4 cover for the 179 so the door opening is in the right place.  Ordered yesterday for $208.00 including shipping.  If you want one I think you have to order from them direct as they haven't rolled out to other vendors yet (Amazon, Walmart, etc.)"

Mcclurey, do you have a website or any other ordering information for that cover.....???

If you are losing picture and/or sound watching a DVD, I would check the cable connections between the Jensen and TV. If yours is similar to mine, there will be a cable with 3 different colored "RCA" type plugs at the TV and at the Jensen unit. The Jensen unit would need to be removed, as the connection are on a multi-wired "pigtail" coming out of the back of the unit. The faceplate of the Jensen can be CAREFULLY pried off, which will reveal 4 screws holding the unit in the cabinet. Once removed, the entire unit will slide out of the hole.

If you are having problems with broadcast television, that may be another issue.
