I do love that color combination!  I see what you mean on the drop hitch height.  It looks like if you can move up by 2 bolt holes you could switch to the shorter drop shank and get back some of the clearance lost.

Welcome and congratulations on your rpod decision! We bought a lightly used 2016 179 in June. We love it! The dinette works really well for dining and desk work. I find the couch comfy too! Storage is adequate for our full-time needs. And we like the wet bath! It overalls meets our needs and we're super happy with our choice. We wish you happy trails! And very cool Jeep!]]> Tue, 20 Sep 2016 19:53:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7907&PID=82613#82613 Dano's 179 Jeep Edition : Originally posted by computerfixitguyI... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7907&PID=82610#82610 Author: DanoJKU

Congrats on the future trade up!

My JK actually drives almost as nice as it did stock. You can tell it is a lifted offroad capable vehicle right away but it rides and floats down the road nicely for what it is. My 72 year old mom rode an hour on the highway and thought nothing of it other than climbing in with a step ladder.  LOLMy wife drives it just fine but loves her Mazda.  With front and rear solid axles, the Jeep is a purpose built machine so that in itself is a big compromise.  It's a lot like describing a lifestyle for those who never owned one.  The lift is a full suspension upgrade, 8 arms, 4 coils, 4 shocks, 4 brake lines and 2 trackbars. The key to the ride quality is my Rancho 9100 adjustable shocks. I run them in soft mode for daily driving and I turn them up to firm mode when towing. These Jeeps drive really nice with simple budget boost lifts too, I started out with one of those and I loved it. Pulling the lifted RPod seems no different than any other trailer, no sway or bounce or leaning. I hit a good balance with the equipment and set up, the Anderson is a big factor.

Thanks!  I wouldn't mind another couple of inches of frame height but I'm thinking 32 inch tires and wondering if they will fit without hitting the fenders.  Big smile

I happen to like the R-Dome but I see why people are frustrated with it.  After all the lift you did, does the R-Dome still go the ground?  

We found during the early summer months, the bug protection is crucial and it works well for that.  My kids have abnormal reactions to Mosquito bites so the R-Dome keeps the bugs farther from the door.  We went to Kansas and the bugs on the vent in the bath were so thick because of the fan I could wipe them off.  It was gross.


Yikes!  But no problem reaching the ground, plenty of room to spare actually.  I hate mosquitos... I think i have at least 100 mosquito coils in the RPod, I burn 2 outside every night at camp.  It helps.

Thanks Leo!  We did 2 camping trips already this month and really enjoyed it. 

Now it's time to integrate a real awning and replace the RDome.  It's ok but I want something easier, faster and more attractive.


And the best mattress ever...

Equipment List
  • Forest River 3.5" Axle Risers
I don't see how it would be safe to run the P235 tires without the axle risers.  Yes, there would be some fender clearance but not enough in my opinion.  It have not flexed the RPod suspension off-road to be able to offer an opinion on that, but I like the fender clearance and the frame height that the axle risers provide.
  • Prodigy P3 Brake Controller
**You need to order the unit with the correct harness for your vehicle or buy the correct harness separately**

  • Anderson 3324 Hitch (2 inch ball, universal brackets, 4inch drop\rise)
 **You may need 8 inch drop\rise version, measure for youself**

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009V70ZP8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

  • Anderson 3604 Camper Leveler

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GC2LVM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

  • 3 Nankang N889 Mudstar M/T LT235/75 R15 104Q C1 OWL (White Letters inboard)

  • 3 15x6 Black, Steel, 8 spoke Trailer Wheels
**I called them and asked them for a quote for 3 wheels (shipped) instead of 2.  I asked for 3 valve stems and 15 lug nuts, the OEM lug nuts should work too.  I already had chrome caps (I will paint black) but the wheels don't come with them so you can ask them if they offer them.**

http://www.ecustomrim.com/two-boat-trailer-rims-wheels-15-x-6-15x6-6-lug-hole-bolt-black-spoke-design/

  • Custom Backup Cam

Tools

I keep these tools in the RPod compartment in case they are needed for adjustment or repairs.
  • 1/2" Drive Breaker Bar
  • 1/2" Drive Socket Wrench
  • 1/2" Drive Torque Wrench
  • 1/2" Drive 6-Point Socket, 1-1/8"

  • Tire Spoon (it's not difficult to mount your own tires by hand, however, it's not easy if you don't have the feel for it.  Watch YouTube for help or take them to a shop)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J15LVS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  • Air Compressor required if installing the tires yourself, valve core removal kit might come in handy along with misc automotive tools.
  • Allen wrench for the Anderson hitch, see Anderson instructions download pdf.

And time passes... 10 weeks or so later and we finally get our 179 from the Dealer.  FR delays, Holiday week delays and shipping delays made this project a little frustrating.  The 179 did turn out exactly as I designed.  This is the first pic I took with the P235 Nankang Mud tires on 15" steel trailer wheels, the same wheel as the R-pod spare, and also with the optional axle riser.  I am also running the new Anderson Weight Distribution Hitch which has been very impressive so far.  It is really easy to install, easy to use and connect and it functions exactly as I wanted.  I can adjust it for the exact amount of sag on the rear of the Jeep.  Very cool product.  

So this makes me the first to build my own Hood River Edition with the new Axle clocking, but to me it's a "Jeep Edition." Big smile

I have a  24" coupler height which was right on the money for my Jeep and hitch.  Pictures of the Axle Riser, Anderson 3604 Camper Leveler and Anderson 3324 Hitch which is prefect for lifted trailers and tow vehicles, (Anderson offers an 8 inch drop\rise shank that would be better suited for some tow vehicle trailer combinations.)

My wife and I this winter went through the very same discussions you did regarding which model to choose. We spent hours over many days at the dealer setting in models we liked.
We are long time tent campers, been married 48 years and have 4 season tent camped through all of those years.
This is our first RV and we chose the 179. For our style camping and since there will only be two of us we thought it would be our best choice.
I have personally messed around with the sofa bed set up and it works as pictured in ones of the posts.
Good Luck


Thank you and thanks for that feedback! I was hoping that sofa-dinette would be able to sleep 1 person comfortably with everything lining up appropriately. I don't know if FR made a wrong move in the earlier models or not, but it is reassuring to hear from you both it works as expected... and is comfortable.    ]]> Tue, 10 May 2016 21:00:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7907&PID=74766#74766 Dano's 179 Jeep Edition : Originally posted by DanoJKUHi... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7907&PID=74763#74763 Author: Patriot Dave

I'm anxious to post a few questions while we wait and dive into some of the tech and mods discussions.

This is what our camping rig will look like based on a picture I took while still deciding on what floorplan would work best for our needs. TV is a 2011 JKU Rubicon 6-speed with a few upgrades.



I must admit, it took a very long time (2 years) to finally decide which model to buy, plus we are new to the RV lifestyle. We think the 179 offers the best balance of features and comfort.

I'll come back to this thread over the next few months and add some pictures and feedback of our adventures.

Now all you need is a set of wheels/tires like you have on the Jeep, and a black body wrap and you're all set :)

Oh yep!  Good eye.  I'm going to have to go mess around in them at the dealer again.  Which color scheme did you get?  I sort of like the new Latte scheme, but haven't seen it in person.

This was the picture I was somewhat concerned about with the 179 (2015 edition) that the owner had to add foam to level out the area due to the table being too high:

I found this on a 2017 search which really looks good, that back cushion should fit perfect in the remaining spot:

Those are good pics thanks! The 2016 seats that we saw didn't seem like they could slide under like that, in fact, they seemed solidly bolted to the floor. If the table in the lowered position is correct, then that looks like it will accept the back cushion and probably a thin extra cushion in the corner which would level the entire surface in to a larger sleep area. I sure hope the 17 has the design fine tuned. ]]> Tue, 10 May 2016 15:54:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7907&PID=74743#74743 Dano's 179 Jeep Edition : Here are 2 different 2017 179s.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7907&PID=74742#74742 Author: xfitpanther

Here are 2 different 2017 179s.  One of them appears to have the footstool things shoved up under the bench on both sides.  However, the other one looks"normal".   Has something changed from the 2016?
