Hello, my wife and I just bought the 179 and have had it out twice so far. We love the bigger kitchen and more storage it offers. We went back and forth about the wet bath and are glad we decided on the 179. Enjoy!]]> Tue, 30 Aug 2016 11:23:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8686&PID=81412#81412 Newbie w/ Questions : Hey Wayne, For my wife and I... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8686&PID=81402#81402 Author: JGMM_BC

Hey Wayne,

For my wife and I we went with the 180. Our reasoning was we would rather have the full bathroom and a smaller kitchen. Most of our cooking is still being done outside (BBQ) anyway. The full bathroom is a plus because of the extra small storage in there and not having to have our knees up around our shoulders... LOL ;)

Welcome to the group! We are on our second r-pod a 179 really like the room from the slide out and the large kitchen space with storage. I agree the best method is to hit a dealership and hang out in each for a while, try out the beds etc and the answer will jump out at you.]]> Mon, 29 Aug 2016 11:56:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8686&PID=81358#81358 Newbie w/ Questions : Thx Stephen!

Thx Stephen!  Agree w/ that.  I have asked both parties what would be needed to "hit the road".. one has everything included that I could ever think of (they are getting out of camping), and the other I would have the clean water hose (they are buying a smaller camper)..

I  compare some of this w/ my experience of buying a used Harley that was well equipped vs a new one that I spent thousands on getting it equipped the way I wanted. Of course, it took me awhile to find the used one that had most of what I liked...

Even with buying used, there is no guarantee that you would not need to purchase some of the items that you would have to purchase if you bought new. It would depend on what the seller would include or want to keep. I hope you find something suitable. This forum has been a great resource. I got a lot of ideas here.]]> Mon, 29 Aug 2016 10:27:53 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8686&PID=81351#81351 Newbie w/ Questions : I agree on the price piece.. my... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8686&PID=81350#81350 Author: wtruitt

I agree on the price piece.. my "hope" was to buy used and prevent the need to buy alot of the items that come w/ purchasing a new R-POD...

I am so new to this that I don't even know what to ask.

A 179 and a 175 are very different campers. Would be best to spend some time in both, get a feel for how you are going to use it.. I don't know about dealers in NC, but at $13.5.. you are only a couple hundred dollars off what a new pod costs.. with warranty.. and newness.. in our area, and at Couch's... ]]> Mon, 29 Aug 2016 08:47:24 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8686&PID=81349#81349 Newbie w/ Questions : StephenH thank you for the reply.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8686&PID=81345#81345 Author: wtruitt

StephenH thank you for the reply. Your mods are ingenious and tastefully done!  Your comment saying "I'm not an expert, but I'm willing to try things" has definitely served you well. 

Hope we can meet up given our close proximity! Sure I can learn a huge amt from you!

Have you seen both of them? We have a 2016 179. It is just the two of us also. You are not that far away from us. We are in Wake Forest.

We chose the 179 because we figured that the larger kitchen with its storage was more desirable. You can look at my mods (link in my signature) to see most of the mods I have made. I will be adding more pictures and descriptions soon.
