js555, have pics learning how to upload. I used the 6 foot metal wire shelf from Lowes - attached above curtain boxes to wall, with 3" angle brackets and #8 screws into drywall anchors. Did NOT drill into aluminum frame, I only use for storage in rear, stuff in small boxes. In front I used the wire corner shelves and supported them across front with a 1 3/8" closet rod to carry wardrobe. What I am working on improving is - I used tie wraps to attach to angle brackets and closet rod, serves purpose but I would like to improve.]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2017 15:48:47 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9180&PID=86665#86665 New to the board : Gorgeous photo! http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9180&PID=86636#86636 Author: Neserk

Nice unit!  That was the first thing I noticed (after the dogs) was that the wheels weren't chocked.  First thing we do upon setting up is to level side to side or wheel to wheel.  Once that is accomplished we chock both wheels so there is no chance of rolling. Then we disconnect from the TV.  Since we boondock quite a bit we often have uneven ground to work with.  Chocking is a necessity for us.]]> Thu, 05 Jan 2017 20:29:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9180&PID=86518#86518 New to the board : Always chock before you release... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9180&PID=86507#86507 Author: mcarter

Always chock before you release it from tow vehicle. If there is the slightest incline it will roll that direction. I have wife apply brake from tow vehicle until I am chocked and in some cases have leveling jacks down, the last think I pull from tow vehicle is the electrics plug.]]> Thu, 05 Jan 2017 16:59:44 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9180&PID=86507#86507 New to the board : Originally posted by... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9180&PID=86506#86506 Author: mjlrpod

Thank you guys !
I am so happy to have bought one of these.
The dogs love it as well... and man do they love to cuddle up in that bed !
M.Carter I look forward to seeing your pictures and ideas. Mostly worried about the type of screw to use without going through causing leaks yet making it strong enough.

Cheers

Hi all,

I just purchased a 178 and I could not be happier. I can not wait to get back in it already after my first trip during xmas.
I have a few questions and looking for ideas, shelves... how strong are the panels on the inside of the pods to screw in shelves ? I would like to add some in the kitchen area and over the bed for clothing.
Any ideas or suggestions ?

Thanks
