Congratulations on your purchase Newman. Yosemite is beautiful. We are anxious to get our Pod out for a shake-down soon also. We went to Walmart today for some essentials. I won't pick our 179 for a week or so. I'm having them install two 6 volt deep cycle golf cart batts. I figured I better have them do it now or I will most likely procrastinate...lol

I'm still thinking about a slide topper but I will wait for a while..

Good luck with yours.

Steve

Hi Steve, Congrats on your new 179. Looks like we both bought a 179 on the same day. Like you, we haven't picked ours up yet but hopefully we'll get it later this week. We've got reservations in Yosemite in April and I'm hoping we can get at least one local shake-down trip in before then. In the past week I've gotten a lot of help from subscribers on this site. Hope you find it helpful also.

Thanks

You can get quite a bit of RV gear at WM.

Something we consider a necessity is a shelf fence:

We use them in the fridge and in the pantry of our 179 to keep things from moving around and spilling out when we open the door.]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2017 11:47:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9213&PID=86899#86899 Rpod 179 : Copy that...I've heard Walmart... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9213&PID=86873#86873 Author: Steve 911

Congratulations! Most of what you NEED can be purchased at Walmart, if you choose.

1. Dump hose
2. Black tank chemical (I use the liquid "orange" type)
3. A WHITE fresh water hose (for potable water)
4. Wheel chocks

Use the WHITE potable water hose ONLY for hook up to city water and/or filling the fresh water tank. Use a "regular" garden hose for black tank flushing, etc.

As mentioned, you'll kind of figure out what you need and want, as you go. A good "test" is to camp in your driveway or yard for a night or two. One thing that I recommend is a small first aid kit...it comes in handy.

Scroll down to the 4th item, maintenance, tips and tricks or just look in the upper right where it says 'topic search', click and then type in what you are searching for, quite user friendly. We have been helped many times on this forum, many experts out there who have been doing this a long time. Enjoy your new toy, our new toy is nearly 6 years old and in the 'hibernation' mode but soon the massive snow will melt and we will once again be able to go out and explore this great country.]]> Sun, 15 Jan 2017 06:39:39 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9213&PID=86839#86839 Rpod 179 : hi all,We finally took the plunge... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9213&PID=86836#86836 Author: Steve 911

hi all,

We finally took the plunge and bought a 2017 Rpod179 today.

I can't wait to get it home so we can learn all about it and plan our first adventure out this spring.

Is there a place on this site where I can find a generic list of must haves for newbies just staring out? I've already ordered a pressure reducer for water line, and filter. I know I should obtain a surge protector. I figure I will discover what I need as I go, but would like to have an idea of what accessory items others use initially...

Thanks in advance for any feedback..

Steve
