Thanks. My better half has retired from teaching and I retire at the end of the year. We look forward to traveling the country in the Pod. ]]> Mon, 20 Mar 2017 05:52:38 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9440&PID=89505#89505 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9440&PID=89499#89499 Author: birderdiane526

Congratulations and welcome! We retired, bought a 179, got rid of just about all of our possessions, and went full-time! Happy retirement and Podding to you! ]]> Sun, 19 Mar 2017 22:33:19 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9440&PID=89499#89499 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9440&PID=89497#89497 Author: rawest50

Here is the video. The dealer may have ordered mine with 15" wheels. My shades operate up and down. A ruffled shade.

15" tires
A few more exterior lights
Propane connection for a grill
Sink is flush with the counter with insert cover & stainless steel
Awning which you mentioned
I think the stove cover is new also
There may be a few more. I think there were 9 in all.

I know the blue 2017 come with the Thule awning, but what are the other upgrades?

Be prepared to give tours!  We have been doing that for 6 years now.  More often than not curiosity seekers want a "peek" inside.  Nine upgrades, wow!  Our 2011 probably looks pretty basic compared to what you are getting.  Since we normally boondock we even special ordered ours so it doesn't have a/c, microwave/convection oven or entertainment system.  Even after 6 years we are happy with our decision, the pod is a great little camper!]]> Wed, 08 Mar 2017 22:07:50 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9440&PID=89044#89044 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9440&PID=89034#89034 Author: rawest50

It is the latest and greatest. Has about 9 new upgrades over the 2017. Mine is the 1/2 year Blue addition. Roll off the assembly line in late February and bought it the 4th of March. Doing a lot of looking for info from experienced RV campers. ]]> Wed, 08 Mar 2017 16:47:32 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9440&PID=89034#89034 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9440&PID=89033#89033 Author: jato

Enjoy that "new" 179.  I still am working full time but get to use our 177 about 30 days/year.  Have been doing that since we purchased it in January 2011.  By the way, did you actually purchase a 1917 model or is it a lot newer model year?
