Tip: Make sure your Amazon Prime account is in good order. Have plenty chocolate chip cookies for John, the UPS guy (your UPS name may vary).

178 has been a great layout for us. Enjoy!

Congratulations on your new 178.  I hope you have a great summer podding with it.  Also in terms of a Manual bikeella is right....the dealer supplied copy doesn't really do it....but....on this forum there is a Manual for Pods that has been painstakingly complied by one of the forum Stalwarts....find a post by Techentrek and look to his signature.   You'll see the link.]]> Wed, 29 Mar 2017 15:24:09 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9568&PID=90144#90144 New 178 Owner : Congratulations and happy trails... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9568&PID=90137#90137 Author: birderdiane526

I just bought a 178 and had a good walk thru at the dealer, but I expected it to have a manual for more detail. It doesn't. It comes with a general manual and not specific to the model, so I have questions about how to operate things. Like there is an on/off switch on the panel as you enter the door. Not sure what this is. Maybe for the power to operate the water pump?? I haven't done anything with that since it is still winterized. The slide and radio/tv works without it on, so maybe someone can tell me. 
I do love it and looking forward to use it, but first I have to learn how to tow it and back it up!

Welcome to the group!! Congrats on your 178!! I would recommend getting a very thorough walk thru, having the tech, demonstrate everything. The fridge/stove/ac/furnace/tv/entertainment system and video the demo. It is a lot of info to try to remember.]]> Wed, 29 Mar 2017 06:08:51 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9568&PID=90091#90091 New 178 Owner : Looking forward to Friday when... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9568&PID=90084#90084 Author: FarmerFam

Looking forward to Friday when I become a new rpod owner.  Any tips or mods anyone would like to share about their rpods, especially 178 owners?]]> Tue, 28 Mar 2017 20:00:46 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9568&PID=90084#90084
