I'm interested in how you removed the upper bunk in your 172. We are thinking of doing the same. Do you have any pics?

Today on my 2020 Model 172, I installed a Micro-Air Easy Start inside the roof A/C.  It's a Dometic Penguin II, and incredibly simple with a large void for taping the device in place.  More simple than nearly all of the YouTube videos I watched about this.  Maybe 20 minutes and I was going slow.

Now, I can run the A/C on my cheap Pulsar G2319N Inverter Generator, which was $350 on eBay with free ship.  The device itself was $300 but for my needs is worth it.

I love the rear platform!  I need to build one for myself!  I have a 2016 R-Pod 179, so similar trailer.  Thanks for posting!

fully functioning rear lights, and I believe, they also operate as brake lights.  I can put a full size tool box on the platform if I want.

Thank you. Are those lights on the bumper or just reflectors?

Please post more details of your bumper in a Podmods topic. I would be interested in seeing how you made and installed this bumper.

My 2011 R-pod 179 is new to me.  I am the third owner so I don't know a lot about the mod.  It appears to be a manufactured piece made for an R-Pod. The two bumper platform supports and connecting beams slide right into the support beams  on the R-Pod and are bolted.  The prior owner has some black PVC pipes mounted to the platform to hold his sewer drainage hoses.  The vertical piece that I have a backup camera mounted to is essentially part of a bike carrying device.

I used the blue Styrofoam ( R 8 ) then covered it with laminate siliconed the corners. No drain we put the ice in a tub and what ever is wet we wipe it up

That is very cool!  

If you don't mind me asking, what styrofoam did you use?  Did you have to "seal" the surface of the foam?  And did you put a drain in it or do you just wipe it out when you're done?

Sorry for firing the questions, but I definitely see a mod in my future? :-)
