Amazing!

The pictures tell the story - but a few words about the specifics would be helpful. For example - what is the extra black tank for?

Really nice mod. I am putting this on my to-do list!! It would make it a lot easier to de-winterize for a winter trip, and the re-winterize afterward!!

When it comes to winterizing, I've decided to make it more accessible to add the pink stuff.
Here's some before and after photos of the plumbing on our 179.

I've made several mods to my 2010 RPOD 172:

  1. Cutting board stove cover

  1. Installed carpet using remnant Flor carpet tiles for around $2 each, super easy to install

  1. Velcro'd a mud boot tray at the entrance of the RPOD

  1. Added a bunk bed rail guard that leaves about a foot of space to place a ladder

  1. Installed curtains on lower bunk using a spring loaded bar and two pillow cases.


  • Installed a hitch to carry my spare tire up front, leaving room for bikes or cargo box in the rear. I used this adapter without modification, so it might move. If you can drill new holes to accommodate the smaller bumper that is ideal.

Dave, Use the Full Reply Editor (arrow in the boxes) and a photo hosting service like Photobucket (free) and post a direct link in the Insert Image icon...

New owners of a 2017 r-179 and made the following easy mods but it makes a big difference.

1. Corner tension bathroom caddy.  Make sure you buy one that is not a one piece pole but has 3-4 pieces as to adjust the height correctly we didn't use 2 of the poles.  We were on 30 miles of bumpy rock road and it stayed put.

2. Paper Towel Holder - used a small (6-11 inch) adjustable tension curtain rod.  Found at Lowes and it comes in a two pack.  Used for side lights of doors.  I do have to remove it when the slide is in.

3. Toilet Paper Holder - The wet bath can be trying to find a good place for the toilet paper.  I used the other tension rod in #2 and put it under the sink.  Roll it up while taking a shower and it didn't get wet.
