Hello, this is our first post. My wife and I just bought a used 2009 172. We wanted to redecorate a bit to brighten up the interior. The brown and beige was too much so we decided to:
1) Paint the cabinets white, 2) Put in some new wallpaper, and 3) Re-upholster the dinette cushions. Painting the cabinets was easy enough   My wife choose a wallpaper that looked like wood slats but in beach colors  The cushions were interesting. I reused the original foam but covered it in a blue canvas that we got from Joanns Fabrics - $6.99 per yard and 11 yards left me with some extra in the end. The flat cushions were wrapped like presents and secured with sticky backed velcro.   The curved cushions were more challenging. I stripped the old cushion covers, measured the top bottom and middle pieces and then cut the same sizes from the canvas. I borrowed a friends portable sewing machine. (I have never used one before). After a 10 minute you tube video I was good to go.  I re-used the back of the curved cushions because it already had a zipper and my sewing skills are limited. The last pic is an over view of the finished area.  As you can see I also covered the fridge door in the wall paper. My wife is picking out curtains, and I will cover the valances with the same blue canvas. Hope the pictures show up correctly...

Slide out switch protector With 10 grandchildren, we were concerned that the slide out switch was just too close to the bathroom light switch on our 2017 R-Pod 179. Accidents seem to increase with little ones around so I decided to put a protective cover over the switch. This prevents anyone from mistakenly moving the slide in or out. I purchased this cover on Amazon for less than $6 and it installs using the existing wall plate screws. Very quick and easy.

Hello!
We have had our 179 for a few months now, here are our mods so far:   Changed the back cushions on the Dinette  Replaced stock mattress with this one:  Removed the second ottoman on the Dinette 
Still more I want to do. I would especially love to have a window in the door! I would also like to add a shower extender, a second entry step, relocate the spare tire to the tongue...my list goes on and on, but between now and then I am just loving our Rpod!! |

How did you attach the shelves to the back since the walls are so thin?
Thanks, Debbie Crawford |

Opener? I do not quite follow your question? As for screwing into the wall, I've used two methods.
1. Around the windows and storage access doors there is aluminum framing. Use a stud finder to find them and you can use self tapping screws to secure items. 2. Crown bolt hallow wall anchors. (see Stephen H mod page.) size #6 - 32 x 1" work great. Pre drill into the wall only about 1/2 inch max. then push the crown and bolt into the hole. remove the bolt and fasten item with said bolt. I used this method for the cup holders. Backed up with command strips and it seems to be holding strong.

How did you screw into the wall of the pod? I would be nervous of the opener not having enough structural integrity from repeated use.
