Congratulations and welcome.  We are just finishing our sixth trip since taking delivery of our 2012 171 HRE in May.  We are finishing a 2,600 mile trip from Portland OR, to Bryce and Zion National Parks.  Have had a fabulous time.  No problems at all.  Will recommend using the flush device on the side of the trailer for the black water tank.  The sensor for that tank is invariably incorrect.  In any event, enjoy and Safe Travels.

Looking forward to hearing about your pod.

That colder, harder ground is much the same as the plot to get less light from lightbulbs.  Really annoying!

Welcome! I'm quite new too. Haven't even picked up my 176 yet (this Fri 10/12). I also found a lot of information in this forum and am anxious to take my Maiden Voyage and see if any of the mods would suit me.

We finally gave up our tent after a few inclement trips this summer and last week we bought a 2013 171 from Nelson's here in Boise. (Besides, the ground has gotten harder and colder every year, it must be related to climate change and not the increasing number of birthday candles.) The inaugural trip was much colder than forecast but we're exceptionally pleased and I even managed to empty the tanks for the first time without looking like a character from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. 

I've been lurking for a few weeks without registering and I want to complement everyone on the helpful and informative posts. I've already put some of the tips to use and am compiling the mods to work on this winter (LEDs, bench storage mods, etc.).

Thanks for the help.  --Jim
