Did you not like the 178? We just got our last November and love it for just the two of us. Congratulations☺

The differences between the 178 & 179 are probably mostly personal preference and maybe the number of people you are sleeping.

If you need a slightly larger dining area and/or there are 3 or 4 travelers, you might be inclined to the 178.

If there are only 2 of you, and you don't need the larger dining area, then the 179 might be preferable.

The 179 does have more open floor space and storage cabinets as well. That plus the larger slide out makes it feel roomier.

Thank you. We loved the 178 but the storage inside for us older folks just retired is why we updated. Just love the rpods all of them.

We are also retired and preferred the 180.  The RV is our escape from kids so we are not taking passengers.  We are too old to carry our stuff to public facilities and the dry bath was a must have.  We mostly cook outdoors or go to restaurants so did not need the big rear kitchen.  We do need more storage and looking into raising the bed to add two drawers and other mods people have posted to add more storage.

Congratulations on your new pod 179! We full-time in our 179 and although sometimes it feels really small, overall we are so happy with it! Happy trails!
