My only comment is that you can put the axle risers on the 171. I have a 178 so I'm kind of biased there.

I've only made one camping trip in my 2010 171 but I'm considering a trade for a 2015 178. The reason(s) are: 1) the 178 has the raised axle for additional ground clearance (and I'm going to be in some "gnarly" places occassionally), and 2) my dealer is offering a fair trade.
I wonder if any Pod owners would care to comment about the pluses and minuses? I'm aware that the 178 is slightly longer, has the slide-out and weighs about 300 lbs more than the 171. I'm towing with a Silverado so that shouldn't be an issue. I would appreciate any input.
