A couple months ago, we returned after a hike to find a Winnie Drop in the site next to ours! It was the red, looked like it belonged in a fire station. The one thing I did like about it was the single black and grey water connection, but it was quite low. The owner was checking out my axel risers, as he said he has almost torn the waste connection off a few times. He also liked my stabilizing jacks which looked a lot more robust than his. It is indeed a copy of the pod, too bad they have to copy instead of coming up with something on their own.


Really, a single valve for both the grey and black water connection? Yuck,  I guess Winnebago never hear of siphoning which is why every motor home and camper I've know about has separate grey and black water valves. As for the drains being low well we RP owners don't have allot to crow about there since that's one of the "I wish I could change" features about out campers.

We were out for Cdn Thanksgiving camping this past weekend and noticed the Jayco Hummingbird at the campground which also looks remarkably like the 179... interestingSmile

More competition is a good thing. Brings more innovation.

I see that Jayco hummingbird introduced a Murphy bed option which is the first is this type of trailer
