Topic: New 171 owners Posted: 09 Oct 2012 at 8:01pm |
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

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.

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

Welcome! We just picked up our 171 yesterday and will be taking the first trip next week. Looking forward to hearing about your pod.

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.

Hello fellow pod'rs, We just purchased a new 177 for our cats and we are hoping that they will allow us to use the pod for a few trips early in 2013. We purchased the pod in Fremont, Ohio and had a wonderful experience with the dealer. We camped on the return trip and everything went fine. We are not new RV'rs but we hadn't had an RV for several years so we need some reminders. Thanks to the forum as you all reminded me of things I should remember!!
We are towing with a 2008 Toyota Sienna w/towing package and the rig seems to work well. We purchased the bike rack and R-dome. The cats have ask that we watch the weight of our supplies and such so they can take plenty of food & toys along.
Hope to see you on the road
