Hello all,
We jumped on the bandwagon and purchased a new RPOD 178.We had a Class C years ago when our 3 boys were growing up. Now that there out on their own we decided to get back into camping . Perfect size for the 2 of us and easy to tow around.Love the retro look as well. This forum looks cool....Already have a mini 50 watt solar charger on the way (not a Zamp) and threw on a 3" mattress topper as this was mandatory for our backs . http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCDZOI0/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

Thanks everyone!
We had been looking at all kinds of TT 20 feet long or less for months. What sold me is the fact I don't need mirror extensions on my Truck along with the kitchen slide out. We also wanted a model that doesn't require the main Bed to folded down and made up each night along with the wrap around front dinette. By the way,probably been covered here before,but found the EXACT same cover Forest River offers for $150.00 on Amazon.FR wants $400.00 and our local Dealer wants over $500.00 Size 3 fits the 178 perfectly....... |

We have a 2014. 178 coming home from Alaska. Having problem keeping fridge cool in this 85 degree weather. Seems to cool well at night plugged into power but won't hold the cool. We bought a temp monitor that mounts inside with the reading on the outside and we see temps in the upper 40' and low 50 degree range. We have even bought bags of ice but they don't seem to make a difference. Anyone experience this? Any ideas?

Use propane mode going down the road. Too many variables when using DC mode for it to work right for many people.
