Good point. 

 I forgot about that - moving the spare was the first thing I did when I got my 'pod home.    The spare is attached to the bed board.  Not only is it a lot of weight back there, but it makes for a very heavy lift when setting up the "bedroom".  I simply put it in the back of the truck.

  On our 171 we mounted the spare in front beside the propane tank it made a big difference with the tongue weight.

Would like to open the area above the stereo for books, CDs, DVD, what have you. Does anybody know what's behind this panel?
That button at the top of the remote?
That's the power button..press it.
Turn it all off.
Go outside!

Interesting, on the older 171's that area is wider and completely open, from the bottom edge to the top.  It has elastic mesh on the front.  But, the entertainment unit was mounted underneath the cabinet and not in it.

hmmmm- the cabinet to the left isn't revealing anything, nor are there open shelves to the right facing the dinette. There's nothing on the outside of the Pod either. Sooooo- out comes the chainsaw!!!!! fine- a small exploratory hole...

I pulled the entertainment center out and there is nothing behind that panel, just wires.
