I thought this was a "WISH list" thread. I guess your wishes have to be approved by others? Sorry i'll try not to rudely interrupt your day.

The sofa wouldn't work in the 179 floor plan because the bench of the dinette is the bottom of the slide. A lot of people have put an aftermarket jackknife sofa on that bench; a factory option for one would be nice.

Most every camper on the road has the back squared off, I'm no expert, but I would doubt that would make much difference, if any. I would be willing to give up a mile a gallon to gain all that head room, perhaps and overhead shelf across the back.

So there are plenty of options for you, aren't there.  You can easily get one like most of the campers on the road, and us Pod fanciers can have pods.

My wife would not care to give up either the wardrobe or pantry space so we will stay with the wet bath in our 179. However, for those wanting a dry bath in a layout like the 179, it looks good.

Wow, I love that floorplan for the 176. I would buy that for sure. Now if they squared off the top rear, it would be perfect. I think they need to get started on this.

mjlrpod, how about this?  I think they could add in some oval shaped TV trays at either end of the sofa that swing in from the sides. Almost like an airline tray but nicer. 


I think the 172 is too narrow for the dry bath without the slide out
