Just bought an 2011 R-177 at Economy RVS in Southern Maryland, took it out for its maiden voyage over Memorial Day with only a few small issues.  Had a blast, more room in it than you think.
 
Just took it back up to the dealer to fix the entry step, which sheared the studs and nearly threw me underneath the wagon....not that I'm petite or nuthin', but really?  Also had a small issue with the LH burner not burning through the stove diffuser, but from underneath, and a few small "attention to detail" sealant issues.....but overall, I'm havin' a blast!
 
Light enough to haul behind my 2008 Rubicon 2dr too!  Oh yeah, my wife Tammy loves it too!  I wonder if I can claim this thing as a marital aide?
 
Turned lots of heads at the local campground, no one had seen one before...shoulda charged admission!
 
Lookin' forward to meeting some of y'all on the road!  When's the next east coast pod-in?
 
Tank sends.....

We also did our maiden voyage with our new 177 Memorial Day weekend. Hope you love yours as much as we love ours. We won't be making any east coast Pod rally's but if you want to come to the upper Midwest we'll get together.

Just made my first trip in the 177, too.  And like you, I just love it!  So much easier than a pop-up.  Enjoy podding arround!

Welcome!  There is a thread around here about a NE get-together.  I was already going to be at a family reunion August 10-14 in Ogunquit, ME and I think others here are going to piggy-back onto that for a roundup.  We still are waffling on the campground, I hope to have an answer tomorrow.

I see you've discovered that 'pods lead to tours and meeting your camping neighbors.  Its happened to all of us!  Feel free to post a review of your dealer in the Dealer Review section.

Welcome to the forum and to Podding! We spent the Memorial weekend on the Delmarva peninsula at Janes Island State Park.   Nice place, we posted some photos in the adventures section. Love to see some of your journeys.
