Boomer, I have not been able to weigh the pod do to snow, I also have not yet taken out the AC. I have mounted the nose and loaded it, so far the tongue weight is 285 pounds. I hope to bring the tongue weight to about 385 pounds when fully loaded.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

So with your mods - weight removed and weight added, what's your unloaded and loaded weight now.  
And what's your tongue weight now?
Mods look great.

Hi there,
Great Mods on your 172!
I would like to add the porthole windows to the bunks as well.
A little worried about running into the aluminum  wall framing. 
How did you know where to put the windows without hitting anything?
Drawings?

One way - keep an eye on your pod on cool mornings in the summer.  Condensation on the outside will be different where the supports are.



Or, just use an electronic stud finder.

Lefty, I mixed my own stain, I think I started with a medium walnut and mixed it with golden oak and mahogany.
