Welcome to the PODING world.  I am sure that you will really enjoy the 177.  We have had our 177 for two years and have found no problems with it.  We like the extra butt room.  Be prepared to show the camper wherever you go.  People think they are "cute" and want to see inside.  Best wishes for a happy experience.

There is a company in Wisconsin that makes an awning that uses the slide for the R-Dome and two posts.  Not quite as slick as a regular awning, but less than the Dome.  Perhaps one of the admins can help finding that thread.

We also have the 177 and love it.  For the two of us it is quite comfortable.  I had one of the big guys camp next to me last fall, and he came over when I was outside.  He said he laughed when he pulled in and saw our Pod, but when he looked it up on the internet he found that "it has it all."  While we often feel like guppies among whales we know it has what we want and that is what is important.

Just purchased new leftover 2011 R177 single slide.
I have been a sailor for 40 years. Blue water trimaran 38ft. and crusing catamaran 40 ft.
But now I've gotten too old to hoist the sheets or grin at the gale.
I tried a motorhome but didn't feel "in touch" with nature. I think this camper will help with that and be a lot better than sleeping on the dirt.
It doesn't need to be roomy, I'm used to cramped berths and galley's.
My tow truck is a gold 07 Tacoma 4 dr. TRD with tow package.
The reason I bought the R-Pod is simple. The folks here are both happy and friendly.
That speaks to a good product.
I live in Tallahassee Florida and will be going to the National Parks. People in RV parks are just not my kind of folks. Nosey and smug with their little yappy dogs. I have an Aussy and love critters of all kind.
Of course I have questions but only two. (So far).
Boaters name their boats. My trimaran was named "Breaking Wind" and my cat was called
"Bow Movement". Did you name your pod? I was thinking "Doodle Bug" or "PokeyPod".
Second question. I didn't get the R-dome screen room. Has anyone put a regular RV awning on one?
I'd need to know where the metal wall studs are located for sure.
Salute.
