We are used to pillow top at home so  went to KOHL'S and purchased the foam w/ pillow top topper.Pricey but well worth it as we are living in our 171  for the next 5 months!  as far as the "pockets"  pain in ^**(. I took the bedroom ones down and in the bath you can't get to them as you are showering so went to bed bath and beyond they sell a vinyl shower curtain WITH 7 pockets facing inside shower for $ 20 !

We also bought a 2012 177 in March of this year. We have gone out a few times and plan to hit up campsites all over New England. It is a perfect size for the two of us and we've done a few modifications. We haven't had any problems with it but we do want to change out the mattress soon. I hope you enjoy yours as much as we do. I used to live in California and miss the warm weather!

We too are in California - just got our R-Pod 177 yesterday!  What are some of the places you've been so far?  We're doing Malibu for our maiden voyage on Saturday.

Still trying to figure out where to put all my stuff that I pulled out of our pop-up camper, does anyone have any suggestions or a list for efficient packing?
Here a couple of photos:
Out with the old and in with the new!


Sounds like us. We have a 2005 Niagara Highwall and although I really like it I am getting tired of all the setup. I am really struggling because the pup is paid for and the R Pod 178 that we are looking at are still pretty expensive.. My nightmare is that I sell the pup and end up not being able to afford the new trailer Sleepy

If you are still lurking on this forum, how are you liking the 177 now that you have had it for awhile?
