Welcome! You will enjoy the 177. Are you new to camping or RV camping? All I need when camping is a comfortable lawn chair and some cold beverages for around the campfire. Oh, and a coffeepot for morning.

Here's some non-'Pod related advice-

Keep two lists.  One list is "Things We Need to Get".  The other list is way more important- "Things We Can
Do Without".  The R-Pod is an amazingly comfortable RV, but it has minimal, (but adequate), storage.  You
can do quite well if you are efficient in your planning.  As I like to say, "A roll of quarters, 
(for the campground washer / dryer), takes much less space than three changes of clothes.

Welcome and enjoy. Before going on your first true trip,camp near by for a night and see how everything works. You can even camp in the driveway. Great way to find out what you forgot to pack.

Welcome.  Yup, Camp Driveway is a great way to figure out what you need.
