We drove by there yesterday on our way from Florida to the south suburbs of Chicago.  When we lived in Schererville, IN Pete's RV was then Rollin' On RV, at the corner of US 30 and US 41.  I used to purchase most of my RV parts and accessories there since it was only a few miles from our home.  Sure brought back some good memories of the Midwest.

Thank you all for not making fun of me when I said a TV came with our 179.  I have now figured out that a TV is a Tow Vehicle, not a television.  Our trial run to the beach is June 21.  Looking forward to it.  Will try to take photos to share.  Thanks again.

John, we just picked up our 179 at Couch's a few weeks ago and drove it to Colorado last week. Our TV is a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with V6 and tow pkg. I've pulled larger trailers for years and always used a WDH. Not needed with the Pod. It pulled beautifully with only an anti-sway bar I installed myself. About 800 miles into our trip, my wife asked "is it still back there?"  Not all vehicles tow alike, but the Pod only dropped my TV hitch about an inch and the vehicle and Pod are level.  Whether driving across the plains or pulling up into the Rockies high country, the whole rig handled beautifully.

Pete's was not there during our 35 year stay in the area.  Rollin On and Campland were the only RV dealers in the immediate vicinity.  Times do change.

You must have gone to Rollin On in Schererville.  That used to be our RV dealer until we moved from Schererville to Florida 12 years ago.

We picked up our 2014 R179 last weekend and a tv came with it. Hubby towed our R Pod home from Schererville, IN to the gulf coast of MS with our 2013 Honda pilot with no sway bar and no problem. Our mpg dropped to 12 traveling at 65 to 70 mph. We are not 4wd. The transmission cooler was installed, and he also had a brake controller installed. Pulled great.
