Calendar Event: About to buy a 179 Posted: 30 Oct 2014 at 11:15pm |
That's really good news! Our present camper, a Serro Scotty, gets picked up on the 12th, and we're putting down a deposit after that. We'll be driving out to pick up ours up hopefully before Thanksgiving.

Can't comment on the 179, but we're also in CT and bought from Couch. We got great service, warranty included, from Long View in South Windsor. No questions or hassles. Quick service. None of the garbage that the local dealer was saying would come way happened.

Love our 179!! Been on two trips with no problems. Agree with Leo B. Don't overload is good rule for any liteRV.

We have a 179 and love it! The R-dome fits fine and the axles are fine , just don't overload it.
We are presently finish up a month stay at Cape Hatteras in our pod.
I have nothing bad to say about the 179

Hi,
My name is Geoff, I'm in Connecticut. We're about to buy a 179 from a large dealer in the midwest. Savings are pretty substantial. I've heard talk about potential issues with the axle on the 179, and the R-dome having fitment issues. Does anyone here think those are something to worry about?
Thanks, Geoff
