Bigger kitchen vs bigger bath... I will say that the kitchen in the 180 is pretty much what we have in our 177.. perfectly functional for us, and honestly, we cook outside an awful lot when camping.

Good luck with your choice. Smile I am sure you will enjoy either.

The snoring is part of it Quieting that down is the benefit for my wife. I too have apnea, which is why I also have the CPAP. It would not have been prescribed only for snoring.

There are some very small machines now which would be great for travel. You may wish to talk with your sleep doctor about whether one of these (such as the Z1 or Transcend) would be adequate for you. They are currently the smallest ones on the market.

Thanks for the positive info regarding the CPAP. Evidently I have had this issue for a long time and did not know it.
Its not so much with snoring, I just stop breathing and as a consequence my BP gets pretty high.
I sure do not like being attached to a CPAP but, it is what it is.
I take several trips each yeah on a motorcycle and space is very limited and now I have this to drag along.
I am however glad to have found the problem and know there is hope in sight.
I am also happy to know its not much of an issue for the Rpod. We will be doing a fair amount of camping in locations without utilities and I need to plan accordingly.
I just purchased a Yamaha 2000 gen for just those times.
My wife and I have set a date that a decision needs to be made regarding the model we want. We are down to either the 180 or the 179.
Anyway, Stephan thanks again for your input.
Have a Great Day

Your concerns were the same ones I had when we purchased our R-Pod. I researched options and found that it is not a big issue. I did not find that the CPAP made a huge difference for me, but it does make a huge difference for my wife. She has had quieter nights since I started using it. Smile

I have heard other CPAP users state that it made a big difference in the quality of sleep. I don't know how bad your apnea is, but I hope you find it to be helpful.

Thanks for the reply and the info.

3 nights on batteries is good for sure.
