Welcome and congratulations on your rpod decision! We bought a lightly used 2016 179 in June. We love it! The dinette works really well for dining and desk work. I find the couch comfy too! Storage is adequate for our full-time needs. And we like the wet bath! It overalls meets our needs and we're super happy with our choice. We wish you happy trails! And very cool Jeep!

I checked out your blog, wow what a great adventure!!  I'm jealous Big smile.  We've only been out twice and another trip coming up, but we liked all the same features about this 179.  It's a great overall balance of features and comfort.

Here is a pic of my Jeep Wrangler and my 178 trailer with the 4" riser. It has a Lippert axle, not the new Dexter with the new clocking. I would like to have an 8" riser fabricated to get more lift. I am also thinking of putting on some 30" or 31" tires. I am hoping this gets me enough lift to get into more remote camping spots without dragging.

I do love that color combination!  I see what you mean on the drop hitch height.  It looks like if you can move up by 2 bolt holes you could switch to the shorter drop shank and get back some of the clearance lost.
