Hello all, we just picked up a 2017 179 and are getting her ready for initial trip. I have to put a tow package on my '07 Tacoma (Oil cooler, trans cooler, brake controller and 7 pin tow plug), but that's a lot cheaper than buying a used TV. She's a great truck and will have a 6700lb tow capacity then. The R Pod is very clean and everything seems to be working, we'll be driveway camping tonight.
I look forward to reading all the posts and sharing and asking for info. I joined some of the groups on FB as well, Podders seem to be a great community!
Happy camping Smile

Congratulations and welcome! I hope you have many fun adventures and make many great memories with your RPod 179. We have the 2016 RP-179 and have enjoyed it very much. I've done a number of modifications (see link in signature). The 179 lends itself to modifications and making it uniquely yours.

Thanks Stephen, I will check yours out. We've seen many Pod Mods already, planning to extend the bed with the underneath plywood mod this weekend so we can sleep better. More to follow for sure, thanks!

Glad to have you aboard.  Definitely change out that mattress, if it hasn't already been done by the previous owner.  Otherwise you will likely have a sleepless night.  Good call on having your 'maiden voyage' or shakedown trip in your driveway.  Enjoy that 179.
