Can't say enough good things about the folks at Travel-Mor. We bought our first 151 from them a few years ago and had received good service for the very few complaints we had. So we headed back when we were interested in trading "up" to a 179. Our biggest concern was being able to put up the dome given we are both 5'3" and all the 179's were on risers i.e.. 10 ft tall..(We wanted the extra hight for our travels on gravel roads etc). We had used the dome extensively on the 151 and wanted to do the same on any new trailer we bought. So we asked if we could try to put it up ourselves before we bought.
Sure enough, the Travel-mor folks were comfortable leaving us alone for an hour in their show room while we put up and took down the dome a couple of times (using different stools and ladders). It was great. We were able to reassure ourselves that the 179 not only met our needs and wants, but also that we could "handle" it ourselves with ease.
