    Do you think it would fit an R178?
    How much are you thinking of selling it for?
    Here is what I did on my last trip a week ago

    I have a 176. Did you end up with the pahaque visor? I’ve been looking for something like that. Since my rpod is the hood river edition with the lift even a 10x10 pop up is too short to be able to set it next to the camper. Oh and I got a lot of use of my AC this weekend in 95 degree weather!

    Thanks, haven't had that issue but that's not something I would want to deal with. Going to look into it since mine line has been custom made to order.

    Nice camper! I'd have to look into haven't even thought that much about it just yet. Biggest issue will probably be the weight shipping. What's your camper specs year ECT? Looks newer than mine.

    Out camping again. Not enough signal for a pic though. Beautiful morning off another lake. Maybe my favorite campground yet.

    Another trip in the books. We bailed early this morning prior to the heavy rain. Was a good time. Ran into power issues when we arrived at the site. Make sure when you power up the camper before touching it to grab your NCVT to see if it's safe. It may save your life! We ended having to move sites due to the issue.

    Here's a link to the best explanation I know by the RV Doctor. http://www.rvdoctor.com/2001/07/friends-of-gary-mike.html?m=1

    Also added while at camp a new bike rack to the back of the camper. More on that though later.

    As mentioned i got the Haul Master bike rack from Harbor freight a couple weeks back. It is rated for only 2 bikes and up to 100lbs. Came with an adapter for smaller to 2inch receiver hitch. The RPOD on our camper is smaller so we did not need the adapter. The hitch on the camper is only rated for 150lbs.
    1. Easy to assemble and install.
    2. Function - has a removable pin to make loading/ unloading easy.
    - Overall impressed for the cost.

    Product was great, down side is the location on the backside of the RPOD and it wanted to bounce around a bit. I recognized this before initial drive out with it and tied rags around parts that would bump into the back of the camper which prevented any damage.

    Edit, added a pic.

    Another good weekend camping. I was almost to exhausted to go. It was really hot almost 100 which wasn't fun. It was a new campground, our site was not the best but we saw a few cool sites we want to go back for later.

    Well folks sold the POD, made the jump to a small class C. This was a plan we just jumped on it a few years earlier is all. It was a good little POD.
