• 2017 R-POD HOOD RIVER 177

This R-Pod 179 has been upgraded for actual comfort and extended off-grid capability. The spacious rear kitchen has been optimized for extra storage. It includes a spacious refrigerator freezer that operates on propane, 12v battery or 120v shore power. Slide out adds extra space when camped. Lavatory and toilet are colocated within the wet shower. Dinette space converts to a small bed for kids or pets.

Key Upgrades & Comforts:
Premium Sleep: Upgraded to a Swedish Coil Mattress (massive improvement over the thin factory foam).
Off-Grid Power: Dual battery setup paired with a Portable Solar Charger for extended stays without a generator.
Dual Propane Tanks: Double the capacity for heating and cooking on long trips.
Outdoor Living: Includes the R-Dome Awning/Tentessentially doubling your living space.
Rock-Solid Stability: Upgraded to heavy-duty scissor jacks on all four corners (eliminates the "trailer shake") plus an Electric Tongue Jack for easy hitching.

Maintenance & Extras:
New tires.
Utility: Custom installed full-size drain hose holder (replaced standard tiny holder).
Climate Control: High-efficiency Air Conditioning (standard on this model).
Weight: Ultra-lightweight and easily towable by most SUVs/Crossovers.

The "Custom" Advantage:
Unlike factory models, this unit has been modified for maximum storage. We replaced the bulky microwave with a dedicated pantry/storage area and removed the TV to prioritize battery life and the "unplugged" experience. We made new drawers and added shelves that make better use of otherwise wasted space.
