Shocked  My wife and I are way excited to pick up our 172 from Horn's RV in Sheboygan, WI.  We have been tent campers for 10 years and are looking forward to a little luxury while visiting beautiful places, not to mention getting our 6 month old son his first camping adventure.  We get ours Saturday - photos to come soon.

Does the r-Pod materials and walk through all the ins and outs of the water system.  Seasoning / winterizing - all new terms to me when all I had to know about was the care of nylon.  Is there a good site or book to speed me ahead and minimize costly mistakes?

Welcome to the group.  We saw your 172 sitting on Horn's lot on Monday.  Looks nice.  Horn's does a nice job walking you through the Rpod.  If you have a question while they are going over something, ask right away so you don't forget.  Take notes.  There are DVD's out there that you can order...http://rveducation101.com/.  Good information for the beginner, like us...LOL.  It's easy to forget when you store it for the winter.  We love our 172 and Horn's has been great to work with.  Enjoy your new luxury.

Congratulations!!!  and welcome to the forum.  Enjoy your  first trip.  Ask lots of questions and take notes.  Sway control and brakes IMO is something everyone should have.  Safety comes first for you, your family and everyone else on the road.  Looking forward to your pic's and report on your trip.

Looks like a 2010 model with new graphics.  All black with some blue background???  Or is it just the camera and my computer that makes it look different?
