Dang, it's a never ending thing..
Another thing we have "done".. this is a 1 piece carpet set, fitted to the 177 pod. It was originally available from Forest River, but they dropped it from the catalog not long after we bought our pod.. I have no idea if these are still available. And most people don't want carpet in the pod/camper anyways, but we find it's easier for an old dog to stand or walk on.. |

Hi There! Could you tell me the model # of the CurrentWerks Duo that you installed? I see quite a few -- UI-2222-DLA, UI-2222-DW, UI-2222-SW, 2216-3232TRW, and more! I'm so confused

Finally got around to adding the dual LP bottle rack.. Unbolted the tie downs and such from the factory rack, then cut the welds holding the base plate with a side grinder, a sawzall would work also, then ground down the welds, spot painted the bare metal, found if I turned the new rack "backwards" (I think), I could even use the factory bolts and holes in both pieces.
Now to decide on a cover.. I like the hard ones with the little door in the top.. probably what we will go with. EDIT: yep, went with the hard cover.. added the cross tie down bungies over the lid, as on-line, many seem to have lost that cover on the road.. |

Added a 64 inch sewer hose holder, because the 15 foot Rino hose wasn't going even halfway into the factory tube.. lol. The sewer tube mounting holes are 64 inches on center.. the frame rails 61 and 3/4..
On the curb side I used rivet insert nuts into the bottom of the frame, then on the street side I made a bracket out of 2x2 angle, attached it to the frame with the same, then just drilled and bolted the tube to it. |

I put something similar on my 172. It was very handy. Unfortunately, I must have scrapped on a nasty road in Utah and tore loose one end from its bolds because, midway through rush-hour Salt Lake City traffic, one end of it began dragging. Passersby frantically motioned to me but I had no idea what they wanted. I pulled on shoulder and discovered the problem. I had to unbolt the whole tube, throw it in the back of the SUV ... from there it worked just fine.

When we got our 177 several years ago, I bought a 72" holder for a long waste hose. I've never seen them advertised but you can buy them directly from Valterra. You have to call and ask for them.
The 72" tube is a perfect length to fit inside the outside storage compartments. For our 177, the ends of the tube are available from either of the 2 rear cargo compartment doors. And, no, before you ask, it doesn't smell inside the rpod and, no, there are no nasty drips inside the storage area. If it had either of those problems, I can assure you that I wouldn't be using it because my wife wouldn't stand for it <LOL>. -- Steve |
