Hi everyone, 

We just bought a 2018 177 rpod and couldn't be happier. This was an upgrade from a pop up we've had for the last 6 years.  Nice to not have to worry about rain or be crawling around all the time to get at stuff.  We did also upgrade our tow vehicle and are finding the Subaru Ascent to be a great tow vehicle for the rpod (we towed our 2300# popup with a 2010 forester). With the 5k/500# max weight of the Ascent, I feel it's a lot safer. 

This is a great site and we'll be sure to post mods--we did a lot with our popup and there are several I'd like to do (drawer under bed; spare tire, etc). Right now we're still trying to figure stuff out like why there is a video wire from the TV to the furion radio but the radio doesn't appear to have a video bluetooth capability....

We don't anyone who tows with a Subaru.  Most podders we know have pick up trucks.  But I'm always interested to know what can tow these campers.
