Great mods, Grand Pod. Did you have to brace the mud flap on the driver's side in any way to keep it from sailing and hitting the sewer fittings? I want to do this mod but have a concern about that.

I didn't brace the mud flap; but you could. I used 4 1" stainless steel bolts and washers on each flap. The mud flaps hang down 93/4" from the bottom of the fender and there is at least 4" from the bottom of the mud flap to the sewer pipe if it was straight out so it wouldn't touch the sewer pipe. Just finished 2384 mile trip with no problem.
I did have to notch out for the r-dome skirt track on the passenger side.
Each mud flap measures 91/2" wide by 12" long before mounting. Got 4 out of a mud flap from NAPA.

Have any 177 owners considered collasping shelfs under the windows ? The kind that when the supports are folded the shelf swings down ? I think Ive seen one here, but can't remember where ....

 Here's the table we built & I use all the time. It has a card table bracket on the side that lets it go flush against the wall so drawers can pull out when tables not in use & it also has a locking pin on the left that locks it to other counter for strength in holding crockpot or ect. One of the most used mods we have yet to do to pod!!!.

Like the mods. Can you tell us where you found the hinge for the cabinet over the sink. The one we bought is too long.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you but was in Cancun Mexico all of last week on family vacation. I bought the hinge at Lowes. It is a Gatehouse Lid Stay; Part number 0311972 left side . Welcome to the forum.
