If you're talking to me, my husband installed it for me. We ordered the window from Ebay. The first hole was the hardest! I love it. You can't see in but can see out. It's like a great big peephole. And it does let light in.

As the assumption that the graphic of your R-Pod is accurate, how did you get that nifty port window in the door? Standard issue for that model? I'm picking up my 2011 172 in a few weeks and sure wish that it had more light in the front end of the unit.

The term "axle riser" is a bit of a misnomer. The axle riser does not raise the axle at all. It raises the pod an extra 4" or so above the axle.

How can there be a sink in the bathroom and stay the same length? Maybe they can make a Toy Hauler edition as well...would be cool.

Fact: The R-pod HRE is built out of the Dallas, OR plant and will be sold only in the Western Markets. The product is designed to have a more aggressive look and will come standard with the Diamond Plate rock protection, Axle Riser Kit and Mudster tires. Call a western dealer for more details.

I spoke with my dealer today. We won't have the diamond front or the off-road tires. He stated that was a market test in the West only for about 100-150 units to be sold West Coast.
The rest of the upgrades we'll get. I especially welcome the black water flush Thanks all. |

Uphillracer, for only $300 more it sounds like a wise choice to get the Hood River Edition I thought it would cost more. I like the looks of the HRE better. Congradulations on your new Pod! David and Danette

Yes there is a new one for 2011.
I was negotiating the purchase of one with Jeff Couch and was told about the "upgraded" changes that sounded good to me including the ones you mentioned and blackwater flush mechanism. THe increase in price came to $300 and I think the POD is better for the changes from the sound of them.
We will pick ours up next Friday
