POD MODS?

[blondie]

We just bought a 2015 178 RPOD and would like some suggestions for a new owner to add storage, convenience, and beauty.

We went for a weekend trip and it was great except TV reception was spotty.

Lot of us have done a LOT of things over the years, new windows, new cabinets, different floorplan modifications. Some have added, others have removed things.

If you can think of it, one of us has likely done it to our Pods by now.

?
So have some suggestions been shared on here or do I go somewhere else? Reinvent the wheel?

I don't understand your answer.

there are a lot of mods done by owners. when we first bought our pod 4 years ago I went through every rv forum that I could find about modifications. search the internet for "rv modifictions"-there are lots of forums. there are forums from Good Sam Club, Woodall's and lots of others. Just read trough them and you will get lots of ideas. Two of the best forums are specific to R Pods

there are many, many ways to mod your pod, from easy to amaziing. enjoy your pod and don't hesitate to change it.

Inside speakers were super easy, just swap out, got them from amazon...With the outside speakers, i had to make a housing to attach the ability for the deeper and bigger speakers
