I just noticed the slide side wall on our 2018 RP-180 is beginning to sag. I contacted the local dealer (Avalon RV in Medina, OH) and asked about purchasing the outriggers. They did not have them in stock, but took my order for 6 of them on 4/11/2023, and said they would have them drop-shipped to my home address. The cost was $7.54 each plus tax and shipping. 

Today, 4/14/2023, the package containing the 6 outriggers arrived!

I plan to install these myself, per the helpful instructions posted by John Marucci in this video:


I'll post my results here when done.

Thanks for the information!

I just stumbled across this post and have a question for you.  Did you provide spec's for them to create the outriggers or was it something that they already had spec's for and you just had to order?  How long ago did you get the?  

Since I'm going to be in the Fenton, MO area in a couple of months was thinking I could maybe order and pick them up and save some $$.  

TIA.

Sounds like more of a “repair” in their minds. My deflection was much smaller. Good luck to you.

I mean I asked for the brackets and was just going to do it myself...I was told no.  There is probably 3/4" drop over 5" so that is pretty drastic in my book...

Update! They’ll be sending me an outrigger kit. They wanted to verify that there was not excessive deflection or damage, so I sent a bunch of pics. I also went the extra mile to describe what I’ve done to the trailer for maintenance and improvements so they’d know I’m a capable DIYer. Catching bees with you honey!

I ask for an update every 30 days for my 190 and I always get a snippy response.

I sent my info and pics for my 178 to Tina about a month ago. I reached out to her last week looking for an update. Her response was that they were not scheduling warranty service for 178's just yet but would hope they would be picking up my coach around the end of July and have it for about 4 weeks.

So, it sounds like they schedule the service work my model. I had no idea that they were going to pick up my coach. I'm glad I don't have to drive 5 hours one way to drop it off and another picking it up.

I'll keep you posted.

Most likely they are going to put you in the warranty work pipeline and they have no clue when they will be able to fix it.
