Has anyone here replaced their water pump with one that will generate more water volume at the shower head. The stock pump will only create a trickle from it. The other fixtures are fine. Maybe something in the shower head ?

Have you considered replacing the shower head with an Oxygenics shower head? I think you would find it much better with the stock pump.

Two areas to check: the most obvious is your shower head as there could be debris that has clogged the nozzles, the other is the screen that can unscrewed off the input side of the water pump.  That likely has debris or other items lodged in the screen.  Take it apart, flush, screw back in and see if the pressure improves at the shower head.

Hello BB, 
First of all, you're one of the few fellow "Ontario-ans" that I've see on this forum... welcome!
I had a similar problem about 2 years ago.  Suddenly, after using the RPod for a couple of years I had no water pressure in my "kitchen" hot water tap... the cold was fine, the showers were fine but just the hot water.  I disassembled the kitchen tap / hot water valve and found construction debris in the tap (some remnants of polyethylene film (probably from a bag) and a some plastic shavings (probably from the water tank fabrication)).
Once I removed the garbage from the valve I was back in business.
I would start with the shower head and back up from there.  For instance, if the water is flowing freely from the shower tap, then disassemble the shower portion.  if it's not flowing from the tap, then disasesmble the valves, etc, etc.
I hope this helps! 
Please let us know how you make out... posting the solutions helps the rest of us and it let's you celebrate the victory!:-)

Correction to the above hints: The screen is on the intake side of the pump, not the output side. It protects the pump from debris.

How do you get the bed to look so good?
I can't smooth it out like that.

Making the bed is an aerobics session in the 179. I get it the best I can and then put the quilt over it.

Hi , Boater here , we just completed installing the Forest River supplied 4 inch Lippert Axle raise kit on our 2018 178 .

Of course had to have the sway control / hitch system we use re done to facilitate the raised height . Also I will add 4 inches of blocks/ pads under the 4 trailer stabilizer jacks just so they do not go down so far .  After the initial kit  cost from Forest River , the  install was $250. re do sway bars $65 . Plan ahead however to find a dealer or service company to install the lift kit . Many are not familiar and will not do it . Took 2 weeks to get the kit from Forest River and they were extremely helpful . 
We not feel we are ready for National forest campgrounds , boondocking and any gully’s for surprises that come our way . 


Boater

I want to install risers on my 2018 179 and I have a few questions for you. 

Are the risers you ordered from FR. The same as the Lippert Risers? 
Did you order the risers directly or thru a Dealer? 
Did you install the risers or dealer installed? 
How long are they? 

Have you had any issues with them, since the install
