While on my trip to Nashville, I noticed that one side of my Rpod looked lower than the other. I always check the tire and hub temperature by feel every time I stop. I measured the fender clearance from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender. There was an inch difference side to side, but the Rpod looked level.
The fender on the driver's side is mounted lower than the passenger's side. The passenger side fender is mounted above the lower Rdome channel, while the driver side is mounted on the bottom of the trailer edge. This makes the fender clearance different side to side. Anyone else notice this? I may move the driver's side fender up. It just bugs me. ![]() |

I haven't gone out to look at mine and maybe the reason will be obvious when I do, assuming my fenders are also a different heights, but I give up. What is the reason? My guess is it has to do with the slide or plumbing but please tell!

I just figured it would level out with the wind from all the passing vehicles!

Well at least there is a reason- my Aliner had all sorts of stuff crooked, mounted off level etc.
I even peeled most of the factory graphics off it as they were crooked as heck on one side- bugged me to no end. Even the tailights were uneven, one side was 4" in from the edge the other 2"...gotta love American workmanship. We don't need no stinkin' level or tape measure- we'll just put one eyed drunken jack on the line. ![]() |

Looking at the fit and finish on my. New 178 I think the blast through assembly pretty quickly.

I go to my dealer every year and check out the new pod's, the quality since we bought ours has definitely deteriorated.
