 Topic: Interesting Video on R-Pod ConstructionPosted: 05 Nov 2014 at 10:51am |

Just discovered this on YouTube. It offers some insights on construction and is probably worth a view for those heavy modders.
I am particularly fond of the teamwork demonstrated on positioning the roof into place @ 4:27. |

Best video I have seen so far of a r-pod factory. You could see by the video the roof around the AC is able to support the weight of two adults. We don't own a r-pod anymore but was interesting to watch. Have searched for factory video of the V-cross Vibes being constructed but have not been able to find one. Thank you, for posting the video.

I noticed that as well, two guys on the roof. It's almost essential to do any serious A/C work, I don't know how one can access the unit from a ladder leaning against the side. Has anyone been on their POD roof? Is it solid?

Thanks, Cliff. I hadn't seen any vids showing as much as this one. Good catch!

Great video. I'd have like to see where they do final inspection and testing.

Great vid, thanks! I noted that the pods shown all have a tongue wheel attached to the front jack. My '15 178 does not and I noticed at the r v show last spring that none of the models had one. anyone know what's up with that?
