Interesting Video on R-Pod Construction

Originally posted by 2rsinapod 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?

No reason not to.. or to, for that matter.
Matter of personal choice. The pod does sit pretty low, and the wheels do add several inches to the minimum hitch height.. Usually you only see the wheels on while a TT is parked and only on VERY flat/level areas. Just for sort of shuffling them around a bit. We have dual batteries and propane tanks and I can lift/slide mine as needed.

  If your trailer is on a concrete slab a wheel works great for moving around by hand. We used one on our r-pod and currently use one on our Vibe. The only thing you may have difficult with is the wheel swiveling easy when making turns. The one that I have found to swivel easiest of the three that I have had has been the one manufactured by BAL.

I have a 2013 177.  I built and installed several cabinets (a la Marwayne), which I posted several months ago.  In Sept. I added a shelf (using those Lowes shelves) above the bed between the restroom partition and the wall.  Now, I want to install a similar shelf above the other end of the bed next to the slide out.

Originally posted by dsmiths ... there was a wheel that fits in the front jack so you can roll the pod around if on a flat surface. The drive where I keep the pod is a little steep and I dare not take a chance as I would have a runaway Pod.
