 Topic: Outriggers Forest River partsPosted: 18 Oct 2021 at 11:19pm |

I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but can someone post the dimensions of the FR outriggers? I am interested in the length of the top, and the height of the side to see how they would work on my 180.
I have a bulge in my floor near the door and it looks like one of the floor joists has bent and the floor is sagging towards the wall.

I have them with me as I am about to install them over the next couple days. 6 1/2" long x 3" high x 1 1/2" wide. Here is a video of me holding one up: https://vimeo.com/632462876

Hi All,
Just wanted to give a heads up that Forest River still has Outriggers in stock. Feel a bit behind the curve because I just read about the wall sags and was concerned that Forest River may have possibly run out. But not yet. 👍 Just call 1(574) 642-3119. At the prompts hit 3 for parts, then 2 for R-Pod and you’ll be connected directly to a sales person. Took a whole 5 minutes to place an order.

Greetings, I have a welder friend who can fabricate these outriggers. I thought I saw a post from a welder who had a great drawing of outriggers he made. Can't find that post anymore. Can someplease point me to it? Thanks! Jim Lavrakas Homer, AK "When youth departs, may wisdom prove enough..." / Churchill

@pilotpodder Thank you so much for all the help you providing here and on YouTube. Really appreciate it and it has brought some emotional relief from the unfortunate discovery of our floor problems. Not sure if the previous owners knew about this as it was priced to sell in the spring. Can anyone link to the most helpful posts/threads you have found? Thanks

I tried to order outriggers from Forest River when my slide side wall began sinking this year. They refused to send them, saying they needed to replace the floor, the frame and the axle at the factory. None of this is true, and I even sent 13 photos to prove it. The side wall just needs support. Forest RIver's Western parts rep, Tina, said she'd "try to have a look at them over the next few weeks" and get back to me. She said they would "install outriggers if necessary" at the factory after I have it shipped there. Apparently, Forest River won't send the outriggers to me or to my RV tech. So, I am looking for another source for outriggers for an RPod 180. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find some.

I got the outriggers in the spring of this year. I lifter the entire side of the rpod and installed them, but the floor did not come back up to level. I think I'm screwed...

I just picked up six of them for $19 each (including tax) from:
Innovative Machine & Supply, 345 Sun Valley Circle, Fenton, MO 63026 Phone: 636-600-1171. www.innomach.com Most of the time they have them in stock. The description says "179/190 R-Pod Outrigger -12 gauge steel laser cut, formed & powder coated black with aluminum spacer block"
The will ship them for a cost, I just happened to be going through the area on a trip and stopped and got them. They are very good to work with. |
