Good luck, I have never seen one. I made my own. Try this: Go to FORUM HOME, then INTRODUCE YOURSELF, then WELCOME and RULES, you will be on a page added by "techntrek", go to his sig block, you will see a highlighted tag added to his signature that says, RPOD INSTRUCTION MANUAL, the info there is a great start to getting info on your TT.

Welcome to the group! Congrats on your 179! Same here, never seen an Rpod specific owners manual. Agree with Mike Techntrek has been putting together a manual, there are also several other members who have Modifications added totheir signature like.

We have a 2016 179 HR and it came with manuals. However, they were the generic Forest River manuals and had many instances of mis-information; i.e., the size of the hitch ball is shown as 2 1/4 inches. In my opinion, you will be better served by getting manuals for the individual systems (heater, refrigerator, etc.) and asking questions on this forum.

I went on line and got the manuals for each specific piece of equipment, then printed and put in a large binder I carry in Pod. When I have an issue, I have a manual. Many resources.

Welcome and congratulations! We also have a 2016 RP-179. I concur with the advice above. I hope you have many great adventures and make many memories on your travels with your RPod. We have enjoyed ours, and I have done a number of mods on it. I am about to replace the cabinet and drawer pulls with ones that don't have the parts that stick out (rounded). Once I do so, I will add pictures to my mods list.
Edit: the pulls I bought won't work. The screws for the current handles are countersunk so deep that the new screws would have to poke through the pull in order to get it tight enough. Back to the drawing board. |

You can email Forest River and they can send you a file that you can print out if you wish. Sadly, as said here, its a generic manual and not model specific but has allot of good information. Why FR doesn't make a R-Pod manual for each model is beyond me?

This forum is probably the best manual there is. i have copied many things off the site and saved to my phone so i have a mobile manual.
