We are the second owner of our 2017 179 and therefore, Tina says, not eligible for repair.

Any cost to you? I sent photos of the issue over a month ago to Tina but have not heard back. How long from sending photos to them offering to fix? How bad was your issue? I’m in Ontario so I was wondering how they are dealing with Canadians. Thanks

Forest River is telling me that the axles in some Rpods were over-torqued, leading to damaged frames, damaged floors and sinking walls. They say the outriggers are not going to solve the issue, after the damage starts.
They are willing to pay to transport my 2018 RPod 180 to their facility in Oregon, replace the axle, replace the damaged frame, and repair floors and wall. I thought that was pretty generous of them. Especially since I am located in Canada.
 . They really seem to be trying to help owners make the best of this bad situation. |

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. |

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 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.

@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

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
