   The frame tubes are very resistant to rotating, as all tube shapes are, so you should be good there. As for compressing the 0.1 tube walls, that is a valid concern. You could add a backing plate on the inner side of the tube to spread the load, or just be careful not to compress the tubing by overtightening the bolts.

	i'm iffy about the installation. The frame on the pod only has .100 thick walls. You can bend those in tightening the bolts/nuts. The frame is really meant to have a load pushing down on it. Not sure how much sideway pressure it can take. I have them stock on my 195, but they are tack welded onto the frame. Hopefully this works.

	All, Received these outriggers from Forest River, took a while to get them, they came with no instructions but after working with the parts dept they were able to get the engineers to provide the screws to be used. I have not installed them yet, i am not happy with the long self tapping screws that go into and through the frame, i will use bolts with locking nuts. the other screws will go into the underside of the floor next to the edge of the body. I plan on installing them next to the frame but under the rollers for the slide out as that seems the logical place. FR gave no real instructions on where to install them except to place them "spaced apart" Sadly I do not have the part number, but Forest River identifies it as "Formed Outrigger - 4A - Used on R-pods they did mention that these are being installed on new rigs, didn't say which ones, so hard to get info from Forest River. Cheers
