Outriggers Forest River parts

You don't have to weld them.

FR suggests using TEK self drilling screws and shooting them through both walls of the frame rails. Or you can through books them but if you use a flat washer and don't compress the frame tube by overtightening. It's walls are only 0.1 inch thick.

It seems like FR realized that there was a problem and addressed it (finally).

What was the email address from which this information came? Since I have not been able to talk to Lacy, perhaps an email might get a response. I left another voice mail a couple of minutes ago asking for a call-back.

thanks for the update All,  Wow! no parts directly from FR they are making it difficult to believe in this company,  not customer friendly at all.  I have reached out to FR as well,  will see if I have any luck.   Stephen  I too know of no R-Pod dealer in the area,  although there is suppose to be one in Apex,  D&H RV center?  If you do find a source of the outriggers  let me know I will also add them to my door side.  Interesting I have not heard of an issue with this side of the pod except on this forum but do believe an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"  so adding them on would be a good thing.  

FR says they have a new policy of no direct parts sales anymore.  You have to order them through any FR dealer (not just r-Pod dealers).  We recently bought seam tape and got the part info from the factory, but had to buy it from a dealer.  It's unfortunate as it caused delays due to double shipping, first to the dealer, then to you.  Thankfully, most parts are pretty ubiquitous and can be purchased from other sources.  Personally, I think it's a bad idea limiting parts sales in that manner, but all my calls to Mr. Buffett go unreturned.
