Floor raised up in 2018 roof 180

Here's a photo that Forest River sent me mid-March to show the progress on my repair. This was 5 weeks after they received it in Ligonier, IN. They have replaced the floor/flooring, but the frame looks like it's the original. They are replacing the walls, as well, due to delamination and buckling from the floor sag. I heard back last week (7 weeks) that both walls have now been replaced and they are sealing it up and then sending it to PDI (pre-delivery inspection). Hopefully it will be back soon! 

Thanks Canadiandad for the photos and info. Did you have to request the photos or did they just send them?

Just thought I'd give an update on the factory work for the sagging floor.  My 2018.5 177 was returned today after 6.5 weeks and looks great. It turns out they didn't need to replace the floor, but did add 5 outriggers on the slide side and replaced the axle.  It sits higher than before, with about 4-5 inches between the tire and fender--almost like a hood river version.  Not sure why it's that high since it's higher on both sides.  I'll have to see how it sits on the car hitch and if I have to adjust that at all.  To my surprise, they also replaced all the stabilizer jacks, the tongue jack, and a blind.  Only the blind was broken so not sure why they replaced those jacks, but certainly nice to see.  They also added straps to both black and grey and the hose tube so everything is double reinforced now to address that annoying issue of it dropping when on the road.  They added new vinyl trim and nicely sealed all roof and walls.  I would certainly recommend going the factory route if you can spare the time.  

The factory route is also okay if you can get it approved to go there. I no longer have the RPod 179. If I did, I would be looking at going that route. The Cherokee Grey Wolf does not have the overhang issue and it does not have a slide-out, so it won't have those problems. It will have its own set of problems, some of which are being addressed at the dealer. I hope that last piece of metal will come in soon so we can get it back. I'd like to get out there now that the weather is pretty nice.

I was concerned about that too as I had a lot of modifications.  Because I thought the floor would be changed out, I removed a lot of the solar wiring and a new battery area that was inside and realized I might have to lose the glued on 150 watt panel if they replaced the roof.  Quite the pain undoing everything, but in the end the floor didn't have to be removed and somehow got it level with the outriggers.  I think they also de-winterized it, which saves me some time!  Hope they get to yours soon.
