U.S. Rpod Owners 2009-2010 models: PLEASE READ

Another thing is:

1.  Why would they NOT know the regulations?  It isn't like they have never made trailers.

2.  If they DID  know, why did they pull a stunt like this?  Trying to get away with cutting corners for more profit?

They may get away with this because of the low number of customers that will make a comment on this issue.  If that is the case we will either have to go without the lights and pay that cost if something happens.  Or, at our own cost add the necessary lights.  I could do the fenders with no problem but I'm not so sure about the clearance marker lights.

Good catches, David.  Well, now we know what the spoiler is really for.

Originally posted by Tidalwave4455 My neighbor's trailers (not R-Pods) have the required triple lights in the center but also two other lights at the rear far left and right.   From the photos displayed by several forum members of their newly installed rear spoilers, it appears that the spoiler does not have the outer lights.  Are the outer lights also required by NHTSA regs?

If their request is granted and I have to make this change myself, I'll find generic orange LED-based marker lights and glue them in place.  There are several directions I could go with the wire, but ultimately its going to have to run behind the soft molding that runs along both sides of the trailer (which is removeable), to the front of the pod where I can then tap into the wires coming from the Bargman connector.  I'm camping this weekend so I'll take a minute to eyeball the situation.  Heck, I might even cheat and add the lights to the rear of the A/C housing.  Then I won't have wires (or wire channels) visible anywhere!
