Saint Urho, that's a good looking rig.
To increase the ability of the r-pod to easily track behind that obviously very capable rig when in the rough stuff, you might want to check out the Jack-E-Up and the Sav-A-Jack kits, they both help increase ground clearance of the pod, along with a pair of axle lift blocks. |

Thanks. I'm trying to track down a set of 3-5/8 lift blocks. I'll be back in America for Canadian Thanksgiving hoping to pick them up then. I don't plan to take the trailer anywhere too rough, but have already encountered a couple of gas station entrances that have scratched the WDH trusses.

Steep gas station entrances, the occasional curb climb, and backing up into a slanted camping spot can all count as 'rough stuff' if hard parts are scraping!
Enjoy!

We love Lake Del Valle! Sometimes you can spot nesting bald eagles there (we have).
Nice painting too! |

Curious if you have installed your solar yet? I think we are starting with a Victron MPPT controller and one portable panel plugged into a rewired Zamp connector. I’m interested to learn how others are approaching solar.

Etrailer.com has them about half price from Forest River. I have the numbers on a thread here somewhere. Found it: Btw, I have the Lippert 3500# torsion axle. This is the correct riser kit from Etrailer for $65: https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories_and_Parts/Lippert_Components/ |

Here ya go...almost done, needed ring terminals for the battery connections: http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13040&title=solar-wiring-chase-through-to-roof Oh, and check that Zamp outlet with a multi-meter....most are wired in reverse from the plugs that fit it. |
