I made my own light bar because I did not like what I saw that Forest River came up with and it has none of the issues that seem to plague those that have them. I placed the fender lights close to the edge of the fender and ran the wires on the inside in a flexible hose, I may redo that part in the future.   Goose

Stinnet R.V. in Clarksville Indiana did my 2011 RP-172 under the recall and did an outstanding job. It looks factory , no sloppy job here.

Can't take it out?  Is that because they pack them in with no aisles?  Can you even walk in to it if you need to get something?

Yes you need the letter, all you have to do is call or email FR. Ours was done, with no issues yet, by our local dealer. $110 a month?? In a couple winters you could have paid for a simple enclosure..

No.  Your dealer should be working closely enough with Forest River that you don't need it.  The only thing they'll need is your VIN.

Depends on when your 182g was actually manufactured.  You' need a spoiler bar with 3 red Leds on the back at the top of the curve on the rear end, and yellow/red Fender lights on the your wheel fenders.

My 2011 181g had the spoiler direct from factory, but I as an example did not have the fender lights, and got mine put on at a local dealer.
