4 Tongue mods on 178

Hello Techntrek,
I like it that we both can be right. As far as my wife is concerned I am never right--but then again if something goes wrong, it is always her fault.   Our unwritten pact has been working for almost 25 years, so I am not going to mess with it.
Thank you for calling FR for verification.   I have the 178 on hold pending the final inspection, which will include weighing and a tongue weight. FR doesn't weight the tongue at the factory. Interesting tidbit on the RDome, but I can understand their reasoning. It is just good to know the parameters. I will report back on my weight findings next week after the final inspection and hopefully purchase.
Armed with this knowledge, I will feel comfortable on the field of battle.   Why do I say that?   After a life in the marine industry with occasional crossovers into the RV industry and due to my initial buying experience, I do not trust any RV manufacturers. This is not saying they are dishonest, but I do think they are at least sloppy, in their procedures. Seems though, that FR is better than most and by a large amount.
Thanks again for your help.

I added 1-½ block of PT wood and that gave enough room for my Equalizer 4point Wdh anti sway bar. 

Thanks for including all the parts on Amazon.

Welcome J.
