There is a picture and description on page 4 in my mods (link in signature). I had to notch out the back end to have them fit correctly. The end plates are wider than those of the original steps. They are also a little narrower, so I made shims so they would fit. I could have used washers if I had wanted to, but had the stock on hand to make the shims.

Unfortunately, there is no time to do camping before our big trip so some of the things need to be put back in and the 'Pod stocked for the trip. On top of that, we will be helping with VBS next week. The days are going to be packed in getting the R-Pod ready. I already got the double steps put back on as well as the power jack. I re-did the steps so now they fit even better than before. I also reinstalled the vent cover. That is tricky as I was surprised to see not the Fan-Tastic Vent, but a Maxxair Vent when we went to pick it up. I had to modify the Fan-Tastic Ultra Breeze vent cover to use the Maxxair's mounting tabs. Hopefully, it will work. If not, then I will get the Maxxair Fan-Mate cover that will use the EZ-Clip mounts. |

Now it's time to go camping. The other stuff can wait until the weather turns.

We are home with our "New" 2016 RP-179 Custom! I need to sign up with a picture site, and then I will post some pictures.
Factory repairs: Excellent! I'll provide details later in a separate post once I get pictures to go with a description. Thule Awning: This is what I have been wanting. It does not quite match as it is made for the blue/gray color scheme. However, it looks great and is simple to deploy/recover. The work has already begun to get my mods back in place for our upcoming trip. Some of our mods were in while it was at the factory. I received some complements on them. I also gave some input on problem areas I have noticed and which have been discussed on the forum. Anyway, I have a lot to do in a short period, so that is all I will say about that for now. |

The RV/MH Hall of Fame looks interesting. My wife is a little skeptical,
Well, we got as far as Jackson, Ohio. We got here only to realize that the I forgot something significant. I usually forget something, but I forgot to pack my CPAP machine. I apologized to my wife in advance. We should get to Goshen by early afternoon. The Hampton is booked, so we will stay at the Comfort Inn in Elkhart as it is close enough and at a reasonable price. |
