Good luck, I have never seen one. I made my own. Try this: Go to FORUM HOME, then INTRODUCE YOURSELF, then WELCOME and RULES, you will be on a page added by "techntrek", go to his sig block, you will see a highlighted tag added to his signature that says, RPOD INSTRUCTION MANUAL, the info there is a great start to getting info on your TT. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

Welcome to the group! Congrats on your 179! Same here, never seen an Rpod specific owners manual. Agree with Mike Techntrek has been putting together a manual, there are also several other members who have Modifications added totheir signature like. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

We have a 2016 179 HR and it came with manuals. However, they were the generic Forest River manuals and had many instances of mis-information; i.e., the size of the hitch ball is shown as 2 1/4 inches. In my opinion, you will be better served by getting manuals for the individual systems (heater, refrigerator, etc.) and asking questions on this forum. ------------- Enjoy Life!! |

I went on line and got the manuals for each specific piece of equipment, then printed and put in a large binder I carry in Pod. When I have an issue, I have a manual. Many resources. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

Welcome and congratulations! We also have a 2016 RP-179. I concur with the advice above. I hope you have many great adventures and make many memories on your travels with your RPod. We have enjoyed ours, and I have done a number of mods on it. I am about to replace the cabinet and drawer pulls with ones that don't have the parts that stick out (rounded). Once I do so, I will add pictures to my mods list. Edit: the pulls I bought won't work. The screws for the current handles are countersunk so deep that the new screws would have to poke through the pull in order to get it tight enough. Back to the drawing board.  ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

You can email Forest River and they can send you a file that you can print out if you wish. Sadly, as said here, its a generic manual and not model specific but has allot of good information. Why FR doesn't make a R-Pod manual for each model is beyond me?

Welcome to the forum. I have a 2017 179 hope you have as much fun with yours as my wife and I have had with ours. Stephen, They make screws for cabinet pulls that break off. You can get some at Home Depot to mount your pulls. If you cant find them I may have some you can have.

That's okay. I already returned the pulls. We'll stick with stock for now. We were looking at others that have more depth for a mounting screw, but haven't decided on one of them yet.
