Just yesterday while setting up at a park I noticed the front corner (slide side) had pulled apart about 3 or 4 inches. My question is, I am still about 3 to4 hours from home,all highways. Will be safe to tow the trailer home so I can repair it there? Thanks for any support ------------- Winter pod 2013 R-Pod 178 2007 Silverato 1500 LT. Trek Stash 8 29er hard tail Old Town Kayak |

| Also once repaired you need to into getting outriggers to support the front corners so it won't happen again |

Thank you pedwards2932 for the reply. I will definitely look into getting the outriggers after I get the front and back together thanks again and thanks for duck tape it seems to be holding I will make it home OK ------------- Winter pod 2013 R-Pod 178 2007 Silverato 1500 LT.

I have a similar problem, I think, with a slight twist. The sides of my 2014 178 are coming up and out of the lower trim edge. This is happening on both the left and right side up front by the tongue end. I tried to repair it by replacing the underside screws with roofing bolts and silicone caulk, to no avail. I'm scheduled to take it in to a Camping World for repairs but am now wondering if I should be taking it to an rPod factory near Portland, Or. Any suggestions on how to proceed? I'm not sure what outriggers are but I will ask whichever place I take it to. Note: These photos are slightly distorted by the pano photo technique.   ------------- valleycampers |

The R-pod factory on the West Coast is in Sheridan,OR. Might be a good idea to give them a call to check on repairs. |
