I have a 179 and I found that my lug wrench will not fit into or around the lugs because there is not the clearance needed. I had to get a thin wall socket to remove the lugs from the tire. I just wanted other pod owner to be aware of this before you hit the road. funks |

Good tip. I discovered the same thing. I wanted to make sure I had a lug wrench that would fit before taking it on the road. I assumed my old four-way wrench, which I've been using with cars and popup campers for years, would fit, but thankfully, I double-checked before leaving.

I have never tried my 4 way lug wrench on this trailer. I lost a wheel on a trailer once so since then I am paranoid and travel with a torque wrench and socket in the trailer. ------------- Sean, 2011 Rpod RP-173,2009 Jeep Liberty Rocky Mountain Edition

Oh wow...thinks I'll be checking those torques a little more often. I have a 2015 178 and a newer 4 way and it works. ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |

Check the torque and tire pressure before every trip. I carry my torque wrench in the camper. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
