We have a 2014 R-Pod 178, and are planning a long road trip starting next week. Just in case, do the R-Pods have a jack for changing the tire? I can't find one. I did find the wimpy lug wrench, which I doubt would be strong enough to loosen the lugs. Thanks, Elenaron

Welcome to the forum. The R Pod doesn't come with a lug wrench. I think what you found was the stabilizing jack wrench. I would check to see if your tow vechicles jack is compatible before carrying two. Also make sure you have a lug wrench that fits. Have fun on your trip. Steve ------------- 2016 R Pod 179 |

You might want to invest in a bottle jack found at auto parts stores. Safe Travels. ------------- Camper Bob and Camper Sue Gracie the Wonder Dog (12 LB. Mini Dachshund) 2013 Rpod 171HRE(ORPod) 2016 Lance 1685 2015 Nissan Pathfinder |

You might want to check he height of the bottle jack fully collapsed, might not fit under the axel when you have flat tire. I just bought a 2 ton floor jack in a plastic carrying case from Walmart for 25 bucks works great. Moe ------------- Jo and Gary, 2010-174,2011 F150

That's my method of operation too. Kinda hard to push around in dirt/gravel but much more stable. ------------- Bruce & Donna in the Sno Pod (and Brewer too) 2011 RP 177 |
