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.]]> Fri, 02 Mar 2018 10:13:29 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11185&PID=105031#105031 Just purchased 2016 R Pod 179 : Welcome to the forum.

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.

Sounds like "inertia" is the most applicable answer. They've done it this way for a long time, and it seems to be working for them.

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.

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. Ying Yang

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.

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.]]> Wed, 28 Feb 2018 09:44:32 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11185&PID=104961#104961 Just purchased 2016 R Pod 179 : Welcome to the group!

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.

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.]]> Wed, 28 Feb 2018 00:07:39 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11185&PID=104956#104956 Just purchased 2016 R Pod 179 : Would like to find owners manual... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11185&PID=104954#104954 Author: jonjones
