Can you move a message from one thread to another?

It is unfortunate that they can't be merged.

When I get out of the woods, and back on a computer, I will see what I can do. I know I can move threads, but don't know if I can merge them.

I love our R-Pod, and even within limits the r-dome, and regret very much that this situation has arisen. 

Whatever, for the forum the bottom line is - PLEASE CHECK YOUR ANGLE BRACKETS


A) it clogs up the forums.

B) it makes it harder for people to respond, or follow.

C) there is no problem posting multiple pictures in a single thread or post

D) when an admin sends you a PM, please respond to him, and don't drag it out in public.

Since you are, so far, the ONLY person to have had this failure, or at least to have posted anywhere about it.. it isn't a "systemic problem".  Risers are used on many brands and models of trailers. like anything, they apparently can fail, but it sure must not happen often. ]]> Tue, 11 Jun 2019 07:34:16 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12921&PID=124715#124715 axle falling off R-Pod III : It's a 2015 model bought... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12921&PID=124685#124685 Author: Happy Tripping

It's a 2015 model bought in spring of 2014. 

The bilateral fresh welds are not visible in the picture. They are between the top of the riser and the frame. If you want to see it, I'll be happy to post it, I've got one pic of the right side that also shows the bolts better, with the weld, too. It doesn't have all the bolts, but c'mon, who here thinks the bolts caused this??

It is very worrisome that this design is apparently not unique to my R-Pod. If this is a systematic problem, we've got to get the word out. I've put this into the NHTSA system. Ordinarily they wait for a pattern of trouble to arise but something tells me that in this case they will make an exception.

Ok I went and looked at mine. The main square tubular frame is at the top of the picture, we are looking from the inside towards the outside, and that tab under the nut is welded to the frame...I think.

Like the others, I dont see a fresh weld, but I DO see a lot of rust. Did a weld fail or did a bolt fail, and how old is this trailer?

This si the final pic, if it works. 

Note the little tab on the angle bracket and look under your own R-Pod to make sure you DON'T have the same angle bracket design.
