Use the advanced search and look for "outriggers"]]> Sun, 23 May 2021 15:45:59 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14656&PID=142777#142777 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14656&PID=142766#142766 Author: MTJason74

Ok, I will check that. I emailed Forest River over a week ago and haven’t gotten a response…. How would I find the info about the extra support.]]> Sun, 23 May 2021 09:45:36 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14656&PID=142765#142765 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14656&PID=142763#142763 Author: offgrid

Oh and if it looks like the wall is too short it might have dropped. It's supported by the floor which had been known to sag on the outside edges. FR has a fix for that in the form of outriggers to support the floor back to the frame tubes.

Take a look under the pod for signs of that.]]> Sun, 23 May 2021 09:38:14 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14656&PID=142763#142763 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14656&PID=142762#142762 Author: offgrid

Not sure what you mean by too small. You mean it's a bit short?

It might help you to see his the pod is constructed. But if it's open along there then you really need to first be certain that it gets dried out.

@offgrid, it almost seems like the wall is a bit too small? I was thinking if the molding was a bit longer on the wall side it would hold it better?]]> Sun, 23 May 2021 09:12:49 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14656&PID=142761#142761 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14656&PID=142760#142760 Author: MTJason74

Never had my trim off but you should be able to remove the trim and then pull back the delaminated sidewall fiberglass. Dry it out completely in there. Check the plywood moisture content with a moisture meter.

If the plywood surface is solid you could try to reglue the fiberglass to the plywood, then reseal and reinstall the trim.]]> Sun, 23 May 2021 06:30:27 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14656&PID=142756#142756 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14656&PID=142752#142752 Author: MTJason74

I have a new to me 2017 RPod 178 that the exterior sidewall has came loose from the molding that holds it along the roof edge. This has happened at the back and the front on the left hand side. Not sure how to repair it? Any suggestions? ]]> Sat, 22 May 2021 19:41:41 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14656&PID=142752#142752
