Not only the frame but the entire coach and everything in it. If FR puts that on an Rpod, it is signalling this trailer can go anywhere and that's exactly what folks who buy them will try to do.

Sure. That would be assumed. The sagging floor issue I'm talking about is the outside walls pushing down on the outside. There are lightweight ways to support the floor in the center without going crazy.

What exactly is "beast mode suspension"? I looked at the Forest River and RPod sites and did not see any mention.

Thanks

Travel often and safe

Vann

Thanks

Really all they need to do is make the frame wider. This would solve both the bent axle as well as the sagging floor problems.]]> Tue, 27 Jun 2023 09:56:31 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15760&PID=152202#152202 When did they start beast mode suspension? : I hope a stronger frame goes along... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15760&PID=152197#152197 Author: StephenH

I hope a stronger frame goes along with the "Beast Mode" suspension. Otherwise, what will happen is that there will be reports of bent frames instead of bent axles. I can tell you that a bent frame is no fun.]]> Mon, 26 Jun 2023 15:36:14 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15760&PID=152197#152197 When did they start beast mode suspension? : New available item (beast mode)... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15760&PID=152196#152196 Author: jato

So we are on our summer trip and encountered a day with nothing planned. We decided to visit some RV dealers to see what was available if we decide to upgrade. The first dealer showed us a R-POD 202 which I noticed has "beast mode" suspension. I noticed they offer this on the 196 as well as the 202. This appears to be a solution to some of the bent axle issues.]]> Mon, 26 Jun 2023 12:16:08 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15760&PID=152195#152195
