Forgot!... adding a camera to the back, and lights to the front. Will use the battery=now-tool-box I installed at the front, from Harbor Freight.]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2025 13:24:52 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16245&PID=154736#154736 2010 Rpod 177 Manual Slide Out Operation : I am waiting for parts I ordered. -... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16245&PID=154735#154735 Author: PENP

Iam waiting for parts I ordered.

- The two exhausts onthe roof are completely broken, so I guess when it rains some water goesthrough it. They should come today. I found aluminum ones, probably to lastforever:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQQ2343L?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

- Also will coverthe shower so I can open it when itrains:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UUMM6K?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

- I am thinking toadd a new axle, as one side I see like 5 degree angle in the tire at thebottom, still after changing the bearings; and the spindle is fine, so probablythe torsion arm is getting old. I am in contact with Lipper for that matter.

- I will add solar,and this is something I have done for years in a small off road trailer I have,in a van I converted in the past, and in my own Silverado I have 3 solar panelsover a rack I built. It will be a challenge because it is round on thetop...but I will find the way.

- Added already abox in the front with Camco gas tank cover.

- Added 2 x 200 AH Lithium(I had them from another project), but I installed them under the passengerseat inside the Rpod (Dinette); and the solar system will be there as well.

- I want to paintthe center-outside of the Rpod, the re-seal everything, so I can givemaintenance to the AC without worrying for leaks.

This week shouldcome all the seals for the slide. They are not super bad, but better than have surprises.This pod all in it works but the guy that had it was not up to maintenance, asyou can see in the roof no cover for the exhausts. You can see the two blackpipes.

-Right now I amending a second hand painting inside the Rpod, except the kitchen. I will giveit three times, but these panels are not so friendly to the paint, they arespecial ones against humidity with some vinyl over the lauan wood, but littleby little is sticking there. Already looks like there is more light inside.

- I will add Ledlights except the bathroom...we are getting old. We know it because at nightthe light bothers a little bit when suddenly on.

-I may replacethe toilet with composting, in my experience from the past I think it is thebest; of course it is just my opinion, and we use it mostly just for my wifeand me. I understand that when you have a big family that could be an issue.

- I already paintedunderneath the trailer half way to all metals...need more paint.

- I will be busy,and my vacation ends next Thursday.

 

Busy... busy.

Since I asked I have been watching this guy who repair slides: 
https://www.youtube.com/@AZExpert/search?query=slide
He is an experienced RV technician with useful content, and it is good to be ahead of the possible trouble.
I have been reinforcing with extra wood all under the bed and under the seats. Hard to believe they did it like that. Also many factory holes not sealed. Will keep looking; basically I will remodel every where it can be done.
Thank you.

If it gets stuck in the out position, the solution for Schwintek units is to pull the covers off both sides, and disconnect both motors. You can then manually push it in. At that point you need to insert a board (or two) that are just long enough to prevent the slide from sliding out on its own. Not ideal, but do-able with some major caveats.]]> Wed, 23 Jul 2025 12:22:46 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16245&PID=154729#154729 2010 Rpod 177 Manual Slide Out Operation : I will crawl under the slide (kitchen)... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16245&PID=154728#154728 Author: PENP

I will crawl under the slide (kitchen) when is out and check.

Mineworks good...I just wanted to know if suddenly I am boondocking and it stopsworking, then the trouble begins. I never had a slide and I am not sure if itis legal to drive with the slide out, taking in account that this one is not much on theoutside; but again the question is thinking in case of an emergency the day youdo not expect it.

Thank you.

There us no, easy way to manually operate the slide in the event it fails. There are several YouTube videos but this is the overview.

If the slide is in and it will not operate, you will need to remove the slide seal and side trim to access the slide motor upper mounting bolt. There us a motor on each side of the slide. Removing the bolts will allow you to move the motor to the side and pull/push the slide out.

If the slide is out, then you can access the the upper motor mounting bolt, remove it am repeat the process above.

New to the Forum.

Camping from decades (more overlanding)... new with an Rpod.
I just bought it and trying to renovate it all possible to its new years.
Where is the 2010 Rpod 177 Manual Slide Out Operation, in case you are out there and the system does not work with the battery, and so related.

Thank you, Al.
