mine is 2011 and have lights in fenders, all they did was wire them from underneath it, then drilled a small whole on the fender to pass the wires, mounted the lights and wrapped the wires in that plastic covers. if you need pictures let me know.]]> Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:27:20 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2361&PID=22351#22351 Running lights on fenders : Check out my post here - It... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2361&PID=22261#22261 Author: rpodcamper.com

It bugs me that FR hasn't proceded to correct the problem of rear and fender lites...they already agreed that they are in violation of Canadian safety standards which are identical to the US standards. The Canadian recall has been ongoing for many months. I guess there hasn't been any lawsuits filed in the US to help kick start the US recall.

Why should we Pod owners be forced to take the time and money to correct FR's manufacturing error?

Thanks dsmiths, that sounds like a really good idea.

I went a liitle crazy with the reflective tape even though we have lights on the fenders. It is on the steps, the tongue, the pointy corners of the slide out, the edges of the door, and numerous other spots I can't remember anymore. I was worried about people bumping into things in the dark.

It probably looks a little strange as we are driving but at least they can see us.

It wouldn't be too difficult to add lights to the fenders, you can run the wires underneath to the front of the Pod and tap into the wiring there.]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:30:11 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2361&PID=22190#22190 Running lights on fenders : I was thinking of putting some... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2361&PID=22184#22184 Author: secretbard

I was thinking of putting some reflector tape on my wheel well fenders as I can't really see them in the rear view mirror at night. I was thinking of putting yellow on the fronts and red on the backs of the tire wheel well fenders. That was a concern for me the last time I went camping as I came back at night. ]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:51:54 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2361&PID=22184#22184 Running lights on fenders : Originally posted by rid415 2012... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2361&PID=22176#22176 Author: Snowbound

I think it was only the first 2011 build and earlier that did not have these installed.

Our 2011 is okay too.

Hold out for the possible Federal Safety Recal that is being looked into. Pulling after dark leaves us like a sitting duck as the trailers DONOT have enough lights and not even the amount the Federal Goverement requires. ]]> Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:45:44 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2361&PID=22140#22140 Running lights on fenders : I agree with David and Danette.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2361&PID=22128#22128 Author: tpierce220

I agree with David and Danette. We were fortunate to have lights that make it very easy to see the Pod at night while driving. I'd be really nervous driving at night without those lights.]]> Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:59:22 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2361&PID=22128#22128 Running lights on fenders : Hopefully DOT and Forest River... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2361&PID=22123#22123 Author: David and Danette

First time towing a 151 at night, I noticed it's hard to see the fenders in the side mirrors. I like to keep the right side wheel close to the edge of the lane marker (in the slow lane of the freeway) to give semis room to pass, and a light on top of the fender would be very helpful.]]> Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:21:07 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2361&PID=22117#22117
