My dealer told me just the opposite - to travel with the TV in the garage area. I don't think they really know.Ouch
I decided to travel with the TV inside - much safer and not exposed to as much heat, cold, etc. - but realized that there was no way of securing it down. So I took the straps off the garage area and screwed them into the wood frame around the inside TV area. That kept it from swinging around, but not from bouncing up and down (TV does not rest on the bottom of the frame, but about 6 inches above it), so I found some packing styrofoam and cut out a block that will fit in between the bottom of the TV and the frame. Viola! No more swaying or bouncing!Thumbs Up

Hope this helps!

Welcome. We also have 182g and risers. My husband installed the risers in one afternoon  lowered the fenders as well as filled the original holes. It looks better. The weather has been so nice I wished we could be camping but nothing in open just yet.]]> Sun, 25 Mar 2012 08:01:20 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2451&PID=23181#23181 New Podder 182-G : While researching for our new... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2451&PID=23175#23175 Author: Camper Bob

While researching for our new Rpod someone suggested getting a longer pipe holder istalled.  I purchased a 60" Super Tube from D&W Inc.  for $25 plus shipping of $54.07.  Very long package.  In any event it will hold(I am told) the Camco Rhino Flex with connectors installed.  The Rhino Flex will extend to 15'.  Some have had problems with the shorter one supplied by your dealer.  I asked our dealer to include the labor of installing it in our purchase price, with a larger Optima D27M battery and a few other miscellaneous items.  The Camco can also be purchased from Amazon.  Good luck and good camping.]]> Sun, 25 Mar 2012 00:13:30 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2451&PID=23175#23175 New Podder 182-G : Posting here and Pod-Nation...Finally...picked... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2451&PID=23165#23165 Author: Racer|X|

Posting here and Pod-Nation...

Finally...picked up the PackR-Pod today. Very nice. 

Questions if I may...I received a camper 101 starter kit from the dealer.  Pretty much useless.  The sewer hose is junk.  What is the best sewer drain kit one can grab at Camper World etc. that you would recommend?  Length...is 15‘ long enough for most campgrounds?  

If you have a 182g....the dealer told me to travel with the TV mounted inside.  20-miles home and the TV swung around, was out of position etc.  I asked 3x doesnt it just stay in the back and use the cable tie down?  They insisted inside.  Any ideas?

We have the Hood River Edition of the 182G (only version available out here in the West) which comes standard with the risers. So glad we have them - they have saved us from dragging tail on many occasions, especially on the dirt backroads. I would say definitely get the risers; worth every penny!]]> Sat, 24 Mar 2012 02:35:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2451&PID=23139#23139 New Podder 182-G : Welcome, so far the need... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2451&PID=23138#23138 Author: Goose

The only thing I do not like about the risers is the extra gap under the fenders.  Makes the fenders less effective and looks funny IMO.  Unfortunately if you were to move the fenders down you'll see where they were mounted originally - so I've left mine.

Welcome.  We are here in Oregon and only have the Hood River Edition available to us.  This includes the risers.  Have been doing a lot of research on this website, and all who have added them have been very satisifed.  They have mentioned not scraping the jacks when entering or exiting filling stations, also on uneven pavement in campgrounds.  Good enough for me.  Would highly recommend adding them to your tailer.  We are awaiting delivery on our 171 in about 6 weeks.  Enjoy!! ]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:19:40 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2451&PID=23123#23123 New Podder 182-G : Welcome!

I agree about the risers; it should be standard equipment.  We spent a lot of last summer driving to Bong Recreational Area and Wisconsin 75 was shut down for most of the summer as they were ripping up the road and repaving it.  The first time I had hit the road, the pod bottomed out trying to get across the road construction.  We had Collier's, the dealer, install the risers this fall when we dropped the trailer off for storage.  You wouldn't think that those few extra inches would make a difference, but I can see how it's going to make a huge difference.]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2012 11:23:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2451&PID=23121#23121 New Podder 182-G : Yeah Racer you are going to want... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2451&PID=23119#23119 Author: dsmiths

Yeah Racer you are going to want the risers, they should be standard equipment, it makes the step up perfect, you dont scrape stabilizers going in and out of gas stations, it keeps the black water dump valve further off of the ground, and it looks better setting up, yeah, hook up and get em, they are not hard to put on.]]> Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:20:13 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2451&PID=23119#23119 New Podder 182-G : Welcome!

Hello All,
 Wanted to intro myself as I have been surfing the forums, hunting tips and tricks.  I found R-Pod Nation first and came across this fine group the other day.

I am a new 1st time camper owner and just looking for ways to make sure I am safe, friendly and reliable.  Thanks for all the great info.

Now, what the hell to do about the risers?  To install or not...that seems to be a great debate.  Lots of details to consider.

I pick the PackR-pod up Sat. morning...can't wait for the 1st trip.

Happy Podding,
X
