All went well yesterday. A 7-10 day wait for results. C-Scan showed no abnormalities, so surgeon feels this is a systemic issue, i.e. auto-immune issue with all my growing list of food allergies and prescription drugs.

Travis we do have a light bar at the top. There is also I recall on fender, but I thought they were reflectors. Don't know if they are wired.

Depends on when your 182g was actually manufactured.  You' need a spoiler bar with 3 red Leds on the back at the top of the curve on the rear end, and yellow/red Fender lights on the your wheel fenders.

My 2011 181g had the spoiler direct from factory, but I as an example did not have the fender lights, and got mine put on at a local dealer.

No.  Your dealer should be working closely enough with Forest River that you don't need it.  The only thing they'll need is your VIN.

I made my own light bar because I did not like what I saw that Forest River came up with and it has none of the issues that seem to plague those that have them. I placed the fender lights close to the edge of the fender and ran the wires on the inside in a flexible hose, I may redo that part in the future.   Goose]]> Thu, 23 Oct 2014 20:13:39 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5463&PID=53148#53148 Light recall issue : Originally posted by Outbound ...As... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5463&PID=53135#53135 Author: techntrek

I like those lights too, one of my enclosed trailers uses them.
But-  they won't work on my 179 as the slide out only clears the fender by about a half inch.Ouch

There's no time limit on recalls.  As techntrek said, contact your dealer and setup an appointment.

But, make sure its a shop you trust to do the work.  As you can see from this thread, others have had issues with sloppy work.  Personally, I'm very happy with the retrofit done on mine.

Personally if I did not have the problematic and ugly spoiler I'd count myself fortunate!   NO way would I let them add one....I'm sure I could come up with a more elegant solution if I had to have the lights.   My pod looks like crap with the wavy edge of the spoiler and the sloppy sealant work....
The fender lights could also be done in a different way- for one I'd like them on the very edge of the fenders to gauge width in a tight spot instead of in from the edge a few inches like FR does....

Welcome trampdogg1. If your trailer was not refitted with the fender lights and the 3 identification lights on the upper rear of the trailer then you should contact the local Forest River dealer in your area to have the recall work done. Hopefully one the other Podders that are north of the border can help you with this issue.
