Nothing in that wall above the bed line.. Near as I could determine, the wiring for the lights, and all the stuff in the head bumper comes through the roof. At least in 2011.. Wink

My parking/storage surface is gravel so no use for a wheel. If a person had a level concrete pad, one might be handy. Otherwise, not much use (IMO).

If your trailer is on a concrete slab a wheel works great for moving around by hand. We used one on our r-pod and currently use one on our Vibe. The only thing you may have difficult with is the wheel swiveling easy when making turns. The one that I have found to swivel easiest of the three that I have had has been the one manufactured by BAL.]]> Thu, 11 Dec 2014 14:06:27 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5520&PID=54877#54877 Interesting Video on R-Pod Construction : I plan to do an additional shelf... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5520&PID=54875#54875 Author: headcold

No reason not to.. or to, for that matter.
Matter of personal choice. The pod does sit pretty low, and the wheels do add several inches to the minimum hitch height.. Usually you only see the wheels on while a TT is parked and only on VERY flat/level areas. Just for sort of shuffling them around a bit. We have dual batteries and propane tanks and I can lift/slide mine as needed.]]> Thu, 11 Dec 2014 11:21:17 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5520&PID=54872#54872 Interesting Video on R-Pod Construction : Kinda figured as much.

Kinda figured as much. Is it that the tongue weight is too heavy to use a wheel? Has anyone put on an aftermarket wheel and able to use it?]]> Thu, 11 Dec 2014 10:55:26 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5520&PID=54870#54870 Interesting Video on R-Pod Construction : Originally posted by 2rsinapodGreat... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5520&PID=54868#54868 Author: kymooses

That's just something they use in the production factory to make moving the Pods around the factory easier while they are constructing them.

None of us have tongue wheels from factory.

Best video I have seen so far of a r-pod factory. You could see by the video the roof around the AC is able to support the weight of two adults. We don't own a r-pod anymore but was interesting to watch. Have searched for factory video of the V-cross Vibes being constructed but have not been able to find one. Thank you, for posting the video.]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2014 12:10:17 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5520&PID=53687#53687 Interesting Video on R-Pod Construction : Just discovered this on YouTube.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5520&PID=53685#53685 Author: Podster

Just discovered this on YouTube. It offers some insights on construction and is probably worth a view for those heavy modders.

I am particularly fond of the teamwork demonstrated on positioning the roof into place @ 4:27.
