I saw a printout on utube on how to winterize a R-pod. Can some send me the link to the procedure list. Thanks. ]]> Sat, 17 Oct 2026 11:10:51 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16508&PID=155723#155723 I need HELP!!! : RP-179 fender neeed. https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16505&PID=155719#155719 Author: JR

Etrailer has replacement fenders however they will not match the fenders that came from the factory.  You will have to replace both of them if you want them to match.]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2026 08:26:42 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16505&PID=155719#155719 I need HELP!!! : RP-179 fender neeed. https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16505&PID=155716#155716 Author: MarkInPgh

I recently lost the fender from RP-179. The factory told my dealer they no longer use the same fender. Does anyone have a source for a new or used 179 fender?]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2026 11:47:00 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16505&PID=155716#155716 I need HELP!!! : Rpod 179 2019 /wall frame/slide out https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16503&PID=155710#155710 Author: Amxfit

You can also tell with an infrared camera. If you face that side of the Rpod away from the sun (so the exterior is cool), and turn the furnace on, the aluminum studs will transfer the heat through to the outside skin and the spaces between will be cooler. Take a picture with an infrared camera to outline where the studs are.]]> Mon, 21 Sep 2026 11:24:40 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16503&PID=155709#155709 I need HELP!!! : Rpod 179 2019 /wall frame/slide out https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16503&PID=155708#155708 Author: gpokluda

If there is anything structural, it's probably a frame around the slide and vertical supporting the window. I couple of small, exploratory pilot holes should be drilled first.]]> Mon, 21 Sep 2026 06:58:56 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16503&PID=155708#155708 I need HELP!!! : Rpod 179 2019 /wall frame/slide out https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16503&PID=155707#155707 Author: Amxfit

Hi 

I Have a 2019 r-pod 179 , i want to install two 
6" round vents to be mounted on the slideout wall to
the right of the window (Looking from inside).
This is to accommodate 2 pipes connecting to my Portable AC unit.

anyone knows if other than stude , i might hit pipes/wires
anyone has an idea or pictures of this wall frame.
i reached out to forest river and they are un-willing to share
this info 

wall frame schematics will help

Thank you


Avraham

Thanks for your input.  I appreciate your thoughts.  I'm really not too concerned with efficiency.  I basically just want to keep my batteries topped off for occasionally running the heater, exhaust fan, and a couple of lights.  In my experience, flat on the roof is just fine for that.  On a cloudy rainy day even with partial shade, I'm topped off in my Bushwhacker by 10-11 AM.  My main concern as i said is does that tape route work -that is does it hold and does it damage the roof of the rPod specifically?  Also since i usually don't stay around camp all day, I suspect unattached, easy to snatch solar panels would be too much of a temptation.  Sorry in advance for my cynicism.   < ="chrome-extension://hkflippjghmgogabcfmijhamoimhapkh/s/page.js" id="_70b67246-83ce-4746-a80c-5a21af18c46e" isturnedoff="false" randuuid="19ed6008-9b87-4ac0-bb45-2bc005e0ec3c" isgaming="undefined" ="text/" mc_processed="1">]]> Sun, 13 Sep 2026 19:25:02 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16499&PID=155699#155699 I need HELP!!! : Mounting Solar Panels https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16499&PID=155698#155698 Author: GlueGuy

I will also add that putting solar panels on the roof is not always (or even frequently) the best place to put solar panels because the Rpod will often be parked in the shade.

Many people have found that having them on a longer cord, and placing them away from the trailer (and facing the sun) is a more optimal way to do solar.

I don't have experience, however on another forum I am on, folks who have used VHB tape have had mixed results. Most folks, when using any kind of strut or bracket that elevates the panel above the body of the camper, will through-bolt the bracket.]]> Sun, 13 Sep 2026 06:27:48 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16499&PID=155697#155697
