I put up a hanging rack (a closet rod and two sockets above toilet to outside wall, good storage and can be moved to the side to use toilet (I don't use mine much as I always stop where there are facilities).]]> Thu, 06 Aug 2026 09:18:33 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16208&PID=155664#155664 Podmods, Maintenance, Tips and Tricks : axle stuff https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16235&PID=155663#155663 Author: Ericjump

I just replaced my axle, Lipper (original axle manufacturer) has a 10 year warranty (but only if you are the original owner)! I sourced purchased and installed a new axle (the problem was the tire was hitting the fender. After getting some bad advice I replaced the axle. It turns out that same problem with new axle. The REAL problem was not the axle but that the wall outside the frame rails was sagging. The fix was to install supports under the outside wall (Slideout side) and move the fender up about an inch. Therefore I now have used (8 years and very little use) Lippert axle, and brakes for sale! New one cost me $1100.00 will sell used one for $500.00.
I still have the pallets the new one came on and will ship (Split the shipping cost with you.

The best thing for me about a small prPod like a 177 is that it fits everywhere. 
Mostly I camp during the week and mostly in the off season.  
I now avoid National Parks.   I have been to 90% of them.  
I rarely make reservations for the rPod but I do make them for the big trailer which is 29 feet.

You won't be able to remove it completely, but you can make it less noticeable. The reason you can see the the decal placement is because the thin skin of gelcoat has oxidized. You can apply any car cleaner/wax to the camper and buff around where the decal was an it will look a lot better.

Just purchased a 2018 189 and the previous owner had removed decals. 
What products have others used to make the "ghosting" go away?

I have lead acid battery in my 2019 176-T now.  I want to replace it with an AGM battery.  Is this OK with the original inverter/charger?]]> Mon, 27 Jul 2026 10:02:20 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16479&PID=155658#155658 I need HELP!!! : frig issue https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16478&PID=155657#155657 Author: photodvm

Thank you.  I think I am going to get a new battery as I don't know how old the battery is but I suspect it may be the original battery.]]> Mon, 27 Jul 2026 09:50:07 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16478&PID=155657#155657 I need HELP!!! : frig issue https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16478&PID=155656#155656 Author: gpokluda

Your fridge isn't getting enough voltage from the battery. The battery may read 13v at the fridge, but when the heating element energizes, it draws down below what is needed by the fridge.

Run the fridge on propane even when traveling. It's safe as long as you turn the fridge off when fueling up at the gas station or going through tunnels that have a warning posted. 

Check your battery as well. If it is not a maintenance free AGM, make sure there is plenty of distilled water in the cells.

My Dometic frig runs great on shore power and propane but I get the flashing LED fault light on 12 volt.
The battery reads 12.6 v at the terminals and 13 v at the block on the back of frig.  Heating element voltage also reads Ok on block.  All fuses and breakers intact.  frig is model RM 8501.  Frig control board does not appear accessible (not on back of frig).  This doesn't change if tow vehicle is connected and running.  Bought 2019 176-T used recently and this has occurred from the start.  Any thoughts?
