Checked the wheel alignment after a recent trip. Top of the passenger side wheel toed in. Bent axle for the 3rd time. This time and the first time, I don’t even remember hitting anything that would cause a bent axle. This is ridiculous. Probably time for something different…]]> Sun, 12 Jul 2026 16:55:50 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16468&PID=155626#155626 Podmods, Maintenance, Tips and Tricks : Fresh water tank vs on-road handling https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16467&PID=155625#155625 Author: enaltrebor

Your fresh water tank should be 30 gallons, which weighs about 250 lbs. When the tank is full, it really can’t slosh much. And your trailer is probably 3000 lbs+. The water is less than 10% of the trailer weight. I tow with my fresh tank full with a mid-size SUV and haven’t had any issues with the water contributing to side-to-side sway. If anything, it adds weight on the tongue which makes for less side-to-side trailer sway.

Hi, we are taking our 2024 RP116 on its first boondocking outing soon. We routinely empty the tanks on the way out of RV parks. We want to fill the FW tank at home for this next trip.

I didn't see baffles when looking through the translucent FW tank wall. Fluids slosh when cornering. (40 gal of gas in a retrofitted tank, with no baffles, can destabilize a light pickup.)

• Is sloshing of 250 gallons of water, low to the road, even a problem?
• If a problem, will the hitch stabilizer help? (It's a size up from the minimum required.)
• What other gotchas await us?

I actually found one online for $125 brand new. I know, right. We have not used it. How did you like it? What do I need to know about it. ]]> Sat, 04 Jul 2026 23:12:13 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16445&PID=155620#155620 Mods, Maintenance, Tips and Tricks : Clean water leak in thetford toilet https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16463&PID=155619#155619 Author: ppine

Bolts are there. The space is so small they are hard to see.

Thanks for your observations.

THANKS folks!! I knew they had to be somewhere but wasn't sure. BTW, all I did to get good access was remove the screws holding the front half of the plywood under the bed, and then lift it and the mattress up for the 30 seconds it took to open/close the three valves. Didn't put the screws back in as the mattress more than holds the plywood in place.

Posted: 30 Jun 2026 at 7:50am

Good Morning,

Unfortunately I have to embark upon installing outriggers on my 2017 RPod 180. To that end I have been crawling under the rig exploring what and how I am going to install the newly ordered outriggers. I noticed that the frame is not exactly straight and is bent down on each side of the newly installed axle. This looks consistent on both side but the door size is harder to eye ball due to the door itself. Yes, I blew a tire which took out the axle so Blue Compass RV in Prescott, AZ recently installed but "did not notice" the slider sag. Lastly, has anyone welded the outriggers as compared to drill and tap?

Thanks for your input.
