Outriggers Forest River parts

Yes, I do have water damage according to the dealer that submitted the claim.  That could have had something to do with why Forest River denied the claim was because of the labor involved in making those repairs.  Apparently they are forwarding these claims to their vendor Lippert and they said Lippert denied the claim.  I'm assuming Lippert is manufacturing/designing the floor and slide assembly for Forest River?

Hi all, I have a 2016 176 that has a wall sagging on the left (slide) side.  Has anyone had any issues with their 176 like the 179 is having?  The sagging put stress on some wiring and plumbing fitting and caused a pinhole leak.  The dealer I took it to was trying to get it covered under warranty but after some back and forth with me thinking Forest River was going to step up and fix the problem, they finally said they weren't going to cover the claim.  How many of you watched this video about the "superior construction" of the rpod before buying one?  I'm obviously disappointed:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMXneKc_fDo

What length screw did you use going up into the floor?

Just read this thread. I have a 2018 R179 and will be checking to see if it has outriggers or not. I see people order 4 of them; are two used on each side of the camper, or do all 4 go under the slider? How many inches is the spacing between them?

Originally posted by JA-Pod Interesting how this worked,  in removing the channel lip and inserting the outrigger I still could not get all of the outriggers to lay flush to the floor but was able to get two of them them to sync up in the corner where the floor and the frame meet,  the other two are very close to the corner.  I believe this has to do with the "squareness" of the floor to the frame,  seems to be a bit of slop.  As much as I tried to get them to true up to the floor and the corner  it didn't happen.  I am satisfied though that there is significantly more support from the frame to the edge of the trailer body.  Time will tell,  I suppose the squaring up of the floor would be to remove  from the outrigger the end where the screws hold to the frame (in the AL channel) and attach to the floor further down toward the frame  but this would require knowledge where the floor "joists"  are located to attach.  Not exact but this is a hand built vehicle and there will be issues along these lines as we have seen.  Sometimes best effort is all we can hope for.
