Florida, I just looked at the Winnebago Drop brochure for their 1780WD, layout is exactly the same as the RP178 we'll be picking up Friday! Even though it looks like it weighs more and has less water capacity, and the table is a different shape, I smell lawsuit!! They even used the same number, just added a 0!

Does anyone know how to determine if it does vs. if it has the old axle and I will need to install risers?

I did find a post on the rPod by Forest River Facebook page from November 3 that talks about this very axle change, but someone asked if it's on ALL 2016 models, or only certain ones and received no reply.

If it has the other new features it also has the new axle you are good to go!

Look at the Winnebago drop . Looks like the rpod but way cooler exterior colors.

I am ordering a new rpod 178 for the spring of 2016. I was informed that Forest River has made some changes. They have discontinued the colors java and pebble. They have replaced it with latte and sea glass. The color slate will remain. Also there will be a under counter mount stainless steel sink with a flush sink cover. Also there is no more riser option. They have made a 3inch axle adjustment. They have added new marker lights on the fenders. Last there is a flip toe on the front jack stand.
