another question. I apologize if this has been answered. I have done a search, but haven't found the answer. my floor is soft right in middle between the sink and bathroom door, if I'm understanding correctly this is because of the lack of proper bracing. Is there someone fabbing up and selling braces to be installed? or is everyone making there own? or is it fine to just leave alone. I've also watched youtube videos on bracing the wall under the slide, is this something i should do as well? is someone selling these?

Thank you once again. Zak

Is your Pod a 180?

Zak, the short answer is you will need to find a metal shop to fabricate it for you. That is one mod I did with the 179. If you use the advanced search, you can expand the date range from the default six months. That should make it possible for you to find the various mods.

Here is the link for my floor brace:

I added a hide-a-spare under the floor in the entry area between the fridge and door. It's a "fat" tire, so it provides support to the floor in that area.
