I want to replace the black edging that fits in the channels around the edges of the Rpod, but I'm not sure what it's called or where to buy it. The sun has cracked a lot of it and I had a section shred and fall off on the highway recently. Thanks!

I purchased my on Amazon and it is called Camco 25212 Vinyl Trim Insert (1" x 100', Black), and I think it comes in white. You might be able to get it through e-trailer or ebay also. ------------- Jay 179/2019 |

I ordered JR Products 10111 Premium Vinyl Insert. It is much thicker than the original that came with the R-Pod and lasted from when I got it in May, 2018 until we traded the R-Pod for the current Grey Wolf in 2023. It was still in good shape then and had not hardened or cracked like the cheap insert that the factory installed. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0031Y7Z0A - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0031Y7Z0A ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

| Thank you, good to know. Because it's thicker, is it any more difficult to install? |

If it is cold, yes. However, it is flexible when warm and was not a problem to insert. I say warm because a nice summer day will be plenty warm for it. It doesn't need to be hot. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

| Just wanted to say thanks again for the link. I finally found the time to get this stuff installed. Nice warm day so it softened right up and installed a lot faster than I thought it would. |
