Hello RPod'ers

I need to replace the slide out seals. Have searched all over the interweb, with no luck to find the exact part with dual wiper seals.

Any help as to manufacturer and part number will be splendid.

Many thanks in advance.

I don't know what the vintage of your 178 is, but this is the part information for our 2017 RP179.

Thank you so much. If you have ordered this please let me know where from. I have searched for that part number to no avail, even on Lippert's site which I understand owns Schwintek.

I ordered directly from Forrest River.

I wrote to Katlyn Mabie <kmabie@forestriverinc.com>. It's possible she's not there any more, but she also gave me this phone number to order directly: 574-642-3119

I just ordered a hanger bracket for the black water drain line and that is the working phone number for R-Pod parts. The person that I talked to was Tanisha Holmes and she was very helpful. I am sure she can help you also.
