The risers ordered from FR, $75 plus UPS, come with an illustrated instalation sheet. My local RV guy installed them for me for about $140, said that the instructions were quite adequate.

I bought risers through FR late last fall after I had winterized. After dewinterizing and taking off the cover and getting her on flat ground (there is not much of that in Harrison co Indiana) looks like the risers are pretty simple, use good tools, wheel chocks and jack stands for safety. I also have the rhino tube 60 inches and the mounting brackets are perfectly set to run from frame to frame. I measured today and it looks like the best place for it is between the front of the pod and the black water dump valve. The frame is a box frame and there is no wiring or gas lines near where I want to put it. also both ends of the new tube also open, so the new tube should be about 8 or 10 inches to the left of the black water dump valve, very handy. I also mounted the oxygenics shower head I have had for a while, I had to wait for the back ordered chrome head hanger, looks nice, cant wait to try it. Heck I cant wait to get the pod on the road, saw another large 75 to 80 V formation of Canada Geese heading due north at about 2000 feet, to heck with that ground hog.
