Outriggers Forest River parts

Interesting how this worked,  in removing the channel lip and inserting the outrigger I still could not get all of the outriggers to lay flush to the floor but was able to get two of them them to sync up in the corner where the floor and the frame meet,  the other two are very close to the corner.  I believe this has to do with the "squareness" of the floor to the frame,  seems to be a bit of slop.  As much as I tried to get them to true up to the floor and the corner  it didn't happen.  I am satisfied though that there is significantly more support from the frame to the edge of the trailer body.  Time will tell,  I suppose the squaring up of the floor would be to remove  from the outrigger the end where the screws hold to the frame (in the AL channel) and attach to the floor further down toward the frame  but this would require knowledge where the floor "joists"  are located to attach.  Not exact but this is a hand built vehicle and there will be issues along these lines as we have seen.  Sometimes best effort is all we can hope for.  

came to the same conclusion that the load is pushed out to the edge of the floor and transferred across the outrigger to the frame,  I feel more comfortable these are installed,  not terribly difficult to install

Just read this thread. I have a 2018 R179 and will be checking to see if it has outriggers or not. I see people order 4 of them; are two used on each side of the camper, or do all 4 go under the slider? How many inches is the spacing between them?

What length screw did you use going up into the floor?
