R Pod Outrigger Debacle

purchased R Pod in February from a dealer in Green Bay WI and dragged it home to the far east side of Michigan, near the Blue Water Bridge. It's been in storage, so last weekend I backed it in the driveway so the wife could give the Pod a "deep clean" as she likes to call it. My wife walks out of the garage with rubber gloves and bucket in tow and says, "why's the trailer leaning so much"? This was my introduction to the outrigger debacle. Thank goodness for Google and You Tube. I placed four calls to Forest River looking for outriggers, with no response. I then called a local R Pod dealer trying to find outriggers. He informed me that he has two orders from February waiting to be filled from FR and says they're on back order. He suggested trying to find a shop that could fabricate them. A local shop said they could make them and asked me to draw a sketch with the measurements and they would put a price together for me. After work that day, as I was under the Pod taking measurements Forest River called back.  I told her I was looking for outriggers. She said they do have some in stock but asked if I had any pictures showing the problem and if the floor was sagging inside. I told her yes and yes and that it looked like there were signs of water penetration at the wall and floor, next to the cubby under the fridge. She said, "it sounds like we may have to have you bring your trailer in so we can take care of this". I asked her if FR was trying to make things right with this problem, and she said, yes. She asked me to email her with pictures and she would get back with me. As I am typing this, FR emailed me asking for the last seven numbers of my VIN. I really hope they can fix the problem. Just thought this info may help others.

I'll keep you posted

Mind if I ask what the price was?
