I ask for an update every 30 days for my 190 and I always get a snippy response.

Update! They’ll be sending me an outrigger kit. They wanted to verify that there was not excessive deflection or damage, so I sent a bunch of pics. I also went the extra mile to describe what I’ve done to the trailer for maintenance and improvements so they’d know I’m a capable DIYer. Catching bees with you honey!

I mean I asked for the brackets and was just going to do it myself...I was told no.  There is probably 3/4" drop over 5" so that is pretty drastic in my book...

Sounds like more of a “repair” in their minds. My deflection was much smaller. Good luck to you.

Hey Glue Guy,
I just stumbled across this post and have a question for you.  Did you provide spec's for them to create the outriggers or was it something that they already had spec's for and you just had to order?  How long ago did you get the?  

Since I'm going to be in the Fenton, MO area in a couple of months was thinking I could maybe order and pick them up and save some $$.  

TIA.

We ordered them back in February. They told me via email that they were making outriggers for both the 179 and 180. I suggest you call them at 636-600-1171 to find out if they can accommodate you.

I just noticed the slide side wall on our 2018 RP-180 is beginning to sag. I contacted the local dealer (Avalon RV in Medina, OH) and asked about purchasing the outriggers. They did not have them in stock, but took my order for 6 of them on 4/11/2023, and said they would have them drop-shipped to my home address. The cost was $7.54 each plus tax and shipping. 

Today, 4/14/2023, the package containing the 6 outriggers arrived!

I plan to install these myself, per the helpful instructions posted by John Marucci in this video:


I'll post my results here when done.
