Floor raised up in 2018 roof 180

I have 2018.5 177 and Tina had told me ours was going to be picked up in the late spring.  Has anyone actually had this work done?  She told me that the floor will be replaced along with the axle and outriggers added (both sides?).  I'm having a hard time imagining how they can replace the floor.  There's so much plumbing and electrical going through that as well as all the structures in the interior that are attached to the floor which would need to be somehow lifted off the floor.  That's got to be a hugely complicated project and I can imagine all the things that might go wrong in that kind of undertaking.  So I'd love to hear from anyone who's had this project completed.  

My understanding is that Tina is no longer there. They have some people covering the role and watching her email. The form I filled out had a checklist and making sure the spare tire was mounted and at the correct pressure is on it. So I think they want to be sure that the trailer is towable and road worthy. So I am guessing that a license plate would be necessary. I have read that the hauling companies have both flatbed them and toward them.

Email them again using Tina’s contact. I did this week and a new person answered back with a service agreement for me to fill out and send it. I have. 180 and this matches the timeline Tina gave me before Christmas. Good luck!

Any updates on the return of your R-Pod to the factory?

Ok, good, you don't have a bent frame. The axle should be crowned a little (about 1/4 inch) in the center if you run a string line along the bottom of the axle from side to side. If it's flat it's bent.

Looks like you have a bad case of the infamous rpod outer floor sag. The floors are just two layers of lauan plywood with foam in between, and they cantilever outboard of the frame tubes, with the outer walls resting their weight plus the weight of the roof on the outside egdes of the floors. Not a very robust design, to say the least.

What I'd suggest next is to see if there is any moisture in the floor. You can get a wood moisture meter from Amazon for about $20. Poke the pins into the upper and lower lauan sheets and see if it's wet.

If it's wet you'll need to pull up the floor and dry everything out. If it's not wet then you might try jacking up the sides one at a time in several places. See how close to level you can get it. If it's pretty close (say 1/4 or so) and cosmetically acceptable to you then you could install outriggers to support the outer edges of the floor/walls, and call it good.

The outriggers carry the loads back to the frame. FR sells the outriggers because this is an well known problem, or you can fabricate them yourself. Lots of posts on this here if you do an advanced search.

I'm not saying you shouldn't try FR and see what they might do for you. They are well aware of the problem so if it's not wet (water damage is always the owners fault for not maintaining the seals) you might get something out of them. Good luck!
