Do the batteries last very long?

They are battery operated. There is a nice remote with the light that was, and will be again once repairs are done, next to the door.

Stephen
are your lights over the sink battery powered or 12volt from Pod? |

The rear spoiler is the black plastic piece running across the back where the roof curves down toward the back. There are three running lights contained in it. On our 2016 R-Pod 179, it is curved. The newer models have one that is straight across the width of the R-Pod.
Thank you. Posting the mods was almost as much fun as doing them. |

With the anticipated repairs to our escaPOD from this winter's wreck (see "I wrecked our escaPOD"), I will have a chance to do some of my mods over again. This time, I will have the benefit of experience so the mods should go faster and turn out better.

Trailer jack hole patterns seem to be pretty universal. You can see in my previous posts which jack I chose. We've had it for several months now, and I am happy with its performance. You could take some measurements of the manual jack's bolt locations and check that way.

Has anyone replace the R-POD manual jack with a Harbor Freight electric jack (Haul Master 69899)?
Will it fit? Or does anyone have the hole diameter and bolt hole circle dimensions. I do not want to purchase the jack and find out it does not fit my 2015 R-POD 171. Bil Miller - Elmira, NY

Thanks for the information. I'll make a template out of 1/4" plywood using your dimensions and then go from there as I need to.

I started with two pieces of scrap wood. After gluing and screwing them together, I just notched out to fit the shape of the axle plus squared off more on the one side so that the wires that go to the brake drum would fit there. The flat parts on top are for the bracket that attaches the axle to sit on. Giving you the dimensions of mine wouldn't guarantee that it would work for your setup. Check and fit to the shape for your axle.
Length: 8" Width: 3-5/8" Notch depth: 2" Notch angle: 45 degrees on one side, 90 degrees on the other Flat part of notch bottom: 2-1/4" Hopefully with the picture and these dimensions, you will be able to make a block that works for your R-Pod. |
