Great report. Thank you so much for posting all the pictures. They were fascinating - and we now have an idea where to find studs if we should decide to actually drill into the walls.
Over the past few months I've come to realize that you are one of those perfectionists among us. If you were impressed by the quality of the production process, that's really saying something.

I picked up an MPG brochure but it is in the truck. I will find it tomorrow and let you know what the width is if it is cited. I do know that it is longer and higher than the Pod.

Very Interesting Perspective on the Pod Sandpiper. The pictures are comforting, and with your added descriptions they become very realistic.
This is an excellent view inside the Pod ..... Thanks for the insight, and the pics !!!

Great shots, but I wish you could show us how the roof is framed - did you get any shots of that part of the process? Thanks!

Sorry, I don't have any shots of that to share. But I can assure you it is done in a structurally sound and similar manner to the side walls. I can tell you the skin for the front, roof and back is one continuous piece well supported, well insulated , well sealed and installed with great care. |

Thanks for getting that.
If the MPG is required to have the triple lights along with the front and rear fender lights to comply with the 80-inch rule, then it seems the Pod would have to have them too. Both have a coach width less than 80" but a total width (including wheels/fenders) wider than 80".
If anyone hears a final word on this, please post it here. We're supposed to pick up our pod very soon in Hamilton and I'd like to have them make any required modifications while they still have the trailer. I will also follow up on this issue with Brannon when he calls to let us know our Pod is ready for pickup and will post his response here.
Take care,
-- Steve

tedbear The boat trailer we had had the same problem with the jack being too close to the ground. We had a removable wheel which was removed any time the trailer was in tow and re installed before we unhooked from the tow vehicle. That worked out well for the boat trailer and I plan to purchase a wheel from the jack manufacturer for the R Pod and remove it when we tow the R Pod. |

We purchased the Wheel and the Foot from the manufacturer and we're using the foot at the camp. I'm sure the Wheel will be great for moving the Pod on a level surface. For the most part we will be using the foot. Not as snug as I had hoped for, but it don't get more snugger(?) than from the manufacturer.
We have touched the jack once in the driveway. It is close, but so far so good. We too add the foot before detachment, and remove before towing.
