Front view of cherry railing. The railing slips over the horizontal mattress rail and is only friction fit. It takes seconds to install or remove and quite frankly should be offered by Forest River as an option as the upper bunk is quite dangerous for little ones to sleep on. Just my humble opinion though.

We don't have bunk beds in our 171, however, that's a neat and simple fix for probably a large number who travel with small children that sleep in the bunk beds. Nice Job. Safe Travels.

Got rid of the knee knocker table base and replaced with base and pedestal. Pretty wobbly though as the floor flexes and the base location is directly above the black water holding tank so I can't easily access the undeside of the floor to add support. Any ideas anyone?

Fabricated maple cutting board to cover cooktop. This one is a "must have" as the counter top space is nill without it.

Removed useless reciever and made removeable the back jackstands for additional clearance. Even with the axle risers I was concerned with clearence issues on the back jack stands. I am in the process of fabricating a 4"x4"x 1/8" tube steel bumper with a much sturdier reciever and will post the pictures when I have it installed. As for the jack stands I just put them in the bed of the pick-up truck while on the move.

Removed the tailgate whacker (OEM tongue jack) and installed a side mounted tongue jack that pivots to a horizontal position when in transit. If you pull with a drop tailgate vehicle this one is a must if you want to keep a dent free tailgate. It is not "if" someone drops the tailgate is is "when". I learned that with my last trailer and this was the first mod I did to our POD. Plus- when it is hooked up to the T.V. it is a lot easier to shimmy over the neck while setting up or fueling because the jack is stowed in the horizontal position.
