R-Pod 179 Ottoman Modification

Hey John, Same thing happened to me with my ottoman when the camper was new. I forgot to take the top cushion off before I brought the slide in and that was enough to loosen the screws (make those big holes in the floor) and knock the ottoman over. Fortunately when I had it in for service the dealer put it back in place for me, and I added a couple reassurance screws after I got it home.

Love this idea! It works perfect for us, thanks.

Can’t use the dinette as a bed anymore.

Looks really good John! Great job!

What can a person do to secure the ottoman to the floor better?

Does this problem reflect the quality everywhere else in the rpod?

Hello John. I travel in my R-pod 190 for a living (travel nurse). I've learned to use every nook and cranny for storage. My 190 has the "U" shaped dining area in the back. With just me and my dog I didn't require all the sitting room. I removed the cushions along one wall and placed a small, pressed wood, 6 hole shelving unit. I purchased canvas boxes that fit in each hole. I have more storage than I need now. The shelving unit is black, and isn't a perfect match for the interior, but it has proven to be a great modification without having to do any reconstruction! Thanks again for your great videos! I am currently in Eureka, CA and the weather is sunny and cool on Jan. 14th!! Happy trails!

Great idea! I wanted some more room for my sewing machine and that’s is great!

Hi John don't we need the Ottomans if we want to convert that area for sleeping? Thanks!

John, I like this idea and the space create. I have one question for you, or others making this alteration before I jump into removing one or both of the ottomans : Does the slide our need the ottomans for support when pulled inside? The bottom of the "bed / seat" seems to rest on the ottomans. Without that support could something happen to the slideout.?
Really like comment since I'm ready to do this if there is no problem with slide integrity. Thanks.

Love what you did! Do you think there would be a way to reliably mount a Lagun table to the couch base?

Does the ottoman support the slide out when IN?
