Hi there! It's possible the Lippert Manual Pull Out Single Step # LC432678 will work on your 2017 Forest River R-Pod 179, especially since your original step was also a single step. This one is 24 1/4 inches wide, has a 7 inch drop, and supports up to 300 lbs. We'll just need to check a couple of measurements to make sure it's going to be a good fit.

The first thing I'd check is your threshold height, which is simply the distance from the ground up to the bottom of your RV's doorway. To get that measurement, park your R-Pod on level ground, make sure it's sitting at its normal camping height, and measure straight up from the ground to the top of the door threshold where you step into the camper. This helps us determine whether a single step will give you a comfortable step up into your RV. These steps require a entry height of 14-1/4" - 17-1/4".

Next, measure the space underneath your camper where the original step was mounted. This Lippert step requires a mounting bracket width of 25 3/4 inches. You'll also need the Lippert Outriggers and Mounting Bracket # LC301704.

If you let me know your the width of the brackets on your old step and the entry height of the RPOD, I can find you a step that fits.
