I don't know exactly what eletric trailer brakes you need for your 2010 Forest River R-Pod 171 but I can help you narrow this down and give you the info you need to find this out yourself. The reason for this is because Forest River used multiple different axles on these R-Pod's, mostly due to on-hand stock. If it's a Lippert Axle it's likely their diamond/square 3,500 lb and in which case the TruRyde Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # TRU36FR is indeed correct. That said, I would hate for you to get the wrong parts so crawl under the trailer for a moment and look for the axle tag on the center of the beam. It should say LCI35 and if so that means you have a 3,500 lb axle. If it says anything else, send me a photo and I'll make sure we get you the correct replacement.
