This is a better link on the issue. Getting access to this valve will be interesting. Way under the sink. Might be able to access it through the panel on the other side of the wall. |

And it won't be long before that same government wants to manage all of your healthcare for you... Just saying.

The weapons system I worked with my entire military career did not work, It required millions in additional contracts from the prime contractor to eventually fix the problems. The last vehicle I was involved with for the military required five semi trailers filled with bankers boxes of bid documents. |

3. You would be unable to camp in them for years as software and hardware updates were made to meet the original specs. (cough F-35 cough)

Having spent a career in manufacturing, with some of it making vehicles for the military, I know two things:
1. If rPods were made under a military contract they would cost $300,000. 2. They would be delivered with at least as many problems as current production, and FR would charge the government in another contract to fix the problems. My point is for the amount of product made there are few problems. |

I wonder how many RVs FR makes. And what the percentage of units that have this problem is what? If people make things there will be an occasional mistake. I know I make them, but apparently you do not. |

You would think FR would have these down pat by now and at least do enough training to keep the quality up to a higher or somewhat high standard.

There was also a reported issue where the hose was severely kinked, not allowing water to flow.

If getting to the dealer is convenient and it can be scheduled quickly, then it would be good to let the dealer do it. If, on the other hand, the dealer is a distance away and they tell you that it can't be done for several weeks, and you can handle simple tools, then by all means, do it yourself. I did not have the problem, but others have said that it is a simple job. The hardest part is getting to it.
