Forest River QC dropping a little?

So far we've only had a couple of minor issues. One being the door latch plate was installed upside down not allowing the lock to work and the dvd player cables weren't hooked up to the plug in plate on the wall. Fixed both myself.

Did they mention that they will stand behind their product and make the necessary fixes to the pods already on the road?
Thanks for the comment BTW.

I'm still trying to figure out what's Podgahzi!?

I recently spoke with someone at FR who is in a position to know what he is talking about.  I specifically asked about quality control and why so many seem to be not fully inspected before being sent off to the dealers, and properly completed.  Which is another hit or miss situation.  His answer was, a few years ago the rate of Pods coming off the line each day were about 8.  With the phenomenal success of the Rpods, the production rate has been increased to over 20 a day.  Many come off the line "green" meaning they still have some production deficits that have to be addressed.  They are parked out in the parking lot, and inspectors try to catch all of the needed repairs before they are sent to the dealers.  Obviously, many of the Pods are not fully completed before shipping.  Some dealers do and some don't fully check out the Rpod before delivery.  They are being swamped with their own success.  I'm sure they are fully aware of our concerns and are doing all they can to improve the final delivered product.  The entire industry is struggling with this and other supply problems of raw material.  The shipping strike was devastating to the entire RV industry whereby many items are purchased from overseas suppliers.  A unit would be partially completed and parked outside awaiting other material to be installed.  Meanwhile, the dealers are screaming for product.  Catch 22.  Do they slow production to await all items before shipping or wait for completion and have the dealers screaming for product?  We are all buying too many RV's for current production runs.  What to do? 

To truly give credit where it is due.......I would blame a lot of that on the dealership. They knew about it and did not fix it before it left their lot. I know from having bought 2 r-pods there are some tweaks the dealers need to do as they do a day or two on "delivery prep" to each pod before sale and they also cannibalize some of the pods that sit on the lots and "mean" to replace stuff later. I have gone to the dealership and left with co detectors, faucet parts, micro-wave instructions and other parts that so i did not have to wait for parts.
