2016 R-Pod 180 serious slide issue - Event Date: 02 Nov 2017

I did own a new R-Pod 180. It was the first model year. Found the support columns on the slide separating during transport. Had to retighten the screws every time we arrived at destination. Called dealer & found they knew about the problem. Researching RV’s & seen other makers having recalls due to improper Swintek slide installation. Loved the design, but traded for a larger used Fun Finder. Loved the R-Pod for wife & I, but add a 70 lb. Boxer & it gets a bit tight, lol. Just signed in to make others aware of the issue. I checked & did not see a recall. Odd, since Grand Design’s recall advises driving could be hazardous with this problem & to seek an immediate appointment for repair before use. Needs larger screws & internal security clips. I probably would have kept it if not for this glaring problem. Retiring soon & looking forward to RVing 😎
