   I agree with above those are a mistake most likely from manufacture. They need to be patched and the fabric especially, you do not want water to penetrate to the other side of fabric which will cause the wood floor to rot.

Uh Oh! Snakes on a Pod!

Sorry...I really need to go camping. Smile

I've found quite a few mis-manufactured "features". Not a big deal. Just plugged, pegged, vacuumed, etc. Worth noting and fixing, but I think it goes along with pretty much any manufactured RV - at least in this price range.

No, have not seen those holes.  Spray insulation is your friend.

I recently took delivery of a new Rpod 178 in early March.  I was inspecting the bottom panels of the Rpod and I noticed these rather strange 3 holes that penetrate the black fabric and styrofoam insulation.

All threes holes are near the front left side of the unit. Two of the holes are adjacent to each other.

Has anyone seen these holes on their unit?  Is this normal or something that should be repaired.
