   just bought a new r-pod a few months ago, has only been on one short trip, but just found out it has numerous roof leaks all over, most by seams and roof mounted running lights from factory. What a dumb oss I am, I thought I knew it all but am now finding out I should have asked others for opinions and help. Can you believe it 17,000 for my r-pod and 45,000 for my Lincoln Navigator to pull it and I haven't even got started yet traveling and they are breaking down. Forest River who I never checked on till now wont back up there products at all. Im stuck now with future large repair bills. Anybody else out there having problems with water leaks on there forest river r-pods? Also, if this is all the better the product is new whats going to happen in 1 or 2 years from now?

	Forest River has shown repeatedly to have great customer service, if you have a new pod, take it to the dealer and get it fixed under warranty. That's why people buy new. Leaks do happen to all trailers. Heck, given time they happen to all houses, and houses don't go down the road at +60mph.

	We are on our second r-pod and haven't had any leaking problems ( knock on wood). Definitely call your dealership and have them fix it under warranty! In 6 years of owning r-pods our any problem we take it right back to the delear, they deal with Forest River and everything gets fixed.

	Welcome. Definitely a first, they tend to be very well sealed. As said above, FR will stand by their warranty. Talk to your dealer.
