Brand new 2016 RPod 179 is leaking like a sieve!

Lots of rain in south Texas too.  After reading through this string, I went out and checked our #179.  We have a runner from the door to the fridge and one edge (next to the cabinets) was damp after this morning's heavy rain and high winds.  Had not noticed that before.  The top of the cabinets was dry.  The damp area was just about in the middle between the door and the fridge.  I couldn't find a problem around the door caulking.  Not much to go on. 

When the Pod was new, the dealer replaced the fridge and did not do a good job of sealing around the top.  It's usually good to check out the work of others, so I got that sealed with silicone as soon as I spotted it.  Unfortunately, I didn't check the sides or bottom.  When things dry out, those areas will get a good check out. 

We have had heavier rains since we got the pod, and strong winds too, but not at the same time.  The winds were blowing toward the slide-out side, so maybe that is where the leak is, but I'll go over the door caulking too.  Sounds like it's mostly a #179 problem. 

Thanks for the heads-up!

I have a new 2016 RPod 179 that I bought earlier this month.  After hearing about leaking issues, I sealed all the tops and sides of the windows with clear silicone sealant.   I didn't seal the bottom so that the water could escape out the bottom (hopefully outside!).   It started raining a few days ago and I went out to check to see if I had any leaks.   The windows were doing fine - no leaks.  However, I had my slide out rolled out,  and I think where the RPod is parked the roof of the Rpod is sloping slightly toward the Rpod. There was a significant leak around the slide.  I think water was coming off the roof, down the side of the slide, and hitting the horizontal sliders and running right inside.   I pulled in the slide out, and since then, no leaks at all.   At least now I know before another rain comes that if I have the slide out, I need to make sure the camper is slightly sloped down toward the slide, and not the other way around.   Good lesson to learn.  

Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes, our sealing strip is also unglued and quite wet behind it. Thanks for educating me about the moisture meter and also what you were told. I am hoping this can be rectified to at least stop the leak in Chatanooga. I agree about the quality. They seem to be thrown together. This is our second RV, the first was a Little Guy T@B which we owned for about 8 months before the upgrade. I hope we get these issues fixed and don't run into any more!! Happy camping!

We are experiencing the same issue. We purchased our 2016 Rpod 179 outside Cincinatti in July. Made the trip back home to Texas and all was fine, but no rain. Now there have been rains at home but no notice of any leaks. Just had family members visit and use at home. Radio had quit working. Loading up for this trip noticed AC not blowing from one vent. Accessed trailer today, day 1 of a three week trip, to notice everything soaking wet on counter near sink and cabinets under neath. Cleaned up the mess, attempted to pinpoint leak and thought I had, to the top of the window seal. Stopped at Lowe's and purchased a wide weather stripping. Dried everything off above seal and put in place. Just pulled in to campground about half hour ago. Rain started up again. So did the leak. We are scheduled at Camping World in Chatanooga for the radio exchange. I'm hoping they can remedy this issue and the AC too. Biggest problem is we are due to be in rain all the way to Chatanooga. Any other ideas? I did not want to silicone or such for fear it might void my warranty.

Double ditto.  Cover it with a tarp pronto until you get it to the dealer (and then tarp it again).
