Recent Quality Concerns? Fall 2015 On Especially?

Doug, you don't miss a thing, you sharp eyed owl !  They also had an upgrade harness for 2 horses to pull, instead of the usual 1 horse model.

Originally posted by codycountry I 100 % agree with you Keith.  Plus I haven't seen even one class action lawsuit, maybe there are some out there?   Yet venting is good for the soul sometimes, so I hope they feel better. My 1013 Rpod has been a solid build.  I've pulled it up some rocky two track 4x4 roads and rough gravel roads and all I've fixed is on piece of stapled on trim that came off, and a sticky bathroom door trim.  Easy.  No complaints.

As the original author of this topic that has gotten much attention in the last few days, I thought I'd post an update. I purchased my 2016 179 and picked it up on December 16. It's been great! A few minor issues, but nothing at all major or unexpected. I will say that thanks to this forum and the FB group I was well educated with what to look for as warning signs before agreeing to purchase. My dealer had 4 179's on the lot and I deeply inspected each and hand picked the one I wanted to purchase. My dealer let me spend extensive, unsupervised time in each one. I will say there was 1 in which I found several of the issues I'd read about. On mine, I saw none. The minor issues I've dealt with have been an unconnected interior speaker (easy fix), a broken flip foot jack bolt after 2 trips (easy fix), and a pain in the you know what gas/CO2 detector (still working on that).

I adore my pod. I'm so glad I found this forum and the FB group to support me through my first time RVer fears. I am much more active on the FB group than this group, due to convenience as well as level of activity. But, I hope to see y'all around both places!

Originally posted by codycountry Techntrek, I really want the trebuchet rack for my Rpod out here in the formerly wild west.  Kindly provide contact info for purchase.  Then provide the build info for the trebuchet.  That would be a blast!  I love those things.   Maybe I can get a grizzly bear or wolf with one of those.  Whole new perspective to Rpoding.  Fun stuff.   Thanks for opening up new Rpod horizons!

Originally posted by Retroactive Oh, I agree the level of QC is unacceptable.  FR should not be using the "F*ck it, ship it!" mentality.  Things like plumbing disasters will eventually bring them a lot of pain in the form of class action lawsuits.  Trust me, I am keeping my fingers crossed... I already found some things that made me go grrr! (I'll be addressing some of those issues during my next mod diary update)

Gee. this seems like a threat to me.  As for reading your posts I am not likely to give them much time in the future.  Have a nice life.
