Calendar Event: 2016 - 180 Issues Posted: 21 Aug 2016 at 4:02pm |
I'm reading a lot about issues on the Rpods. I pick up my 2016 180 next week. While all the issues are not for that model, most parts are probably the same. Here is what I have gathered so far: sagging roof with standing water; loose water connections in the bathroom; non-working converter; bad seaming on the outside where the skin doesn't meet; loose screws on the outside after a short amount of time; broken faucet handles; star cracks where screws maybe pushing through; leaking windows; blackwater value installed incorrectly; malfunctioning propane and gas detector. Anything else?

Sometimes the sky does fall, Chris. I just don't want to make a economic mistake that leaves me stranded in the middle of no where. Hopefully, none of this happens to you. Sky back in place....

Remember that for every problem you read about on a forum like this, there are dozens of owners with no problems. You get a much higher percentage of negatives vs. positives.

THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of RV's are produced with the same parts. MOST owners never have an issue, and don't come looking for some place to point out how perfect their camper is.. they go camping.
If you go sit outside the Mercedes Benz Service bay for a couple days, you will be sure all MB's are junk. Because the only ones you see are broken. All the ones that aren't.. aren't there. Same here, many owners find themselves here when they have a problem. +20K Pods out there. Going to be a few issues. If that doesn't make sense to you, or you are still worried, then cancel the order. We would much rather you be happy in something else, then to be unhappy in a pod. |

Wow.... If you heard about that many problems why buy the RV, because now you"ll always be looking for the problems. My R-pod is a 2013 (171) and never had a problem other than the normal wear and tear which regular maintenance can take care of.
