I just received this from Heartland RV. Followed by my original e-mail to them:
Thank you for your interest in the MPG, and to ensure that you have
all your information correct, I will provide you with a list of improvements /
feature that the MPG has over all
competitors
1) Gel-coat fiberglass
2) 15" tires not 14"
3) 2 20lb LP tanks not 1
4) Night shade not blinds
5) shower surround----not just a shower pan with
unprotected bathroom walls
6) a sink in the bath room to wash your hands versus
no sink in the bath room
7) black tank flush versus
N/A
8) Matching aluminum spare tire versus plain steel
wheel
9) ABS molded fender skirts versus raw
metal
10) larger Refer
11) a larger sewer hose holder vs. a very small sewer
hose holder
I hope this helps you in the
future
Mike Creech

The MPG sounds good would like to see it at a local dealer or RV show. The bath sounds like it is a improvement over the RPod. I am curious what the specifications are, the height, width, weight, tongue weight, etc. The finders I think I would rather have the metal as on the RPod. David

It would appear that it is gone. I posted a statement about it. I wonder how long that will last.

I think the compitition has been reading about all of the mods or at least looking at the r-pod and thinking 'what can we do better? and 'what do the people want?' Many of the 'improvements' are what we have been doing to our pods! How much do you wanna bet that forest river will doing many of these options real soon????

Looks like its back, but now under the Maintenance section. It originally was under the Misc. section. So the question now is - did it disappear for a while, or was it just moved from the start and we missed it?

I can't tell if it was just moved either.

So did they just go down our wishlist and pick the mods we wanted? Did you tell them you had an R-pod? I agree RF is probably going to have to step up. That's what America is about building the better mouse trap (with rv'ers as the mice). It would be kind kool, as they made improvements to offer UPGRADES to existing owners. With owner loyalty discounts, i.e. hand sink upgrade kit. Lee |

It is possible they read the forum and see what the comments were. Good and bad. Actually, that isn't a bad idea at all. Below is what I sent them. So no I didn't tell them I have a R-Pod. From: @earthlink.net
