Well.. It doesn't mean no one has one.. but so far no one with one has felt like responding maybe..

I seriously doubt the warranty changes much, if at ll.. A year from FR for everything, then, most of your appliances have a 2 year, but in the second year it's between you and the component manufacturer to work it out.

Contacting FR is probably the best bet.. though I can't say for sure. I think the basic warranty is covered in the brochure each year, and somewhere on FR's Pod site, I am pretty sure they have copies of old brochures...

Well, I'm not asking FR or my Dealer for a copy and showing I don't have one.. In my situation, a hand better not shown.

I have heard from the owner of the FB Group and he believes the only change that occurred was the change to a 1 year warranty. Hopefully that's true.

I know I read it at purchasing and asked my typical questions, which in my state adds a 'Implied Warranty'. The Implied part would be the Dealership, not FR or Lippert. I really hope it doesn't go that far!

I wouldn't worry about letting them know you don't have a copy of the warranty. Federal law requires them to provide you with access to your warranty. They offer the warranty freely as part of their normal business, you purchased the obligations defined in it when you bought the product. It was part of the basis for the deal. Its not like they can now decide not to honor it because you lost your copy or use that as an opportunity to modify it after the fact.  

That's not to say that they might not refuse to cover your loss on the grounds that it is excluded by the warranty language.  That is a completely different matter. 

Again, not yet a hand I wish to show. Yet I understand what your saying. Reason I'm looking for another way.

To my favor is NH Warranty Law. Expectation of use according to, (key wording here) description of product. By Law, in NH, I'm covered within 4 years of purchase, with of course appreciation or deprecation applied.  I love NH for so many reasons!

I still hope I do not need to use any of the research or resources I have now accumulated. I consider myself a realist, working on optimistic results. I look at a half empty glass of water and don't debate it's fullness, just decide wether or not I'm thirsty. As a realist, I keep a gallon of water in the shop frig, in case I am. Never know if you need.

When did you take delivery of your 182?

4/18 mid-month..

Understand, I wish you well, and hope things come to a resolution you are happy with.. But am doubtful you have much legal recourse against FR.

Among other things, you and your lawyer will have to prove the frame was/is faulty, and that you never overloaded/crashed/dragged/etc it.. They have a lot of evidence on their side, like the fact that it isn't any kind of regular thing.. in fact, it's just about the only one I remember after 10 years of joining the Pod world.. If you get lucky, catch them on a good day, maybe they will (for good will) repair it, but there is of course no requirement for them to do anything after the warranty period.

Well, two actually.. Yet the main one is the extended warranty I purchased. The other is NH Warranty Law, of which I am a resident, purchased and took delivery in NH. 

Again, hoping for the simplest resolution to this.

My impression was that it was FR extending the policy. Now this is scary.. 

That would mean there would be a separate agreement within my paperwork showing the provider.. Or so you'd think.. I have to think through this information.

Still a hand I don't wish to show right now..

Yet another motto I live by (with certain modifactions)

Huh?? I have done anything underhanded here? All I am doing is educating myself of what 'could' be the eventual outcome. Don't know about you, but I'd rather have the knowledge and never have to use it, then need it and have no freakin' clue what to do.

To the second point, you can not devise a contract that does follow the Law. The Law supersedes. Heck, anything can be argued in court, but the decision is according to Law. 

In my state, you can not sell an item 'as is'. Any sale carries, by Law, a implied warranty of what you sold/purchased, will do what it is designed to do. Factored by age of the item and a few other things..

In my state this has a 4yr maximum limitation. Again, depending upon item and age of.   

Again, I wish you all the luck in the world, and am very interested in the outcome. I hope you keep us updated on the proceedings and the eventual outcome/repair.

BTW, did you find any information on the extended warranty you purchased?

 Why would the dealership offer it? 

 I also, think, near as I can tell, you intend to argue it wasn't "suitable" to use for the purposes you bought it for.. ie: camping. But it was, you camped in it. The fact that it got damaged, doesn't mean it wasn't suitable.

What the argument presented, if it comes to such, will be determined at that point. Nothing, nor any approach has been determined.  

As far as underhanded, that's not what I said. 

But your reluctance to contact and work with the dealer

 or FR, so as not to "show your hand" at least to me, strongly implies you intend to try to spring something on them, or catch them in some way doing you wrong. At least that's how I see it.

I have no intention of 'springing' anything on them. And by Law, I can no do so. All intent has to be disclosed before any legal action can happen. Doing otherwise breaches 'any' warranty. Preparing for such an event is smart and legally within my rights to do.

I do have in mind a repair, of which I'd be willing to pay additional, to have done as I wish it to be. That I believe will be an eventual outcome of the situation. Without research and knowledge... where would I be? 

I'll keep you folks posted as I am. Some information will obviously remain with me and the Dealership.
