I assume you mean R-POD Nation. I really haven't had any problems to speak of. I had a water leak around a window and had to have the keyed door lock replaced. That is it.

I've had no problems either, except that my R-Dome ripped, but FR replaced that under warranty. I have no complaints. ------------- 2011 RP 177, the Hodge-PODge 2011 Mercedes ML350 "A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it." |

I've had some minor problems, just like some people on the Casita forum has reported minor problems with theirs. At the end of the day, we've had a fantastic dealer who has taken care of those problems and gotten us back on the road quickly. ------------- Adventures with ¡Podtástic!--Life in a Forest River RPod 182G with Tim and Louis and our two cats, Desi and Lucy.

Our only problem was the front and rear decals peeling. I removed them and actually like the look better. ------------- Leaf-Pod 173 97 Ford Explorer http://www.leaflin.net - http://www.leaflin.net |

travelite, I think that the vast majority of Pod owners have not have any serious problems. I know that my 2010 (purchased June) has had no problems. We have been out in a lot of severe weather and it sat through hurricane Irene uncovered with no leaks at all. I am really pleased with the unit and will be using it for many years to come. We are not interested in going bigger. Good luck on your quest. ------------- Ben & Lorrie 2013 Surveyor 264 |

Travelite, somewhere around here I posted pics of my pod, I had the front and rear stickers removed about 2 months ago after they started peeling for the 2nd time.

No problems here either. I love mine. I also had the front decals peel, so I removed them and the Pod looks great without them. I also had to replace the gasket around the storage doors, but that was simply due to normal aging and wear. I like doing my own work, it gives me personal pride, so I don't mind if small issues crop up. ------------- 2010 Rpod 172 :) 2004 Chevy Trailblazer |

Even people with top of the line motorhomes have some problem at first. I talked to a guy once that had a $500,000 motorhome. He had a list of 15 minor things that needed fixed, adjusted etc. It seems to be an industry standard that final inspection is low on the priority list.
