Carolina’s Pod Rally - September 20-23, 2019 - Event Date: 20 Sep 2019 - 23 Sep 2019

Time for an update. Lippert did come through and the axle is being replaced under warranty. Todd at Lippert told me that a complete axle (including brakes and hubs) was being shipped. What arrived at Shaw RV in Louisberg, NC was the axle without the brakes and hubs. I called Lippert and the brakes/hubs are being sent to Shaw RV. While Shaw is not where we bought the RPod, they are authorized for Lippert service. They are also only about 15 minutes away from us which is much better than the 2-1/2 hour drive it used to take to get to the dealer in Lexington, NC. That dealer is no longer selling RPods, so there is no incentive to go there. Shaw RV does not sell RPods either, except for ones they take in trade. They recently had a 178 (IIRC) which they sold a day or two ago.

Lippert is also covering the labor for the installation of the new axle. I was led to believe I would need to pay and then file for reimbursement, but today at Shaw, I was told they would contact Lippert about filing for payment directly with Lippert.
