Topic: R-pod HRE Pictures and Flyer Posted: 04 Aug 2011 at 11:45pm |
Well, we gave at least 2 tours a day on our last trip. We ran out of flyers by the second day. People just love the 'Pod!

So I take it you get a lot of requests for tours?  Two years ago when it was a brand new model we gave several every day of every trip.

We just asked for a bunch of flyers from our dealer to take with us on our trips, and he said they ran out and have been on order for quite a while, but none have been sent out yet from FR. The original flyer we received with our 'Pod was a lot more professional looking than the one posted above. I just wonder if this one is going to replace the older, better one...I hope not.

We have the same problem as Panzer's bed is right there. It beeps in the middle of the night some times. Maybe her hind end is facing it??? |
Also a possibility! Silly doggies setting off our alarms. Oh well, wouldn't think of camping without them!

Yup, I had the LP detector go off the other day when I turned the A/C fan on. I pushed the silence button and it went silent for a little while, then sounded again.
I noticed that there is an expiration date on it and mine's been expired since last July, only three months after we bought the 'pod.
We've had it go off a number of times while camping, too. Luckily not while trying to sleep, though.
