Glad it was indeed just minor little things. Will look forward to your trips and pics next Spring of your travels with your Pod.

Wow, sounds like you have access to good POD service, easy, quick and done well. Well, good deal...it's always nice to know the POD is in Tip-Top shape and ready for the adventure!

For all folllowing this thread. The warranty work was done today and everything looks great.
As far as any insight into what or why, there isn't much to much to report. The only explanation was that they put these trailers together in haste and he was surprised this was all I have seen. I forgot to take pics but the work looks good. Just some re-fastening and re-sealing. PS: it was a bummer to put the pod away, I wanted to just stay out in it!! |

I will post what I find out. I have a appointment with the dealer tomorrow. They actually sell the pod too so they know it well.
Yeah we dont get much humidity here in NV although it has been raining for two days :). As far as flexing goes. I really dont know. But I would think the independent axles (which are awesome) would help keeping flex to a min while towing. |

I wonder how much flex there is in the frame. Could allowing too much weight on one or all of the stabilizers lead to gaps/leaks in various areas?
I ask only because I did recently notice that my winterized pod was sitting on rather soft ground and did "sink" just a little on one side. My stabilizers are up, so no harm done, but did lead me to wonder about flexing the frame. It would probably straighten itself out after weight removed, but does make me wonder if it could contribute to a problem like above? fred

Yup, while you have your warranty get it fixed that way. In the future, know that a bit of caulk to seal some separation gaps and some re-affixing of a trim piece might indeed be on your own personal maintenance lists.
Your dealer is probably going to do just that, bit of caulk and you'll be back out the door. Be sure and discuss if with them though and have them say that they do not see any structural issue that has lead up to this! Good luck

I would describe it as separation of the top of the wall from the ceiling resulting in a significant gap. I concur with Outbound, it is excessive, get it fixed under warranty along with anything else you can add to the list to be addressed while its in the shop. This will allow for the opportunity for a trained technician to determine the cause. Also, if for some reason it continues to be a problem, you have it on the record that it was addressed under warranty. Good luck! Please come back and let us know how things work out. We can learn a lot here about why this separation happened.

I just realized you're in NV. Probalby less humidity than a factory in IN.
