Poor Forest River quality control

That would be annoying!

Hello?????? FR? Anybody there?  This is inexcusable..... You're ruining a very good brand!

Wow! And I thought that the drain plumbing under the sink not being tightened properly was bad. My condolences. I hope you got things dried out well before any damage was done. In our case, the drain plumbing connectors were loose, and water leaked out and into the drawers beneath the sink. The middle drawer caught the bulk of the water. Unfortunately, we had two brand-new cookbooks in there. They got soaked. We were able to dry them out, but the pages are all wrinkled so that it does not lie quite as flat as it should. There are also water stains.

Forest River does have a disclaimer that it is the owner's responsibility to check the plumbing connections. However, this should not be an excuse for them to skip the QA checks before it ships. This should have been caught before it left the factory. Your problem should also have been caught before it left the factory.

We have a 2016 179. Under the right side of the countertop where the shelves are is a panel that conceals both the shore power plug-in port and the connections for the outside shower. The pipes for the shower were installed just pulled up and screwed to the back of the shower. They were not fully tight, so this leaked just a little. When I had the panel out, I took the pipes off and installed 90 degree elbows so that the pipes would connect straight instead of bending. I figure that there would be less stress on them and they would be more likely to not leak this way. I also checked all of the plumbing fittings I could get to.

Agree with Podster.  If damage is apparent the dealer should either swap yours out for another one, under warranty, or fess up and make the necessary fixes and adjustments, on his nickel.

 DW and I were sitting in our 2015 179, and noticed two items that surely show that whoever is on the assembly line at the Dallas plant could care less about their product.  The A/C shroud (air defector) had pulled the outer screws except  2 out of the ceiling and was ready to fall>  They had forgot to put the two screws that go into the A/C, these are the ones that hold that air deflector up, the outer screws just hold it tight to the ceiling.  Also the fantastic was coming down on one corner, upon looking at it, the one corner screw missed the stud.  Now I wonder what else is missing.
