I did notice that he didn't have anything to say about stealing the design. They are a company with a good reputation for quality products.

Yeah, Terry...a person knows where they stand with you, eh??
The only thing on that list that really interests me are the shades instead of the dang blinds. Other than that, no WOWs. And where are the interior pictures, Hearland??

I agree RF is probably going to have to step up. That's what America is about building the better mouse trap (with rv'ers as the mice).
It would be kind kool, as they made improvements to offer UPGRADES to existing owners. With owner loyalty discounts, i.e. hand sink upgrade kit.

It is possible they read the forum and see what the comments were. Good and bad. Actually, that isn't a bad idea at all. Below is what I sent them. So no I didn't tell them I have a R-Pod.

I see that you are copying the R-Pod by Forest River with your MPG. What is
the matter, no imagination of your own? I am disappointed in you. Terry |

Looks like its back, but now under the Maintenance section. It originally was under the Misc. section. So the question now is - did it disappear for a while, or was it just moved from the start and we missed it?

I think the compitition has been reading about all of the mods or at least looking at the r-pod and thinking 'what can we do better? and 'what do the people want?' Many of the 'improvements' are what we have been doing to our pods! How much do you wanna bet that forest river will doing many of these options real soon????

It would appear that it is gone. I posted a statement about it. I wonder how long that will last.
