Topic: R pod on order Posted: 04 May 2021 at 9:19pm |
We have an R pod 196 on order and can't wait to get it and start using it! Can someone tell me if there is a TV antenna already installed on the new models or just wiring? I can't seem to find the info. Thank you!

I have never seen one without unless the owner has removed it. We special ordered our 177 without the entertainment system, A/C, or microwave/convection oven yet it came delivered with the antenna on top, the plug in the ceiling to hook up A/C in the future in case we change our mind and the same for the oven, came with a hot plug ready to install one in case I wanted to.

We received our 196 in February, and yes it does have a powered antenna for the TV.
Congrats on your new pod!

Thanks so much. That is helpful. We ordered Feb 1 and still waiting. The fire at the factory didn't help! Hopefully we will have it in the next few weeks.

Thank you! We are getting anxious for it to arrive now. I have so much stuff that I have ordered for it in my basement!

Fire notwithstanding, what is the lead time to have a 'pod delivered?

They told us 10-15 weeks at end of January. Order was placed with Forest River February 1. This is week 14. It's supposedly coming off line around May 12. Dealer said he hoped we could take delivery by the end of the month.

That's not too bad, took much longer for ours. Maybe the market is settling down some?
Like you, we had our dining room full of stuff we ordered for the pod. At least it gave us time to do plenty of research, and time to get just about all of it correct the first time. This forum helped greatly with that.
You may want to consider some of the Pod rallies, good people and good fun. There is one in Gettysburg in October.
