New member with new Pod - Event Date: 23 May 2017

"I suppose if I had purchase a used trailer it would have been expected to have problems"

I am a fan of buying used. Not to mention the cost reduction, I have also found someone else endured the warranty issues which means I'm not moving the Pod to the nearest RV center. Granted I do the maintenance, but I'm retired and it keeps me busy. I bought a new truck in 2016, and have had it in for 8 recalls, had I bought a used 2015 the recalls would have been done. I will add buying used does entail looking closely at what you are buying. Just a consideration.

From all the posts I've seen on this board about the woes of new pod purchases, I'm glad I bought a uses one, that's had the bugs worked out.  A well cared for used pod can be a great deal.

Yes, I have had that happen, it wasn't a lot of water but noticeable. You need a small ladder if nothing else but to clear debris from slide out roof and wipe water off before you bring it in.

I have good experience with fantastic fan (exhaust fan). I do have a cover so I can use it in the rain. I also have a small electric fan I set up on the floor beneath dinette to move air. Not good for boon docking.

That is good to know the water issue is a rather normal thing.

Well the things I noticed were changed in 2018 is a King antenna instead of the old wing style, 15inch class D tires, a Maxfan exhaust vent with new built in mounting tabs new style shades. The big thing was the heavier cushions on the extensions of the dinette area. Ours is much more heavier foam than the 2017 models were looked at. I think these are now usable and will last for several years.

Also we just took our maiden trip and everything was great, Got a chance to try everything out, and the biggest change we want to make is to remove the dining table. I just seems to be too big for a real table and since we would not expect using the dining area as additional bed I think we will opt for a smaller table.
