We have a new R-Pod 202. We kept seeing sawdust all along the floor under the fuse box. Anyone experience this issue. Thought it may be ants. However, have not seen any inside the RV.

Manufacturing lack of cleaning during assembly. We all have it.

For some strange reason, ours did not have any sawdust. Not even under the ottomans.

Maybe the shop vac at the Ore factory still works but the one in Indiana is broken. |

I liked the response, "Manufacturing lack of cleaning during assembly. We all have it." Yep we all do.
When I was installing a bug screen on my outside refrigerator vent, I was surprised at how much sawdust was in the back of the refrigerator.

Yep, sawdust coming out for quite awhile is sooo...correct.
I thoroughly vacuumed behind every panel, nook and cranny, as I had read here about it (and it is amazing indeed how much still comes out from behind the fridge!). We just got home from a whirlwind month of traveling over 10,500 kms (about 6500 miles) with our new 192 (and love it, especially with the new memory foam mattress). I think we shook out most of what is left. Had to see our 1 month old grand daughter, children and various friends (old and new, Boondocker Hosts are awesome!). If you do go in and start shop vac'ing your trailer, get some spray foam for the massive holes they cut in the floor for the water lines, etc...so much cold/hot air blows in through them and it could be a highway access for various unwanted guests/critters into your trailer. It is completely unnecessary to make them as large as they do, but not surprising. Andy |

I'm still finding it. Worst was under the shower stall found when I removed the vent and added blocking under shower floor. Any hole in the floor has had sawdust.
