New RPOD-196 Owner

We bought our brand new RPOD-196 home in June 2021. We like it a lot. We have a 2019 Colorado that tows it fine down the highway. We've had it out on a trip to Florida and back. Sure we're having some issues and I would fix them myself but it is under warranty after all. First day home the top trim fell off the slide out over the couch. Gorilla double sided tape fixed that. Stupid brad nails and staples anyway. Since we had another RV years ago we were familiar with what to expect about materials and workmanship, no surprises here. We wish the couch was a recliner but some nice fat cylindrical pillows and a foot rest work great. The black tank flush system does not work, I understand the backflow preventer may be in backwards. The rear window leaks in heavy rain, the fittings under the bathroom sink leak and damaged some particle board in the cabinet. Being a cabinet maker I may fix that myself with better wood. All in all we are pleased and looking forward to our trip to the Grand Canyon. They do require maintenance and tinkering, it comes with the territory. Riding down the road can be very hard on them. We have a good dealer so fingers crossed and once out of warranty I'll be free to do as I please.

I haven't gotten to test how my 2021 196 does with rain because the only time I had it out, it didn't rain.

Our 2021 196 had a bad seal at the hood vent, a bad seal at the front (curved) window, and a variety of roof seals where the work was sub-par. We discovered all of these when we went camping far from our desert home - and have addressed them (we think! )...
