I have an update on my Rpod; I received an email a week ago. The floor has been replaced and they have my driver’s side sidewall taken off and are working on getting that replaced. They're planning to start on the other side last Monday. I'm not sure if they're doing anything with the axle or not.
They have a new service advisor, Hope Rowlison, 574-200-6329. She sent my some pictures; |

Hopefully it will be back on your driveway soon. Have they let you know about how long before they will have completed this job? Looks like great progress so far.

Several weeks ago they told me they were trying to get this back to me by the end of June. So I'm hopeful and anxious to camp in it again. I'll keep you all posted.
I do hope they noted my updated brackets for the black and gray discharge pipes. Their version broke within the first 2 months.

My Rpod was returned to me this week. All fixed and looking pretty good except they didn't clean up their work mess. I had many dirty finger prints from the workers all over the inside and dirt on all the horizontal surfaces. Not that big of deal, I cleaned it all in an hour. They replaced my axle, installed the outrigger brackets (only 2 on the slide out side), replaced the floor, the rear stabilizer jacks and they replaced both side walls. The floor feels much more solid. My stairs don't flex anymore, they're solid. I was surprised they didn't install the outrigger brackets on the right side of the camper. Everything looks straight, square and solid but I'll keep and eye on it. None of my modifications were an issue. I had modified the plywood under the mattress, adding a piano hinge to access the water pump and valves easier. When I lifted the mattress I found they hadn't installed any screws to reattach the plywood. This isn't an issue, I have screws I'll secure it with. They replaced the sides so they had to install the decals again but we didn't get the frog in the canoe decal. Not a big deal but I liked the Frog. Overall I'm happy with all the work and can't wait to get out and camp in it.

Congratulations on getting your R-Pod back. It would be interesting to see what the differences in construction are for the floor (if any). Perhaps it now has more cross-braces. Is the dry weight on the sticker the same as before?
