INFILTRATION WATER, R POD 2012 MODEL 177.
Estimate for repairs about $ 3.500. To redo the floor. And my insurance does not pay for water infiltration.
What to do ...... thank you for helping me.

Sorry to hear about that.  Is this estimation from Forest River or your dealer?  Yours may still be under warranty or FR may agree to repair it as a "goodwill" gesture.  All car manufacturers and some camper manufacturers have goodwill programs.  Someone from Canada just posted here a day or so ago with their goodwill repair by FR at the factory.  Only downside is you'll have to get your camper to their facility IF they agree to it.

Estimate my dealer who will negotiate with forest river. My r-pod is no longer the guarantee.

I would call FR directly and negotiate.  Yours is way too new to have a leak problem, especially one big enough to cause a ton of damage.  http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2747&title=misc-forest-river-contacts-and-other-info

   What is the cause of the 'iinfiltration'? That would be important to know. As a pup owner, I know many pups have a problem with being properly caulked which in many cases, is done by the dealer.  In my case, as in many others, I redid most of the caulk on my pup as I had day-one leaks and caulking looked like it had been done by a kid with no experience.
