Although mine is pretty snug on both sides, I do wonder how many failures does it take to initiate a recall. This problem does not appear specific to the rPod:

Spoke with my dealer about the QC issues. Bear in mind that I am still satisfied overall with the 179, and the sale. They apologized for the issue, and said that QC issues to some degrees are prevalent on most new trailers and they would be more than willing to fix anything else that I find at no charge. My dealer is only 30 minutes from my house, so it wouldn't be that terrible to take it to them if I found something else. They said they would share my findings with their Forest River Representative.

Curious, is the problem with Indiana and Oregon built or only the west coast ones?

Mine must not be a Friday or Monday pod. I checked the bolts on our 2010. Rp174 and all was well no gaps and all but two bold were tight. Just a full turn on the loose ones

How does one determine where their R-pod was made? My data tag on the side makes no claims.

I am glad my unfortunate situation brought this to light and that some of you have done some preventative maintenance.

CasaJack I was wondering how you would rate the response and service you got from Coach net?
