Initial Quality

We found some issues with our 2015 171 also. We've only had it since 8/16 and camped in it 2 times since taking ownership.

1. Excess black caulking smeared on top of the roof between a/c and antenna. Looks like someone didn't have a rag to clean their hands with and just smeared on the roof.

2. Bathroom sink has a gap about 6" from the middle to the bottom on the right side against the wall. The screw is not screwed in all the way. 

3. Our kitchen table has a big gash on the corner and a a scratch on top as long as the table.

4. The converter panel door won't stay on because the panel was put on to close to the panel molding on the floor.

5. There is nicks on all the cabinets and when you open the frig door at the bottom there is a chunk of wood missing.

6. The screen door has a gap at the top, not sure if its bent or not lined up properly.

7. Some of the decals are lifting up at the ends.

8. The a/c filters have snags in them.

9. The tv screen has some pixels messed up to the point there is a constant green light when watching anything.

10. The Rdome has a snag in the screen and one of the window ties is sewn into a seam so that you can't tie anything with it.

But we are still very satisfied with the Pod.  I agree with everyone else that QC needs to gives these a better going over before they ship out. These little campers are not cheap and should not be put together like they are (cheap).

(note to self:  remember to turn on the TV)

Hope the OPs got their issues resolved satisfactorily.

We got a new table top, and its beautiful and perfect.

The door gap has been fixed, no more bugs should get in thank god.

The gap between the wall and bathroom sink I fixed my self, just needed a new screw and caulked but I did bring it to the dealers attention.

We got a new rdome and its awesome!!

The snag in the a/c filter isn't big enough for dometic to do anything about. Not a big deal as of yet, but believe me when it is I will be on top of it.

Now for the Icing on the cake, the tv pixel mess up. The tv has a constant green dot that no matter what you watch your eye is drawn to that. Especially when the screen is dark. The dealer got a new tv for us, but because there is only one pixel messed up they have to get approval from the manufacture which is Jensen to replace the tv. If they do it with out the approval they will be stuck with the $300 bill. Ok that's fine I understand that. What I don't understand is what's the difference, it's a defect and it's a brand new tv. If I go to best buy or some other department store and by a tv and it had the same problem, I would take it back and get a new one. Right???  Not a happy camper at the moment 

If FR would have better QC these problems would not be put on the consumer to deal with.

Don't get me wrong I'm very happy with my Pod, I just wish people would take some pride in what they build. I have always believed you treat people the way you want to be treated. That also goes for building something as if it was your own.
