Check Your Windows!

I certainly hope it works out for them, but doubt it. The fact that he keeps coming back to check the thread and hurl insults at satisfied owners also tells us a lot. People who have had their pods 5-6 years, didn't just drink the kool-aid. But owners who refuse to have issues repaired for free, that are relatively minor, points to either buyers remorse, or psychosis. Gavin, I hope your Coachman is better then my buddies. In 4 years of ownership, his spent a year at the dealer. In the end he practically gave it away because it was such trash, and that was after Coachman replaced the complete slide once, and the second one was rotting off the trailer when he sold it. The roof leaked in 5-6 places, the doors literally quit working at one point, and one of the sidewalls didn't just delaminate, it split open. And that's just some of the issues he had. Furpod, i just wonder why he would feel the need to offer the list advice.  As poorly as he has handled this who reallly cares what he thinks.

 Keithy LOL still no problems out of it and I also have a walk in bathroom...nicer than a tiny wet bath.
 Still no leaks anywhere...windows are well caulked while its only 24 feet long, we have plenty of room and cabinet space. Everything works like it should! 40 gallons of fresh black and gray.
 I have not had the need to have any warranty work done...none, repeat, none.
 LOL it might be a box but what is aesthetics when it sells for the same price but with no leaks,  shoddy fixtures, star cracks and busted leaf springs.

  While I now pull with a diesel, I dont have to worry about going over a mountain top with an anemic gasser which will eventually tear the transmission up. 

In retrospect I would have been better off with a popup...cheaper, lighter and easier to pull with a gasser at the fraction of the cost.
 While the r-pop is eye-candy, there still remains far better deals out there for those who can emotionally detach themselves from their mistake in buying the r-pod. The same money invested in an r-pod can buy far better campers with better room .
 At the rate Forest River is going with this junky line, they will have to add flashing marquee lights and lots of chrome to lure folks in...really pimp them out on the exterior to sell them.

Hi Jato,
 Good point! So far I have taken it as much and as far as the r-pod with no issues thus far. The day it left the lot I was ahead of the game than when the rpod left the lot...Im sure some folks get a good rpod, but many dont and some within this forum will never admit that they ever had problems but would rather bark out remarks because they have to defend spending all that money on an often questionable product.

Furpod, same price and 24 foot long... but4300 lbs, you would eventually burn up that expedition transmission and probably with the r-pod too! LOL the rpod was ok in size for me but when I found out you could get far more size for the same dollar, with no leaks, then why not??? Sure Diesel is the way to go, but if you ask around while sipping the rpod koolaid you might find out that diesels are used a LOT to PULL campers, ask them if you dare and you will see most folks went from a gasser to a diesel after they overheated the transmission a few times and burned up the bands in them ( automatic) but Im sure you know all that
However I really doubt you really have a clue about much of anything, you called it a COACHMAN ,when I said it was made by DUTCHMAN....so you drinking the Flint Michigan water too? Whats next...you saw Bigfoot riding a Unicorn?
So in one post you berate it as cheap junk, yet in another post you essentially say it is far more expensive than an R-pod, so what is it? If its cheap junk but more expensive than an Rpod, where does that leave the rpod...is it a first-rate, second-rate camper?
Thank you for the lesson in Schizophrenia

 

He who can not make an argument without resorting to childish insults, betrays the fact that their thoughts are banal and perfunctory.
