I purposely refrained from replying to Gavin here. After many years of participating in Fidonet, I have learned one thing: Leave the moderating to the moderators!
I used the "Report Post" option under "Post Options" instead. Thank you David for taking action. I wish Gavin had found it within himself to just let it go and go make a positive contribution in the Dutchman forums (if they exist) instead of hanging around here attacking a product which, while not perfect, is certainly of a sufficient quality that we have purchased and are enjoying them. I just finished re-caulking the kitchen window in my 2016 R179. The silicone caulking (presumably done by the dealer as I understand they just come with the rubber seal from the factory) was not done very well. I'm not going to just complain though about how bad it is. Instead, my mods will show what I did about it. |

This is probably the best way to deal with offensive posts (as mentioned above in Proverbs 26:4). Some personalities "feed" upon causing others to become upset. Please understand that, personally, I take no pleasure in "parking" someone. However, continued/ongoing toxic remarks need to be addressed in order to keep R-Pod Owners a pleasant and informative place to come. While a wide range of opinions/positions are welcome, there are minimal rules. These are a "sticky" in every topic - not a secret. Welcome and Rules As always, if anyone feels that these rules are being violated, please bring it to the attention of the admins. |

We had two issues when we bought our slightly used 2015 171. The windows were not caulked properly and we had the dealer do that. And we also had a problem with the furnace vent apparently the gasket was never applied and was never cauked. We had the dealer caulk the windows before we took it home but the furnace vent we didn't find out until we were camping and saw the leak coming from under the cabinet under the sink. We thought it was plumbing at first but took her back to the dealer and fiound out it was due to the furnace vent.part of the problem is I park it next to my workshop and the roof drains the water towards that side of the Rpod. Since we've had the gasket installed and caulked we have not had any problems

THANK YOU DAVID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I purposely stayed out of Gavin's last round of attacks on purpose as Holy Scripture points out: "A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own mind." Proverbs 18:2 "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him." Proverbs 26:4 "A fool always loses his temper, but a wise man holds it back." Proverbs 29:11 A different individual is Gavin. If I don't like something, I leave it behind and move forward . . .that is progress. To live in the past and bring up dead bones accomplishes nothing except hard feelings and animosity. |

I for one hope that Gavin doesn't move on. I find his posts entertaining :) I think it’s the blind faith in the superiority of his new RV, combined with his ranting about pod owner’s “kool-aid” drinking. He’s obviously drunk too much kool-aid himself, but he doesn’t quite realize it…. anyway, it’s funny. |

Gavin, In case you have not gotten the hint, most of the members here do not appreciate comments of this nature. They are pleased with and proud of their Pods. They allow and recognize a wide range of perspectives and opinions but, there are limits. You may feel as you will. However, this is not the right venue to practice Pod bashing or, worse, questioning the intelligence of any member(s) of this forum. Perhaps another forum, like RV net, would be a better fit for you. Good bye, Gavin. |

Had the same issue, except the hose didn't come completely off, just lose. Luckily I caught it early enough and didn't completely fill the interior of the pod with water. Something everyone should check on sooner or later, hose clamps can loosen over time and it's good maintenance to check them once a year.
