 Calendar Event: delaminationPosted: 14 Jun 2021 at 2:01pm |

What was the outcome of this? Our Rpod is delaming. We pulled the window above the area and no sign of water damage. FR pretty much threw their hands up at us.

Don't believe it. Many here know people at the factory and have seen them go FAR above and beyond to help owners. Sometimes it takes time. Sometimes it needs documentation. Sometimes it's actually a dealer issue. |

I don't want to believe it but I cannot help but think because the R-Pod is not a huge 5th wheel with 3 slideouts and could cost $80,000; we get the "commoner" treatment. Persistence will prevail. Good luck!

If no one from FR calls you back within a couple days, I would call them again. Somewhere I have read a thread that gives the direct number and person to speak to about matters such as this. Regardless, either on their website or by calling direct I am sure the operator who answers, or the recorded message, will direct you to the proper person to get the ball rolling on this.

Time to contact FR directly and go past your dealer. This is unacceptable. Under these circumstances if they can't make it right in short order, they should replace it with another 2016, same model. They ought to have a warranty to protect you against things such as this. When we purchased our 2011 model 177 back in March of 2011 we got a 1 year warranty that covered things such as this.

Hello we recently purchased a 2016 rpod in june 2016.We love our rpod. We have only been able to go out in it a couple of times so far. We noticed a few issues and the dealership is good about correcting them although it takes forever to get an appointment as they are very busy. We are in B.C. Canada. We looked at r pods for about five years before finally deciding to purchase one. Recently we had our r pod in for service work a cupboard door needed replacing and we had a few other small issues for the dealership to sort out.
Friday we get a call from the dealership letting us know that our trailer is ready for pickup. So we let them know we will come in on Saturday. Saturday afternoon we pick up our trailer drive away when we stopped we noticed a large area of delamination on the right side. As we are already unhitched. We go into let the dealership know this has occured. We tell the manager and he takes our name and number. We ask him how they will repair it he said they can inject some glue into it to make it go back down. My question is this does not seem like an appropriate repair for a brand new r pod. Very concerned as this was a major purchase. We want it fixed properly not a band aide on a brand new r pod.
