last year i experienced some water under the bed and under the table (not alot but still water).  this was after driving in a 3 hour monsoon.  nothing else was wet or even the slightest bit damp (ie: walls, windows, cushions, etc).  i have driven threw many other rains (though not quite like this) and have seen no water.  i have washed my pod alot with some pretty heavy spray, no water.  i can only assume it came from underneath, but can't find an obvious breach (though water doesn't need much).  hogone

We get leaks between the panes too when driving in heavy rain, so we just roll up some paper towel and stuff it there to help with the spray that gets forced in.

We also had the rear window problem as ours was one of the first models off the line but FR recalled and replaced the windows from that generation.  Some early 2010 models were also built with the faulty back window.  If you can somehow find out if your back window has been replaced or not, FR has in the past provided the replacement window to the dealer of your choice for free. However FR does not cover the labor cost for actual replacement unless you're the original owner.

We are currently dealing with dewinterizing (finally!) and finding a mysterious leak/condensation from somewhere behind the fridge.

We are in our fourth season and have towed and camped in all kinds of weather with no sign of leaks or "poor workmanship."  Sorry if you got a bad one.  It is not part of the makeup of the breed.
