One Month In

Op,
You got a lemon too but remember a clunker is a clunker no matter how crappy the factory can churn them out, but you appear to be logical, you can see past the love affair of rpods here and see the junk which forest river passed off on you.
Don't expect some clowns around here to say they took a beating on their rpods too.... Its kinda like dealing with folks who are in too deep and revert to denial.

Yup, most here just haven't had a long list of issues, especially 2009-2014.

I don't see much of a lemon in the OP's complaints. Maybe the piece of wood under the refrigerator (but I'm not sure what that's about.  Sounds like something under there that needs to be moved or removed.)  All of the other complaints are pretty much dealer issues that have nothing to do with the R-Pod, although they don't help its reputation, or they are cosmetic.  The sewer hose is a dealer issue.  If the dealer were smart, he'd supply a decent hose, but he gives you something that will work, maybe, until you can get to Walmart and get a real one.  Does that make the Pod a lemon?

The TV bracket may or may not be the dealer, I don't know, but it's something you see during your walk through and regardless of whether it does what you want it's probably not going to be a make or break issue in your decision to buy the Pod.  If you don't like it, replace it with something you do like.  Again, not a "lemon" factor.

The mattress and cushions could certainly be better.  I don't know about cushions sliding around.  Mine don't do that.  We got a memory foam topper for our mattresses and could hardly be happier.  Neither of these are lemon issues, in my opinion.

The bathroom sink was, best I can tell, (I don't have one), not a great idea in concept or reality.  Again, though, it is what it is and unless it's hanging down held only by a PEX tube or two, it's not a lemon issue.

The air conditioners is loud.  So is the furnace.  Sounds like the OP hasn't tried that yet...  I would think Forest River could have come up with better choices or better engineering for those, but if they work, they aren't lemon issues.

Lemon issues, to me, are leaky windows, a bad hitch, stabilizers that fall off due to bad welds, hot water plumbed to the cold water faucet, light switches that don't work, etc.  Bad parts or bad workmanship.  I didn't see any of those kind of things in the OP's list (except maybe the wood under the sink.)

I forget what else the OP complained about....  He has a right to be unhappy, and as others have suggested, he's probably right to sell. I suspect he'll lose money, which is a shame.  I'll bet a person could spend 3 times as much for a small, light camper trailer and still find as many things to complain about.
