Had a clicking noice from the fan in AC. Removed cover this morning on the inside of trailer and did not see anything that could be making noise. So I got a ladder and removed the cover on the roof. I found a bolt that was very loose about ready to fall out. It was one of the bolts for the fan motor bracket. It was allowing the the blade two tilt and hit the surounding plastic cover. I tightenen it and everything is working good now. It looked like it was missed from being tightened when assembled from factory.

That stuff happens. The person doing the work probably stopped for lunch or a break and forgot about it. Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |

| The technician who walked me through my r-pod when I originally picked it up mentioned that I should keep an eye on the a/c bolts for the first few trips. He said it was fairly common for them to work their way loose. |

I would go out and test mine, but the thermostat doesn't go down to the 20's... ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
