Sorry to hear about that. Is this estimation from Forest River or your dealer? Yours may still be under warranty or FR may agree to repair it as a "goodwill" gesture. All car manufacturers and some camper manufacturers have goodwill programs. Someone from Canada just posted here a day or so ago with their goodwill repair by FR at the factory. Only downside is you'll have to get your camper to their facility IF they agree to it.

| Estimate my dealer who will negotiate with forest river. My r-pod is no longer the guarantee. |

I would call FR directly and negotiate. Yours is way too new to have a leak problem, especially one big enough to cause a ton of damage. http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2747&title=misc-forest-river-contacts-and-other-info - http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2747&title=misc-forest-river-contacts-and-other-info

What is the cause of the 'iinfiltration'? That would be important to know. As a pup owner, I know many pups have a problem with being properly caulked which in many cases, is done by the dealer. In my case, as in many others, I redid most of the caulk on my pup as I had day-one leaks and caulking looked like it had been done by a kid with no experience. |

I can tell you that my dealer ROULOTTE CHAUDIÈRE Quebec, Canada
to work well for me, good news. Finally, Forest River (the manufacturer) will pick up my R-POP to redo the floor company in the United States toll free . Thank you for the solidarity of the group. |
