 Picked up the 2015 RPOD 179 last month and can not wait till all the snow to melt and start our first trip in May. Delivery walk thru was a joke. The walk thru was done in an un-heated space. We were not aware of that, so we were not dressed for the weather. RPOD was winterized, so they did not show us much, other than explaining what the buttons does, where the important items are etc... We did see the slide opened, TV on and furnace running. Overall, the walk thru took about 30 to 45 minutes, but we were there for about 3.5 hours. Mostly waiting. Waited to see the business office to pay, and waiting for the equalizer hitch (4 point sway control) to be installed after the walk thru. While taking the picture the other day, I noticed the hitch was not install properly. location of bracket to ball was supposed to be 27-32", actual installation had one at 32" and the other at 34". I guess if I want something done right, I'll have to do this myself. no big deal, i'll redo this when all the snow melt. We'll start with a mostly weekend trips, and longer trips later in the year. Hopefully we'll see other RPod owners along the way  ------------- 2015 RPOD 179. |

Welcome. Yup, the best way to do it is to do it yourself, as fellow member Marwayne has in his signature. I discovered the camper we bought in September has its WDH installed incorrectly. One bracket is a 1/2 inch off which will require removal, redrilling and remounting. Yay. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Welcome from Ottawa!
Snow is melting slowly but not today ... below freezing temperatures and snow drifts. Time to delay taking off the snow tires. Spotted that you were from Edmonton in your footer. You will probably have noticed by now that most of us actually put our hometown on the left side under "location". <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< That's why you got the friendly question above
Happy R-Podding! David ------------- David & Liz 2014 R-Pod 178 2019 Chevy Traverse And Lily (our 8 yr old Golden)
