I chose the R-Pod 180 over several other brands I looked at:
  1. Water & Holding Tanks are bigger
  2. List of options looked better
  3. I liked the Look
  4. My "Perception" was that Quality was better... However!... See following
Issues:
  1. Refrigerator LP Gas mode was broke on delivery.
  2. My Slideout Leaked.
  3. Leak on Kitchen Faucet flooded my whole cupboard.
  4. Maxx Air Fan rattle.
  5. Seals(goop) on spoiler was terrible.
Fortunately, everything was Very Professionally Repaired by my Dealer (Kroubetz of Lake Crystal, MN)... Campers are SLAPPED together! A good Dealer makes ALL the difference in the world!, choose them wisely.

Mike,
Blaine, MN

If you're in the DFW area, you can't beat May's RV in Lewisville for customer service.]]> Mon, 22 Jan 2018 17:03:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11074&PID=103854#103854 Soon to be owner of a new R-pod : Support from your local dealer... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11074&PID=103803#103803 Author: shroomer

Support from your local dealer is important. Depending on your willingness to fix things yourself or rely on the dealer can make a difference on who you decide to buy from.

Also, consider the whole package including warranties. Jayco gives a standard two year warranty. We owned an r-pod and now have a larger Jayco. Quality if about the same - midlevel - like the price.

But based on other owners' often horrific reports of their dealers, I would place dealer satisfaction fairly high on your list - unless you're a real do-it-yourselfer.

Have been looking at the 2018 Rpods,I just love them! My husband and I live in Texas and are ready for some RVing....Seems some are suggesting to go with the Hummingbird by Jayco or Forest River's Freedom Express Pilot or Coachmen Clipper. Does anyone have knowledge of these others? So glad to have found this forum. Thanks


We looked at them all and then some and when all the plus and minuses were added up the R-Pod won!

We were looking at the Hummingbird but decided on the Rpod. We felt the Rpod was better built than the Hummingbird.]]> Thu, 18 Jan 2018 19:36:08 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11074&PID=103765#103765 Soon to be owner of a new R-pod : Welcome!

Welcome!

If you get it by the middle of March, you might be interested in an R-Pod rally my wife and I are cohosting up at Eisenhower State Park at Lake Texoma the weekend of March 22-24.]]> Thu, 18 Jan 2018 14:04:37 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11074&PID=103762#103762 Soon to be owner of a new R-pod : Thanks http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11074&PID=103759#103759 Author: chattycat1
