Originally posted by GlueGuy I would not consider that an Escape issue so much as dealer issue. Keep that in mind any time in the future when you think you might take it in to the dealer for some kind of work.

I would agree with that, however Escape does not have a dealership network. You buy direct from the factory like Scamp and Casita. Plus, they are very clear that if you have any issues whatsoever, to contact a specific team for support.

We had our first warranty issue on our Escape. Our model came without a sink in the wet bath. The person who installed the shower valve set cross threaded the diverter, then, tried to remedy it by goobering liquid Teflon on the joint. Needless to say, it leaked profusely when my wife took the inaugural shower. A couple of photos and emails to Escape and they reimbursed me for a new valve set which I installed plus they threw in an Oxygenics shower head.

Time is money and I am sure the folks building these have schedules they have to keep.

12 foot awning,enclosed underbelly,power stabilizers, ducted heat and air,two 20 lb propane tanks,electric tongue jack walk on roof and my 1500 Silverado doesn’t mind.

Still love this forum and will keep lurking if you all don’t mind

every brand has issues.. it's just a fact. Hopefully you have a good dealer, because that's where any problems and issues can get "magnified" so to speak.

I am finding it isn't just RPods that have quality issues. I will need to get some warranty work done on the GW.

Over they years we've seen lots of Owners move to the Surveyor trailers and want to give and help them build just as amazing a community as has been done for R-Pods.  So for those of you Facebook users if you like please join us there if you're in a Surveyor now.

Also with the recent addition of the NOBO No Boudaries travel trailers the interest in those has taken off even moreso I dare say, that Group is growing quickly with Owners who either owned or started off looking at the R-Pods but now found the NOBO size or floorplans fit them best.  Check us out here for those Owners.

I mention these being "sister" Groups in the sense that they are linked to the R-Pod Group there on Facebook and since all 3 of these models are made by the same manufacturing plants, so whether you're going up in size, maybe a little smaller, or even looking for heading more off the beaten path you'll be in the hands of the same members of the Forest River team(s) that have helped make R-Pods the amazing trailers they've always been for us Owners over the past 10 years.

We'd love to see and hear about all of your amazing journeys and adventures in any of these trailers, and for new Owners of any of them we look forward to meeting you.

Thanks for allowing me to cross post this here.  And please remember R-Pod Owners, check out some of the Rallies going on each year from the link in my signature, or message me here, or rpod.spotter@gmail.com  There are many Rallies this year that still have spots that would love to see a new face or Owner come and join in on all the fun.
