Richand Cindy, and everyone else on this thread I hope you don't mind that I have moved this discussion to the warranty section of this forum where I think it really belongs and is more appropriate. I want to apologize to the OP of this thread, John4TA I believe it is?, for taking this discussion way off on a different direction then his original questions. It's also good to know that we all can agree to disagree at times and be civil about our discussions and still be a community that respects one and the other. Thank you and again forgive me if I did get this discussion thread off course. Just ask my wife who can confirm that I've been known to get lost more then once! Confused

Dave. While it sounds as a no brainer not to turn away warranty work it is done quite often. Some dealers hourly rates are higher than what FR will pay them. So according to these dealers they lose money on warranty work. But of course they want to keep their customers happy and do the work. But for an outsider driving onto the lot and asking for warranty work there is a big risk they will be turned down and FR will say nothing to that dealer if he did not sell it. My closest RPOD dealer said he will not do any warranty work because he has too much work for his own customers so I had to look elsewhere. Also that is why many people report having to pay for warranty work. They are paying the difference between what the dealer wants to charge and what FR will reimburse the dealer. Keystone brand is worse, they pay dealers the least. Just a fact of RV life. So it is better to know in advance so one can decide if it is worth it to save money not buying locally

Maybe what we need to do is take this discussion to the warranty section of the forum? Your right Richand Cindy RV's are not cars and they don't have the same consumer protections as cars do but..... I am willing to say I would think that a RV business which has a franchise with Forest River to sell their products also has honor their, Forest River, warranty whether you buy the product from that RV business or not. Just as other have stated here and I too currently have my Pod at an independent RV shop. That is authorized to file for warranty repairs with Forest River, which is just one of the many manufacture this RV repair business files for its customers. Now whether Forest River will pay for the repair agreeing that its a defect in manufacturer or deny the claim saying it wasn't there fault is the chance you take with either an independent or dealer RV repair shop. Just as I will agree if you buy your Pod from one dealer and then take it to your "local" dealer that dealer can put you at the back of their repair line. Though I think they would have a hard time denying your warranty repair and telling you take take your camper elsewhere. Remember this like cars any RV business is make allot of money on repairs, warranty repairs or not so why would they refuse to fix your camper because you didn't buy it there? That would be a bone head move by that RV dealer telling to take your money elsewhere and possibly losing a potential client for service and future sales.... just food for thought. Smile

I purchased our first camper (a Forest River Wildcat) in 2005 from RVWholesalers. The local dealers were $7k more for the same camper. I did have a warranty issue with one of the landing gear legs - took it to a place to have it fixed (yes they gave me the same bs about not purchasing it there) - I told them I would pay out of pocket for the repair (after verifying the Lippert would reimburse me). Paid $300, problem was fixed and I eventually was reimbursed.

Only issue I ever had with that camper after 5 years of ownership.

Second camper I purchased was an Open Range - purchased it locally (local dealer was within $1000 of Kitsmiller in Michigan). Had no warranty issues within the first 2 years. After 4 years I had a slide that was not sealed correctly and had delimitation. Drove it to the factory (Open Range) and offered to pay to have it repaired. They ended up working on it for a week and replaced the slide's outer wall completely. Also did numerous fixes to correct similar issues elsewhere - they did not charge me anything .... local dealer wanted about $5K to repair it.

Another item needed repairing (awning) so I took it to an RV repair place that does not sell RVs. They fixed it and did not charge me. I paid them $100 for their work because I knew they would not get much labor reimbursement (awning motor was bad). Win-win. I decided that I would let them work on any new camper I get versus the local dealers. They work with most manufacturers.

It is a lot of money, but having had one accident where the Equal-i-zer was not adequate to stop the sway from the wind pushing us on ice, I have been looking at this design which is supposed to eliminate even the possibility of trailer-induced sway.

I am going to be in contact with a Hensley factory rep tomorrow - he mentioned this to me and I will take him up on this offer even though we have not purchased our travel trailer yet (looking either at the R-Pod 190 or the Flagstaff E-Pro E19FD - both are around 3000 lbs dry.) I am going from a 1 ton Chevy Duramax towing a 40' Open Range 5th wheel to a Toyota Highlander towing a travel trailer. Never had any towing issues with the Duramax even though the 5 slide 40' 5th wheel was at the top of its limit weight-wise (for tongue weight).

While it is true that FR will provide a list of recommended service centers, RVs are NOT cars. FR cannot force a dealer that you did not buy from to make warranty repairs. And FR says on all of their printed materials BUY LOCALLY. That is why there is such a big price difference among dealers. Even if a local dealer will accept warranty work they can put you at the bottom of the list and you can wait weeks for an appointment. If you are serious about buying far away to save money do a test. Get the names of the closer dealers/service enters and call their service departments. Tell them something is broken (water pump, water heater, battery not charging etc) and see if and when you can bring it in for warranty service. If they agree to do it, can schedule it in a reasonable time and there is no charge since it is under warranty, then you got yourself a local service center and buy the RPOD wherever you can save money (vs the travel expense)

I bought a 2010 pathfinder 4.0L 6 cyl 2 and a half yrs ago with the tow package and wiring harness. It had a 4 pin set up so I had my trailer dealer make it 7 pin...To be honest I have never seen a pathfinder without a tow package...Are you sure your 2014 pathfinder doesn't have it...I have a e2 fastway weight distribution hitch installed for around $450. I purchased an rpod 179 and love it..Good luck with your decision, welcome to the group Smile

+1 to Dave's remarks about authorized service locations. I just had a fender replaced as a courtesy warranty item. There is an authorized repairman about an hour's drive from me. This is not a dealer, but an independent repairman. He was the closest one to me.

John4TA, Drag on anytime this is what this forum is for I think? Tongue

I ran across this on Forest River site about their warranty some here might find interesting. The whole of it can be read here:

http://www.forestriverinc.com/downloads/TowableWarranty.pdf

Follow it down to near the bottom of the first page where the paragraph starts Purchasers Obligations. Which states you can contact the warrantor (Forest River) to obtain a list of authorized service location you can take your Pod into for warranty work. If this is correct which can be verified by a phone call to Forest River that would mean you might buy your Pod else where but you can get your Pod warranty service done at the dealer closer to your home. Just like you can when you buy a new car and if your local authorize Forest River dealer service department tries to jerk you around maybe another phone call to Forest River corporate legal department would be all you need to do to correct any local dealer "misconceptions"?

I'm not a lawyer but its is interesting food for thought!

As for insurance cost call your local agent and then also call someone like Geico to compare rates. I'd say somewhere around $350 to $400 a year if I had to make a guess, each State is different.

I would not suggest driving 10 hours each way to save $930. The gas cost (towing will cut your mileage in half or more)and a motel stay overnight plus meals for 2 days and then towing home for 10 straight hours for your first time on day 2 would not be fun. Think about it realistically.

Just my opinion-go with whichever the closer dealer that you feel most comfortable with. check out their service department and warranty policies -both of these will help point to the right place to buy.

good luck
Vann

I know this is dragging on. The info for me has been great being I am new to it all. We are going with the 190 and working with 3 dealers. Price difference is $930.00. Draw back is save the money and drive 10 hours one way to pick up or ..the other 2 are same price and 2 hours or 3 hours. Question is ( once again) We need all the tow gear hooked up..What should I expect on parts and labor with all talked about in this post? Would a 20 hour round trip, first outing be worth it? Have the dealer there install everything needed? Again..thank you so much for the knowledge..You all will be first to see the new setup!!

Stephen,
I'm always interested in anything that can improve our towing and your post is the first I've heard of the Hensley Cub which looks very interesting. So can you let us know what general price range Hensley is wanting for their WD anti-sway hitch?

I interpreted the tow package as that for the vehicle. I would agree that the Fastway e2 is a popular choice. I have the Equal-i-zer 4-point sway control hitch and it has served us well. Some others have used the Andersen No-Sway hitch. It has the advantage of being much lighter than either of the two above.

If you are able, probably the best hitch available is the Hensley Cub, but it is very expensive. However, I just called and found out that a special test market offer is available that reduces the price significantly. Anyone interested could call Hensley Manufacturing (800) 410-6580 for details. I am very much considering going for it, especially in view of the one accident I had when we hit ice with a strong cross-wind where the Equal-i-zer was not able to stop the wind from pushing the trailer and starting a sway condition that ended up with us facing the wrong way in the passing lane of I80 in Wyoming.

Nissan Factory tow package is the best if it is not already installed. It includes not only the hitch designed to fit the frame but the wiring harness, the 7-pin connector, and the relay to make it work properly. The harness will allow you to plug in a brake controller such as the Hopkins InSIGHT Flex-Mount proportional brake controller, which is the one I use. The Tekonsha P3 is another popular model.

IMHO if it has a V6 and 5K lbs. tow rating, it should do OK. However, this would be the least that I would feel good about recommending for an OK experience towing the Pod.

I see merit in going with something a little "beefier". If you should decide (after a time) to trade in/ go with a larger or heavier trailer, you would not have to buy a new tow vehicle, again.

Right now, I'm "rubbing my chin" about a No-Bo 19.5. Though longer & heavier than what I have.......no problem. I can tow up to nearly 10K lbs.

John, We have been campers since we got married in '76. Started with a 2-person pup tent (like sleeping in a sardine can), then moved up to a 4 person Rockwood, then as the family grew purchased a 6 person Jayco which we kept for 18 years. Kids left, just back to my Babe and I so made the decision (after seeing our first r-pod in Copper Harbor, MI 2010) to purchase a 177 back in January 2011. No regrets, we love to camp, hike, see God's creation up close and personal, and meet other people in a relaxed atmosphere. This is a great country and what better way to see it than driving down the road, visiting small towns and people along the way, and seeing all this land has to offer.

Ok, let me point out that the money won't stop there. Once you buy the pod/camper it becomes somewhat of an addiction. I can't stay away from amazon. Look at the 40,000 as a 5 - 10 year cost. I also have a frontier, and the cost of that I don't count. I have to buy a vehicle no matter what. It's actually a plus that my vehicle has some real balls and can be versatile. Many of us use the pod for different things. I not only camp with it. Sometimes i go to the casino, and I hate the hassle of getting up early, and rushing to get there before the high stakes bingo starts. I simply go the night before and camp out in the R.V. lot, wake up, go get the a.y.c.e. breakfast and casually make our way to our spot. Sometimes we go to the beach and park the pod in the parking lot, and have a home base. Even just going to visit with someone, you have your own accommodations. I have a trip to wash d.c. this summer that I probably would never have done if not for the pod. I personally hate sleeping in beds that lord knows whats gone on in it, and using public toilets. As stated only you can decide whats right for you, but you need to think of it in context.]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2018 08:43:02 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11413&PID=107555#107555 Hello all. : I love bacon http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11413&PID=107549#107549 Author: John4TA
