If my memory serves me right, sometimes it doesn't, I believe the warranty is transferable.  It should be in your paper work somewhere.  Otherwise, contact FR.]]> Tue, 06 Jul 2010 21:59:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10902#10902 Time for some warranty work : Update, I picked it up today and... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10803#10803 Author: techntrek

Update, I picked it up today and it looks brand new again.  They got the older style stickers.  No charge on anything but the brake adjustment - and the brakes work really well now, I had to turn my Prodigy brake controller down a few notches.]]> Fri, 25 Jun 2010 20:18:01 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10803#10803 Time for some warranty work : I'm not sure.

Techntrek, I am still looking to buy a 171 and now have a towing vehicle lined up... Question that you might know the answer to or someone else on the forum; if you buy a used R-Pod (in this case a 2010) is the warranty trasferrable?]]> Thu, 24 Jun 2010 09:27:30 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10782#10782 Time for some warranty work : Any one check in that has a cover... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10781#10781 Author: mountain mist

Any one check in that has a cover for their Pod, does that make a difference?

We have a thread around here somewhere - bottom line, many people have found the decals just suddenly start peeling off.  These are the decals on the rounded surfaces.  I think it had to do with the cold.  We hadn't cleaned our 'pod yet, no scrubbing, no power washing so that wasn't the cause.  It didn't start until mid-winter.  So far FR has replaced them for everyone that has had a problem.]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 19:07:41 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10780#10780 Time for some warranty work : When you say your decals are peeling... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10779#10779 Author: mountain mist

When you say your decals are peeling (mine is so new that it has not been out on first trip)do you mean when you take it to your dealer that they replace them? Our dealer can't swing a cat without hitting someone needing help. Good to see some of the RV dealers on a come back. ]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 18:07:01 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10779#10779 Time for some warranty work : I remember you said you saw the... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10772#10772 Author: techntrek

I remember you said you saw the Girl Scout magnet on the back of our van.  So close yet so far that day!  We'll probably get there around 3 on Friday, I'm taking off a few hours early and hope to leave our house by 1:30.]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 11:13:22 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10772#10772 Time for some warranty work : When are you picking it up at... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10756#10756 Author: rpodcamper.com

When are you picking it up at Stoltzfus?  I work less that 1/2 hour from them and live about 1/2 hour from them.  They have been my dealer for 3 campers now.  The weird thing was the Saturday you were dealing with Wayne I was there picking up my unit from the service department.]]> Tue, 22 Jun 2010 15:29:03 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10756#10756 Time for some warranty work : Half way there, its been in the... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=10748#10748 Author: techntrek

Half way there, its been in the shop for 2 1/2 weeks and they finished up on Saturday.  Added "check tail lights" to the warranty work since there was water in the left light.  Also had them adjust the breaks, now that the pads are broken in I was getting some pull to one side when I braked hard.  I can do that job at home but since it was already there and we are picking it up on the way to another weekend of camping it was just best to pay them this time.
 
All warranty work was approved.  I asked last week if they could get the old-style R-pod decal on the front and back.  The new ones have the recycle logo and "eco-constructed" underneath.  I'm an eco-freak but I didn't like the look of the new stickers.  They said they should be able to get the old style.  I asked them to call if they couldn't, and probably wouldn't have them put it on, just the colored circles.  BUT I forgot to ask when I talked to them yesterday if they got the old style since they didn't call.  If its the new style, too late now I guess.  I'll be happy to get it back in my driveway after this weekend's trip.

You drop them right in their parking lot.  Mine heads over after this weekend for peeling stickers and state inspection.  Call now and get it on the books for them.  ]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:37:06 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=9847#9847 Time for some warranty work : Ours is in the shop right now... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=9846#9846 Author: HuronSailor

Ours is in the shop right now for a leaking back window, and a table that's delaminating in one corner. ]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:35:28 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=9846#9846 Time for some warranty work : Time to make an appointment.

Time to make an appointment.  My dealership is 1 1/2 hours from my house so it isn't easy to swing by.  However, we are now scheduled to drive fairly close for 2 camping trips in June, 3 weeks apart.  I'm hoping I can drop my camper off outside their gate on Sunday after the first one and then pick it up on my way to the 2nd trip.

So here's my list, anyone else have some warranty work coming up?
 
- outer seal around one window appears to have shrunk last fall, I fixed it but it may need to be replaced
- the common propane regulator or backflow valve "ping" under heavy useage
- the common "peeling stickers" problem on all the curved surfaces, our pod looks like crap right now
- replace edge trim on table, it was damaged when we took delivery
- factory recall for proper sealing of the four corners underneath
