My 19/189 was rolled off the line middle of May. Wondering if there is a way to identify Azdel visually? ]]> Wed, 25 Jul 2018 15:37:00 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11931&PID=112847#112847 R-Pods now made with Azdel? : I got another response from... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11931&PID=112816#112816 Author: GlueGuy

I got another response from a different person (Danielle Beber) at FR this morning. I'm speculating that they started switching to Azdel in May, and completed the transition by July. Could be the first guy had incomplete or wrong info too. At any rate, any new R-pod will have Azdel now. If I were a betting person, I might bet that new R-pods with Azdel might have a decal declaring the same.

Good Morning Bill,
I do apologize for the delay in response to you, I just had to make sure I gave you the correct information.

We started running all of the Surveyor, R-Pod, and No-Boundaries lines with the Azdel paneling May 2018. Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else.

Thank you-

I got a response from Robert Drake at FR, and he said:

Good afternoon. We have just now started to use Azdel on this production run of the R Pods, so anything you see with the manufacture date of July 2018 and after will be built this way.

I did not notice the reference to Azdel until this year. I sent an inquiry to FR to about when they switched from luan. I did some googling around, and some people were purchasing Winnebago R-pod clones purely on this one item.]]> Sat, 21 Jul 2018 13:05:40 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11931&PID=112704#112704 R-Pods now made with Azdel? : Nor does my 2016 model.

SH - I saw an article on Coachman using ADZEL as early as 2006. I had a 2004 that did suffer lamination and did not use ADZEL. I did see it advertised the FR uses Adzel but could not find any reference to R-Pods and when/if they had transitioned. My 2015 does not.]]> Sat, 21 Jul 2018 07:06:48 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11931&PID=112697#112697 R-Pods now made with Azdel? : I wanted to look at a floor plan... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11931&PID=112687#112687 Author: StephenH

I wanted to look at a floor plan prior to answering a question in a topic and came across information on the R-Pod's web site that included a logo, "AZDEL Onboard."It was right above the videos for the R-Pod Advantage.In addition, the logo links to an Azdel Towables flyer that lists has R-Pod in addition to Surveyor and NoBo models as those using AZDEL in their construction.

When did Forest River change to using Azdel for the R-Pods? I think this is a great move as it should eliminate some of the problems associated with using the Lauan plywood since it does not absorb moisture like the wood does. I think it will make delamination of the side walls a thing of the past.
