Am curious as to what line ruptured?  What caused it to rupture?  Were you able to see where the line was compromised?  My Dometic, after 10 years, developed a small leak that caused the ammonia gas to escape, thus it had to be retired.  Am sure you had to get a new one to replace yours, as I did as well.

Glad to hear your dealer took care of everything.  If only they took care of the 'details' at the factory, none of this would have happened in the first place.

What I do not like are the little tray tables that go into the couch arms - too small and angled way down.  I'd love to find an alternative tray.

Hello, apologies for resurrecting/hijacking an older thread, but I didn't want to start a new one on the same subject.
My wife and I are looking at a new trailer, and the 202 is on the short list. I saw a couple of posters on this thread had ordered and/or received a 202 so I was wondering if they have any complaints, comments or ???? Even if we ordered one now it would be a wait for it to be built.
We have an A-Frame camper that we had to completely rebuild that we are using now, so this would be a big step up in size for us.

Thanks

Let's rule out the basics.

You were plugged into shore power, weren't you? 
The breaker was on in the power panel?
The thermostat was showing that you had power to it?

That is enough to start.

I met a guy last year pulling a rig like that. Gross weight of the entire rig (trailer plus the 1-ton pulling it) was just under 30,000 lbs. He told me he was required to get a commercial license to operate a rig that big.

Looks awesome and I have been waiting for an R-Pod with an awesome layout like this. Already ordered mine, should come in December. I think this fits a nice niche of folks that love the quality & shape of the R-Pod but want a little more room/separation between where guests/kids sleep and adults sleep. The weight is still within reason for a mid-size truck to tow as well which is awesome. 

Does anyone know if there is a main thread for this edition? 

Wondering how big of a TV can be installed in the bedroom area, anyone know?

Do they sell any custom fitted covers for it yet? If so can you direct me to who?

Thanks!

And getting back on topic, I can "visualize" the execs at FR "monetizing their assets" in the rPod brand by "building a consensus" to introduce the 202 which has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN COMMON with the original rpods besides the name.
