And in about three years (depending on the severity of the termintes) you will be the proud owner of a T (termite) Pod, which will consist of 2 wheels, an axle, and a metal frame. LOL

Had the same experience with our 2021 171. This must be why Forest River provides a built in vacuum as standard equipment. 😉 ]]> Mon, 30 Aug 2021 18:23:01 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14880&PID=144896#144896 Sawdust : I'm still finding it.

I'm still finding it.  Worst was under the shower stall found when I removed the vent and added blocking under shower floor.  Any hole in the floor has had sawdust.

Yep, sawdust coming out for quite awhile is sooo...correct.

I thoroughly vacuumed behind every panel, nook and cranny, as I had read here about it (and it is amazing indeed how much still comes out from behind the fridge!).

We just got home from a whirlwind month of traveling over 10,500 kms (about 6500 miles) with our new 192 (and love it, especially with the new memory foam mattress). I think we shook out most of what is left.

Had to see our 1 month old grand daughter, children and various friends (old and new, Boondocker Hosts are awesome!).

If you do go in and start shop vac'ing your trailer, get some spray foam for the massive holes they cut in the floor for the water lines, etc...so much cold/hot air blows in through them and it could be a highway access for various unwanted guests/critters into your trailer. It is completely unnecessary to make them as large as they do, but not surprising.

I liked the response, "Manufacturing lack of cleaning during assembly. We all have it." Yep we all do.

When I was installing a bug screen on my outside refrigerator vent, I was surprised at how much sawdust was in the back of the refrigerator.

For some strange reason, ours did not have any sawdust. Not even under the ottomans.[/QUOTE]

We were fortunate as well, maybe the dealer went the extra mile to clean it properly.  That was a long time ago . . . March 2011.

Maybe the shop vac at the Ore factory still works but the one in Indiana is broken. ]]> Wed, 18 Aug 2021 12:01:58 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14880&PID=144711#144711 Sawdust : Originally posted by StephenHManufacturing... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14880&PID=144708#144708 Author: GlueGuy

We have a new R-Pod 202.  We kept seeing sawdust all along the floor under the fuse box.  Anyone experience this issue. Thought it may be ants. However, have not seen any inside the RV. ]]> Tue, 17 Aug 2021 20:56:17 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14880&PID=144687#144687
