Considering an Rpod

   Hello All
I am making the transition from a Westy to a travel trailer. I have always liked the look and mystique around the Rpod, and now I want to purchase. 
I have narrowed it down to a 2018 180 or 190 Hood River edition.
When searching reviews, I was very disheartened to read some very negative ones on late models.
Needless to say this burst my bubble, and having a hard time believing it.
It was mostly about poor craftsmanship, silicone and calk everywhere, heater and AC loud to the point of almost unusable, refer beeping and not working.
Most of all they said no support from the dealers and Forest River.
I am still very interested in the rpod and jumped in this forum to get some reviews from real owners.
Any comments, experiences with late models would be very helpful.
Thanks ahead for any who take the time to answer.
