We bought our 2016 R-pod 175t on July 19, 2015. We pointed out to the salesperson that the cushion that goes into the tent part was ripped at the seams on one side. They are going to make it good. But we have only camped twice and the cushion looks like we went dumpster diving for it. It is separating and fraying at every possible place. This is totally uncalled for. I worked for 16 years in a plant in North Carolina that made upholstery for RV's and home furniture.  I know we sold fabric from $23.00 a yard to about $2.15 yard. The fabric on this is in worse shape than any material I ever bought in the seconds section of the plant. I think it is a shame that the seams are wearing out like this. We have only used the bunks for storage and I noticed the top bunk fabric was looking bad. I am very unhappy with the shoddy construction of the Rpod. Oh how I wished we had never bought it. 


I would suggest that you make your dealer aware of your concern.  If they don't take care of it contact Forest River.  They can make it right.  We can't.
