Safety Recall

Our dealer said it will take four hours and we are having it done on August 2nd. We just got a used 2011 Rpod 177 and along with the paperwork came a recall sheet. We are planning to go camping next weekend and can't get the light kit on any sooner.

Picked up our pod today with it's new fender lights and spoiler lights. Our FR dealer is about 40 miles away, a quick check shows the mileage might have improved a little bit. Handling is about the same. I look forward to our trip next month over to New Hampshire, should get a better read on the mileage.

I started this string on June 29.  Now I have the final chapter.  The company did send the parts directly to me (my dealer refuse to receive them directly).  The work was done in one day and seems well installed.  I think I have noticed a 1 mpg improvement but need a truer test on a longer haul.  I am reconciled to the fact that there is no proven fix to the design drag properties of the R-Pod, so I’ll move on and continue to thoroughly enjoy it.  I did buy a 3200/5000 watt generator for power when needed in unimproved areas.  It worked well without the AC on and would trip the 26 amp fuse when AC was turned on.  I shut off the breakers for temporarily unneeded accessories, and the generator ran the AC fine.  Minor disappointment!  

Thanks for the tip.  I'll make sure the refrigerator is on gas when I power up the generator.  I don't think the water heater in mine has a 110 option and always heats with gas.  I had the impression that the extra load that tripped the generator's breaker was the power unit/switch box that was charging the batteries.  I'll experiment because, as in your case, the generator ought to do fine under the full load.

I got my recall letter today after contacting Forest River about 4 times during ordering a part, after i talked to Susan in Northern Indiana everything was alright.
