I guess I am luckier than most, our 2011 RP-172 never went back for any repairs after we purchased it. We went to the boat/rv show in Louisville Ky a couple of weeks ago and saw a couple we really liked , but the Pod is going to stay for a while longer. No Leaks, squeeks or any other problem, ohh except I did replace the hose between the LP Gas tank and the frame as it had an internal restriction that would not let gas flow properly.

And one trip to your dealer would have fixed all of these, unless you had managed to alienate them as well.

I do hope you have better luck with your new purchase but I suspect you won't be happy with that purchase either.

I suspect I speak for many, if not most here, when I say that "I hope it works out for you and you are happy".

On a personal note, I would be interested to know what camper make and model you found to replace it, as the wife and I are in the market. Always interested in hearing other peoples observations. Pretty sure we have the Airstream sold, and we decided (for now) to keep furpod, so we are going to the RV shows now, in fact this week we start, to try to see what we want next.

The Airstream will never sell, it is bonded to the floor, it has become one with the barn.  IT LIVES!

Dear Gavin,

Hopefully you can move on and not have your life shortened due to anger, hatred, and resentment in your heart.  The glass is half-full, not half empty.  The only way to keep yourself fit is by the discipline of the disagreeable.  As we exit a 'trial' in our life we either become better or bitter.  Hopefully the former will be the case for you as another trial will certainly become reality in the future.

 I really liked the pod but the quality was lacking, if you folks would read through some of my postings about the pod, I even listed the serial number and called forest river out on it and challenged them to fix it and and it was complete silence from them! Fantastic customer service huh?
 So the new 2016 pod had these problems:

One window leak
One upper body leak
One gas leak
One bathroom faucet/ plumbing leakLOL

 Yes while under warranty, and I never took it in...why? because as rapid as these problems occurred with that lemon-pod, how many would I had after the short one year warranty was over and other problems began reaching into my pocket? The odds on that lemon going without any problems for any length of time was looking slim.

But enjoy defending a first rate-second-rate camper ...lol Forest River thrives on that mentality!
