From time/time the manufacturer will replace an appliance or part in their camper. In the case of the r-pod Forest River upgrade the door assembly sometime in May. The latest 'batch' of r-pods, produced in late June not have a thermostat controlled AC unit as a direct result of the posts FR has seen here at rpodnation.com!
Here are photos of the new AC units and wall thermostats on the 2010 r-pods produced in June.

Wish I could get that one on my 09!!!! My 09, 11K AC does run and cool down well on one Honda EU 2000 - that should be a nice plus on my trip over the next couple of weeks!!

My 175 is a 2010 model according to the title and it doesn't have that type of control.

Terry if I am reading this right it only applies to R-pods built during the month of June and beyond. Yours was most likely built before June. David

When we ordered ours we knew improvements (and bugs worked out) were going to be made in the future units. It is something that anyone should expect regardless of what you buy. We got a great deal on ours because we bought the first models. I would do it all over again. I'll live with what we got until it's time to replace. Improvements are always good.

Is was this last late June production run that had the new AC units... glad to see Forest River make the improvement, but the prev AC was fine too, just not thermostat controlled.
