Purchased 2012 RPod177 Hood River Edition late Jan. on first outing discovered Micro-convection didn't work,front decals began peeling and gas regulator was faulty. Other than that a pretty good trip to the coast. Still waiting for FR to send parts. Any others have troubles with new RPod?

Everybody has had some issue or other. Don't let it get you into a wad, just enjoy your new baby. Just use it and try to find everything that's wrong before the warranty runs out. Mine was in the shop more than it was out camping the first summer, and now I don't have issues unless it's my fault.
Anyway, welcome. You are going to love your Pod!!!

My fridge crapped out pretty much immediately. Had to contact a repairman (dealer too far away), for warranty work. Dometic took pretty much forever to send the repair parts - well, over a month as I recall.
As Tink says, though, this is all part of the deal with these little trailers - working the bugs out. Hang in there, we've all been through it to one degree or another. |

We have been very fortunate. Purchased our 2011 model 177 in January of 2011. Took her home in March during a snowstorm- good practice driving in the UP of Michigan. Have had zero problems with the exception - self induced- of frying the heating element in the hot water heater. Can't blame FR for my own stupidity. We have enjoyed our unit a lot, taking her from Michigan to Montana last fall as well as some local spots during the summer in northern lower Michigan as well as in the UP of Michigan - it has performed beyond our expectations. Enjoy !

Thank you all for your kind postings. I appreciate all of the feedback and look at this as part of the whole RV experience. Having moved up from backpacking and tent camping, I have a lot to learn and consider myself lucky to have a mobile roof over my head.

We have a brand new 2012 R Pod 177 and love it. We too, have just moved up from tent camping for many years.
The front decals began peeling right away. Can they be glued back on? Thanks. |
