I was seriously considering purchasing a r-pod, & almost ordered one, until I went to a RV show this last weekend, & looked at several models. I was very surprised at the lack of pride in craftsmanship! It was non-existent! The brochure states that the walls & floor are "welded aluminum". They are actually plywood covered with a thin layer of fiberglass. The brochure also states that the cabinets fronts are solid wood, & assembled with screws. I only saw particle board, & staples! The drawer fronts may have been solid, but not the cab front panels. The only screws I saw were a couple that held the cabs to the floor. Otherwise hundreds of staples.  The "queen bed" was a flimsy mattress laying on a 1/4" sheet of luan plywood, supported by a stapled together 1&1/2" frame. This was the most flimsy construction I have ever seen in a trailer! It was obviously meant for one trip only! I asked the salesman about it, & his reply was, "You get used to carrying tools & glue to make frequent repairs"! Just what I want to do after driving hundreds of miles or so, & have to put the interior back together before being able to use it!! I think duct tape would be needed also! NOT BUYING IT!!!

Quality and pride in craftmanship could be improved throughout the RV industry. Good luck finding the quality you're looking for at a reasonable price.
 
There are probably a hundred or so happy Rpod owners here who feel, for the most part, we got good value for our money.
 
Take care,
Steve

In April of 2010 we took delivery of a 2010 R-pod 171. The first thing we changed was the mattress, I agree it was not worth having. We made a lot of small mods to suit our style of camping but never run across anything that came apart.
 
In early Summer we towed that trailer up to the Yukon and back and later in the fall we went right across Canada to P.E.I. and back. Total distance towed was just over 20 000 km.
 
On neither of the two trips did I have to screw, glue or otherwise fix anything. Is the trailer perfect? No, far from it but neither was any other trailer that we ever had during the last 40 years.
 
We traded the 171 for a larger unit but that is another story all together.
 
So, unless the 2011 models are built different the dealer must have had an exceptional bad unit on the show and that does not speak well for the dealer.
 
If you like the R-Pod I would suggest that you look at another unit before giving up on it.
 
Take care,

Oh I am sorry to hear that you found the product to be insufficient. I too am in the market and am searching high and low for something that will be "just right" for me.
 
At the show did you have a chance to view a Flagstaff Micro Lite 18RK XLT or a Rockwood Mini Lite ETC 184. They have similar tow weights to the r pods, a unique body style and those models have a queen bed and sofa slide out similar to an RPod 175.
 
Those 2 companies are also Forest River companies, and a higher price point, but perhaps their quality would be more to your taste.
 
Goodluck,
IMO you did find something worth keeping from Rpod...this Forum and its members.

@saxack
I am surprised that you are looking for such quality in the price range of the RPod.  We did not expect to see the quality you are describing.  After traveling almost 4000 miles in our 2010 last spring and summer, my biggest complaint was the mattresses in our bunk beds.  They were horrible and we replaced them with foam topped with memory foam.  I,also, found that I was constantly sweeping up sawdust.
We went to an RV show and found that the mattresses in a very expensive fifth wheel were no better than ours.  I could feel the springs in the mattress when I sat on it.
Knowing that my Pod is not made with the highest quality material, I take great care when opening drawers and doors. Wink

You usually get what you pay for and I for one think that I got a good deal.  No saw dust, nothing broken, and I haven't even changed out my mattress (yet).
Maybe there is something out there in the same size and price range that is better, haven't seen it myself.  Keep us posted if you find it.

I try not to be a negative person, but why would anybody get on a website and blast a product that the entire website owns?  Was the purpose to all make us feel like fools?  I am assuming this guy either has an alternative product he wants people to buy or just wants to be hurtful.  Ridiculous!

I think the interior of the rPod could be better constructed too, but not for what you pay for it. It's adequate for the job it's expected to do.
 
Some of the mattresses are junk, also agreed. I replaced the ones in our 172 bunks almost immediately. But the last RV show I went to it seemed like all the manufacturers were using batting instead of foam in at least some of the beds. It looks to me like the beds that they expect the kiddies to use are batting, the adults beds are foam.
 
Hope you find what you're looking for.

We've had a lot of new members since this was originally posted. If you want to see how the r-pods are constructed, Sandpiper's report is the next best thing to going to the factory yourself.
http://www.rpodnation.com/r-pod-plant-tour_topic1313.html - http://www.rpodnation.com/r-pod-plant-tour_topic1313.html
 
From what the original poster said it sounds like they translated "aluminum frame" to thinking the whole outside would be aluminum.
 
As far as what the saleman said about carrying a tool box with you: I think anyone that would travel without some sort of tools would be crazy. There are always little things that need to be fixed around the house and also around an RV. It also sounds as if the salesperson was bum rapping the r-pod in order to make a larger sale.
 
We have not been disappointed in the quality of the r-pod. And we have had occasion to request help from Forest River. (Not their problem - user stupidity.) They were absolutely awesome about expediting an order to get us back on the road as soon as possible. I have nothing but good things to say about them.
 
We have traveled over 12,000 miles in our r-pod and have had no failures of any type.

Whatever saxack opinion or agenda is, it just that.  I would guess the majority of us are happy with the quality we received for the price we paid.  I personally have not had any problems or issues with our 176, with the obvious exception of the "mattress".  So what do we do?  We let saxack have his/her opinion and we continue to enjoy and pass along our opinions of our great little R-Pods.

Happy Podding

Exactly.  I know for the price, you're going to get what you pay for.  Is it going to have a Tempupedic mattress, a luxurious bath with stone vanity tops, and granite countertops with a deep freeze?  I'm glad that I'm not sleeping in a tiny tent cot, and I'm especially glad that I have something that I will be able to take with us whenever the desire arises and to see family and friends along with adventures that will be special for Louis, the two cats, and I.  

Trailers are meant to be lightweight, and sometimes that means that the construction may be what it is.  However, this trailer has features in it that are much more advanced than the trailer I had growing up, and it will be what it will be.  Plus, I know that we can change things over time to make it more ours.

Life is truly good.  Wink

We had problems initially but our Rpod 171 holds up really well and we have taken a few over 30 day trips.  We now travel with friends who have a 37 ft. diesel coach.  They've had two similar units since we've known them with the last costing almost $450,000, with washer & dryer sleep number bed, tile floors and marble counter tops, etc.  Our friends experience with shakedown problems has lead me to believe that almost all RVs are going to have problems.
 
One reason we may not want to trade up (we love the rpod with our same floor plan but having a slide-out), is having to "break-in" an new unit.  I feel we've gotten the bugs worked out and we're comfortable with our unit.

I have an early 2010 Model 172, Made and Purchased in July 2009.  Forest River made several improvements of the next several production cycles based on this forums comments (i.e. front stablizers, larger Televisons), if the didn't have PRIDE in their product they would have just kept going what they were doing.  This will be my THIRD camping year (I camp pretty much all year).
 
If you would like heavier wood, granite counters and pillow top mattress' you may want to look into Airstream (more weight and higher price), but then I think you might have to trade your Jeep for a bigger TV or you could just stay home. 
 
Why come on to an owners forum and knock our choices, is that California logic?Confused

Let's don't call it California logic as there are many smart and logical people from California.  I don't know what this person's motives are, but I do know that I'm happy with what we bought and intend to use ¡Podtástic! for many years.  We even got the personalized license plate on order.  

One of the things that drew me to the R-Pod were forums such as this.  It was active with many people sharing their experiences that you can tell that they loved their Pods.  Louis thought that it was a little fanatical until we bought it and now he wants to visit it in storage whenever we can.  I find that there is something about the trailer that draws people to it, and it drew us to it at the Chicago RV show.  No matter what it is that we looked at it that was at the same price and weight point, we didn't like as well as ¡Podtástic!.

We took delivery of our 2010 model 172 in July of 2009.  We have used it for two seasons and have had very few problems.  Yes, I needed to sweep out some sawdust and purchase a better mattress, but what I have gained in family memories goes so far beyond whether the cabinets are hardwood or cardboard really doesn't matter.

Believe it or not, I'm going to miss my TentCot. But, I'm not going to miss having to confine myself to the tentcot or SUV when the rain comes down hard. That's just one of the reasons that I'm upgrading to an RPod. I've camped almost 2 years in the TentCot, I know now that camping is something I enjoy doing (it started out as a try it and see thing). So, I'm going for comfort, features and price and getting an RPod. I had originally looked at CampInn teardrops and liked the idea, but again, it's small and costs as much as a RPod with half the features.

(tpierce, not picking on you, just that line from your post caught my eye)

Czardastx, no offense taken.  Smile

It's not that I disliked the cot tent and would have kept it if it weren't for the cats.  Somehow having two people and two cats (never mind the litter box) inside it.  The smell alone from that litter box would kill us.  Clown

Sadly, you're not far off the truth from what I've seen with my R-Pod.  Terrible craftsman ship, actually the worse I've ever seen and I've owned several different TT's over the years.  Mine was so poorly assembled, I had to have all my windows replaced due to the installer over torqing each side of the windows.  They "sandwiched" together and crushed the tracks of all the windows.  The windows and screens could not be moved.  They were all replaced.  Shame on me for not discovering the issue prior to taking delivery.  Nonetheless, no excuse for the installation.  If you take a look under the one bench on my R-Pod (the side you're not supposed to use for storage), you see a mess of wires, twisted and tangled on each other, sawdust all over the place, pieces of wood drill/plug holes littered about.  Under the sink, it's similar.  There really no excuse for such a terrible installation of a trailer.
 
I'd never consider another R-Pod.

Never had a problem with my 171 rpod since I bought it in spring 2009.
 
In fact, I recently left northern Ontario in -37C weather....and in this cold I thought the rpod would be in bad shape after over 1 000 miles in sub 0 temp....not so....it's extremely well constructed and is performing without fault.

Our first exposure to RV's, our first chance to step inside and look firsthand was at an RV show last spring and it seemed to us the R-Pod was better built, felt more solid and substantial than anything else we looked at (we only looked at similar small RV's).  Now after 7 mos. ownership and approximately 21 nights camped, I haven't had to repair anything and nothing has come apart.  Have made some small convenience mods, but up to this point overall quality has lived up to/surpassed our expectations. Thumbs Up

I don't believe the mattress that comes with the Rpod is intended for use. It's just there to show you where the real mattress goes once you buy one <LOL>.

After spending over 30 years tenting mostly in nylon tents, a few in tent trailers, I am really looking forward to using R RPod. When we had our tent trainer last year the hinge on the sink/counter pulled loose on our first trip. Our dealer fixed it when we got back. On our second trip, which was only 45 min away, it started again to pull free. I ended up buying a plastic container to place under it when we were traveling to stop it bouncing inside. It wasn't a forest river trailer. I think unless your going to buy a RV built like a house that needs a semi to haul it, weight concerns determin construction with cost also a factor.

If you don't want to do repairs, buy a nylon tent, their roomy nowdays and you can get a new one every few years.

As to workmanship, I work in a factory, at work I've noticed 2/3 of our people have under 15 years experience. Of the 1/3 with 15 years + 1/2 has left for other jobs, some have taken management jobs, and some are on long time disability. So that leaves about 20 people out of 400 people with 15 years or more. The number with 5 years or less is about 300. Of that 300, well about 100 started in 2009/2011 Most of our staff is under 25. IMHO most of these "kids" would have been fired in their first week 25 years ago. I'm sure the RV industry has the same or similar problems.

Well, I've only put a 1000 miles on my 2011 r-pod 172.  Nothing has fallen apart yet ... well the facing of the refrigerator came unglued, but that's not made by Forest River - Dometic, I think is the manufacturer.  Compared to the Scamp, it's a good model.  I guess the person who posted this could buy an Airstream; but, they're going to pay a lot more, and I've heard complaints about those also.

The queen-size bed that is made up from the table is awful without a mattress over it, but I don't plan to use it.  I found the bunk bed mattresses to be adequate.

I believe someone posted pictures taken inside the factory, showing the R-Pod construction.  Yes, they are built from aluminum frame, foam, and plywood - this accounts for their relatively light weight and insulating qualities.  In a Scamp or Casita, you will get rat fur insulation inside a plastic molded body.  All three will shatter if hit by an errant pickup, but hopefully that's what insurance for.

Just to add to my other post..... Looking at the RV's at a RV show in town from 4 dealers nearby, I think the RPod meets up with larger and bigger priced units. Forest River did a good job IMO!

Having recently sold our 42 year old Airstream and bought a 2011 173 I do have to agree that the R Pod construction is not as good as the Airstream. Of course a comparable Airstream would have cost me upwards of $50,000.00 and the layout is one size fits all in the Airstream. If one takes proper care the R Pod will last quite some time and is well thought out. Yes there are tradeoffs, but we researched quite thoroughly and bought with our eyes open and are happy with the choice.

The biggest trade off in construction is in trying to keep a trailer of that size with a low enough weight that it can be towed easily with mid-sized TVs. I put a couple of dozen very happy trips on my R-Pod and couldn't be happier. Would I have liked an Airstream? Yep, but I didn't want the cost of a new TV and the extreme cost of the Airstream.

We had a great time with our Pod, never had a problem and made some really great friends in the process. And even if you find something else that meets your needs, you will always be welcome at one of our roundups. After all, our new 27' Zinger now serves as the buffet central at our roundups. I've stayed with the group because of the great people on this forum.

I'd never consider another R-Pod.
 I guess my question for this_is_nascar is, if you dislike the R-Pod so much why do you still bother with the forum?

Just curious

 
Because I still own and use the unit, but thanks for asking.

Just went to an RV show yesterday, and saw similar craftsmanship issues in all the units: cabinet drawers stapled together, polyester batting used for mattresses in some cases, sloppy routing and bundling of wires and hoses, sawdust and construction debris. A few of the units had some pretty sloppy workmanship right out there in plain sight: chipped counters, crooked trim, exposed raw plywood edges, terrible upholstery workmanship. One RV had an entertainment unit that could be rotated to show either a flat screen TV or an electric fireplace. Although it was a great idea it was very poorly executed; the opening was not square and the unit rotated very roughly, grinding as it moved. A sloppily drilled hole with a drop pin locked it in place. A little crude, I thought.
 
Some of the units had wood 2 x 2 sidewalls rather than the welded aluminum frames our pods have - yack! Heavy, lots of potential for trouble - not good. Lots of plastic bananas, rubber grapes, and yard sale books for props. Okay, that last one doesn't really matter, it just had to be said.
 
If you didn't look too closely though, they all seemed pretty nice: leather recliners, bay windows, fake slate floors, outdoor kitchens, big BIG TVs (all tuned to the basketball playoffs), real mattresses in the master BRs, showers with doors.
 
Fleetwood, Forest River, Coachman, Palomino, and Winnebago were there, among others. No Airstreams or Freightliners, though. No rPods, either, except for a used one for sale on one of the easel boards.
 
I'd have serious doubts about a lot of these RVs if I was a full timer and moved a lot. I bet some of them wouldn't hold together as long as the term of their loans. All of them would probably be great if you picked a spot and stayed put.
 
That's my report. Back to the forum.

Well, my wife and I went to an RV expo at the Tacoma Dome yesterday. We looked closely at lots of trailers, and our  2010 RP 175 seemed to compare solidly with most mid priced trailers. We were very interested in looking at a Platimum Package MPG 184 which is very similar to, but very slightly larger than the RP 175. It did have some nice features that would be nice to have on our Pods, but the fit, finish, and over all look of quality, at least to us, didn't come close to our RP 175. We're happy with the decision we made, especially since the MPG line was available in our area just after we bought our Pod. We've made enough mistakes in our lifetimes and were glad this purchase wasn't one of them!

We took our 2010 175 to Wyoming last summer. The only issue we had was finding lots of loose screws on the floor from the heater cover and various other things. Other than that we have enjoyed it alot.  It was the weight and size we wanted and in the price range we wanted to spend so have been happy with it so far.

Any chance it could be some type of wood-eating or wood-boring insects? (Not that there's much in the rpod that could actually be called "wood" <LOL>.)

Have you looked under the dinette seat on the left side where the furnace is? I was getting sawdust on the floor in front of the fridge after every road trip too. 
 
Found lots of sawdust under there when I was doing a mod. Also behind the breaker box. Vacuumed it all up and problem solved.

Having never owned a travel trailer before, I am ecstatic with my decision in purchasing my 2010
R Pod 175 almost  a year and a half ago. I will say I did not do a lot of research, except going to the dealership with the knowledge that I could only get a pop-up trailer because of my towing issue. I can recall only finding out about the R Pod through the internet, just breezing through the literature briefly.
 
The day I decided to buy a trailer, as soon as I pulled into the parking lot I noticed the Pod sitting there, waiting. Needless to say the first thing I did was ask how much its towing weight was. Not interested with other models because this had everything I wanted and MORE...., later that week I went to "closing." I brought it home, happy.
 
I guess after this long drawn out story, what I am trying to say is not having the least bit of knowledge of other manufacturers I am pleased with everything, from top to bottom. Nothing to complain about, except maybe what I, as the owner, put the poor trailer through. In return I have spent many great nights with my 3 dogs and to awake to the sun rising, birds chirping, turkeys gobbling and the great memories it brings a new to me.

I too am sorry to hear that you found a poorly constructed unit. I just purchased the RP172 from CouchsRVNation.com and it came in Saturday, after a 1000+ mile trip from Ohio to Texas and everything in perfect shape. This unit is by far the best I have ever owned. I have owned a late '70's Rockwood, a 1986 Coleman Pop-up, a 1990 Coleman Pop-Up and a 1987 Toyota Grandville Motor-home. Coleman's and Rockwood couldn't hold a candle to the R-Pod. The Toyota Grandville's construction was nearly as good as the R-Pod. My brother-in-law has owned Layton's & Coachmen 5th wheelers, and a Coachman motor home. I can't say the construction of those units was vastly superior either. I and my brother-in-law have always had to do repairs on campers either during or after every trip. So I will let you know in a few weeks how this one goes. Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

I want to believe in American Craftsmanship, but our R-Pod (176, March 2011) leaves much to be desired.  As delivered, the kitchen window does not open.  The springs on the fittings that hold the outside storage doors open have broken (just poor quality hardware). The cabinet handles were not installed straight. The black water drain cap broke (again poor quality hardware).  Access panel to the water heater is just hack-sawed out.  No effort has been made to even sand the edges, hence it is a real splinter maker (palm and two fingers so far)....I finally lined it with laminate tape that looks like wood ($2 a roll at the hardware store, and I used about 3 feet of the 20 foot roll).
Table edges are de-laminating. 

Design issues:  (really do the people who design these units ever use them?).  The storage unit under the eating area is difficult to use.  If they had lined the opening up with the cushions, then you would only have to remove a single cushion to use the space.  As it is, you have to remove two base cushions, and two back cushions to get to the space.  Given the limited interior space, this make the storage space all but functionless (we only use it for items that we seldom need). The interior could have been made much brighter if a rectangular 4x1.5 foot frosted glass window had been installed in the door (standard fittings on most travel trailers).

The bag thingy that hangs in the shower is a joke.  You can't actually use it and use the bathroom.  Evidently no one thought about where to put it when the bathroom access is required....really stupid idea. 

In defense of the light quality cabinets you must weigh heavier materials against a larger GVW and greater towing cost.  The factory could sub the cabinets out to IKEA, and probably end up with better quality at a lower cost, but apparently no one thought of that.

Good things that still make the unit worth owning:

Easy to tow
Fits small campsites
Easy camp set-up
bunk-bed model provides needed storage space (we use the dinette area to sleep as we like to eat outside most of the time, only using the dinette in the rain).
Fiberglass exterior...easy to maintain.
A bathroom with a shower....well sort of....you can take a crap and shower at the same time...a novel do-only-once adventure!
Small enough to park at home

Things I would like to see:

1. A simple awning.  The slide track is there.  Could be made to retail for $150. (similar units for tents are available in that price range ( google:  Moto Cabana by Mountain Sun).

2. Move the spar tire to one side and use the space for a second receiver on which you could put a bike rack or a mesh basket carrier (increases rear utility at very little increase in cost.
All-in-all I would say that the GM (President) for this division is sitting on his or her hands.  He(She) is selling a great concept that is waiting to be leap-frogged by a company that can build a better quality unit with similar features for the same dollar.  Too bad.  With a little effort you could own this market segment.  As it is, you producing a blue print for success by someone else.

Not sure why everyone gets so pissy if someone mentions something negative with the R-Pod.  Look at my posts and the all issues I have with mine.  It's really uncalled for with all the issues these things have (at least the 2010 models).  If you're fine and happy with yours, great, but don't diss someone for posting how their experience has been.  If a potential buyer really only wants to hear the good about the unit and not the problems or the bad, then he/she should never even ask.

Been using our 2010 177 all summer.  Absolutely love it and not one single problem.  Of course there are things that could be improved, but we got a great price and it put us in a new camper.  Enjoying the pod and the fun it brings us spending time with the grown daughters and my husband.  Someday I will probably buy something with a little more room, but I am grateful for the pod and enjoying it tremendously.  This forum is a big part of the love I have for the pod.  So helpful for us since we have never owned a camper before.  What a great group of people.

I guess I just don't understand. If the bed didn't fit you to begin with, why did you purchase that camper? I'm amazed at the things people have done/will do to retrofit something so it works for them, when in fact, it was in their control all along to make the initial purchase or not.

You perceive "pissy" differently than I do.  Why someone would spend thousands for a trailer before a proper pre-buy inspection...maybe it's a pisser to the person who spent the money, but to me it's only a mystery.

When I say pissy, I'm talking about those who condem someone at the 1st sign of them speaking negatively about a product.  If this message forum is supposed to be only "hey, I love my R-Pod and never had an issue with it and it's the best thing since sliced bread", then lets call it that, so those newbies aren't confused and sure to know that they're only allowed to get positive reviews of the R-Pod.

I have taken my pod from Florida to Mass and am enjoying the 177 a lot.  Yes it has some cheap parts, but I wasn't expecting a Winnebago.  I replaced the cheap tongue jack, which was binding up, with a smooth operating top crank model.  I also have a leak in the city water connector, external to the pod wall.  This cheap plastic fixture will be replaced with brass.  Other than that, I have enjoyed the weeks spent in the pod this summer.

Dear this-is-NASCAR,
There is world of difference between expressing a dissenting opinion about a product or concept and expressing contempt for that product or concept. Members of this forum, and the other one you and a number of us contribute to, are very obviously content with the product we all laid out some "major money" for. Many of us have said that we empathize with your position, and can commiserate with the fact that your experience with the R-Pod you purchased was a negative one. However, it would appear that, with apparently very few exceptions, your experience is extraordinary and untypical. It would probably sit better with all your fellow podders if you could find some other way of letting new and potential owners of this delightful little camping trailer that you had a lousy experience, and feel let down by the manufacturer. At the same time, you need to acknowledge that your 'lemon' was not the standard product and that people can have a joyful and fulfilling camping time in an R-Pod as built by Forest River.

With all due respect, I'll continue to express my concerns of the build quality and overall quality of the Forest River R-Pod, when asked, based on my experience.  My ~$10k (or whatever it was) gives me the right to do so.  On a positive note, I will say the Forest River was on the ball with each and every warranty issue.  They balked a bit on the window replacements, but eventually did the right thing.

Hello everyone, I am a new R-podder. We just bought a 177, 2012 model and have used it 2 times so far. We love it and also have ordered a new mattress for it. We were wondering if others have noticed a 'thump' and vibration when the compressor cycles on and off. I know this is normal to an extent, but not sure if it is knocking more than it should. Any info on this? Is there a problem or is this something we will learn to sleep through???
We are retiring this year and are looking forward to many trips to come. We are still trying to come up with a name for our pod.

We bought our 2010 173 early in June.  The Coleman compressor is so quiet inside we don't notice when it cycles on and off. The fan is another story.  The trailer we traded in had a Dometic A/C and everything about it was noisy.

Thanks Bob, ours is a dometic a/c, maybe that explains the noise. It feels like someone stomps the top of the camper everytime it cycles off and on.

They thump when they cycle, no worries there!  We all learn to sleep through it eventually.  Leaving the fan on hi or low setting instead of auto helps with the sound a bit!

Travis, do you by chance have a Dometic A/C? We have only had one, and it was very noisy even when the compressor was not running.  All of our other RVs have had Colemans, and all were much quieter.

Just curious, but am I the only one that thinks the Coleman A/C units are relatively quiet?  Unless I hear the thermostat click, I can't tell when the compressor kicks on or off.  However, I do wear a pair of hearing aids and often miss "noise" that others hear.

During our May trip out west, we had an Aerolite Zoom with a Dometic A/C.  It was so noisy that we had problems hearing the TV at night.  And, yes, we could hear the compressor kick on and off.  I thought the unit was just close to being worn out by the original owner.

I and not knocking Dometic products.  I recently purchased one of their newest inverters, the LW3000, which is an electric unit, and that thing purrs and has no problems starting and running our A/C.  And, I have never had any problems with Dometic appliances inside any RV we have owned, going back to 1979.

What you want in quality is an Airstream. If you have $35,000.00 more than the rpod price, go for it. Me, I have something better to do with that much money.

There is a lot of cache to the Airstream, that is for sure. But they use all the same components everybody else does. Their construction method is different, and, IMHO, flawed at it's core. There are better made, more durable, and cheaper campers.
