What owners report
2020 Forest River Rpod 191. Sewer termination bracket failed and the plumbing dragged on the road. Contacted Forest River and was told our VIN was not included in the national recall for the exact same thing. Our RPod model and year is the same in the recall but apparently wasn't included in the recall.
Front window randomly shattered while parked for a week with know known impact to trailer or window. The windshield shattered, and did not have an ANSI stamp anywhere on it.
Sagging walls on 2020 Forest River R-Pod RP-190. Walls sag to the point where the tires will contact the fender.
The glass in the front window spontaneously combusts
FRONT WINDOW OF CAMPER SHATTERED FOR NO REASON SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. FOREST RIVER HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE ABOUT REPAIRING THIS. IF WE HAD BEEN IN THE CAMPER SLEEPING, THE SHATTERED GLASS WOULD HAVE WENT ALL OVER US, POSSIBLY INTO EYES AND MOUTH. CAMPER WAS PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND WITH STABILIZERS DEPLOYED. HAVE READ ABOUT OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING. WINDOW FRAME LOOKS TO HAVE SEVERAL SCREW HEADS THAT ARE OVERTIGHTENED, FRAME APPEARS TO BE WARPED WHICH MAY HAVE PUT GLASS IN A BIND.
