2017 Forest River R-Pod Class B reviews

Positively: - The unit is light and very easy to pull. - It is aesthetically pleasing and good to look at. - For a small trailer, this model of kitchen is quite adequate. Less positively: - The sink in the bathroom is so small, it simply cannot be used. - I cannot believe I spent this much money and they did not include an electric igniter in the stove. Really? - The panel underneath the refrigerator covering all of the wires has come off. It has been poorly and cheaply installed with metal staples. - The plastic box holding the two batteries has been installed too close to the outside roof. It is next to impossible to remove the cover of the box and replace it. All they had to do was have the box another inch further away from the roof. - The end cushions for the table are way too soft, and when a person sits on them, they sink so far down that the table height is up to a person’s chest! - The back cushion is held to the wall with some Velcro, but not enough of them, and the Velcro strips do not stick to the backing of the cushion. - The clothes closet is ridiculously too narrow. - The kitchen table is an awkward design and difficult to get around. - The overall main problem with the unit is a lack of storage. In conclusion, the product is very poorly designed and made with shoddy workmanship and inferior materials. I traded a 9 foot camper with a slide, for this r-pod and I regret doing it. I had more space and far more storage in my camper than I do in this trailer. I very much regret buying this product and would not recommend it to anyone. In short, it is a piece of junk. Show less

Pros: Cute, good design, easily towed. Cons: Cheapest quality, flimsiest materials, crudest workmanship imaginable!! Silicone caulk looks as if it were applied with a spatula by someone who was interested only in getting the work done as quickly as possible. Smudgy handprints everywhere. Perhaps I just got a lemon, but parts were broken, pieces missing, and poor alignment of everything. There was evidence of water leakage around the windows which might explain the slathering of silicone all over the exterior in a futile effort to fix the problem. I do not know if it is standard practice for R-Pod dealerships, but when I called to request replacement (warranty) parts, I was required to hand over the defective part before it would be replaced. The most frustrating part was that only the individual who sold it to me at the dealership could order parts or make a correction. It will take two to three weeks to be delivered to the dealership.
