In owners' words
What R-POD owners report
Recent equipment complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
Awning was open to dry after rain. When we came home from lunch, the arms were as low as they can be with the awning completely out of its track. We brought it to RV dealership today. They confirmed the fact that there is a recall on the awning itself.
