Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The camper was not in use sitting stored with AC running brand new. Caught fire. Has not been used as it was purchased right before covid 19. Ac was on to keep out mold. Nothing else was on or being used unit was plugged in for 7 days before it caught on fire. Plugged into the house electric using the factory cable that came with it. Possible safety issue as looking through public groups and this seems to be a common issue with the 2019 R-Pod 190. Unit was brand new we are very lucky that we were not using the camper I do not want to see anyone get hurt we did receive a police report”
