“We were driving east on highway 50 about 65 MPH.we looked in the side mirrors and saw the front window of the rpod shattered. When we noticed the window we were about 90 miles west of ely nevada. We had stopped about 30-45 minutes prior for lunch and everything was good. Very limited traffic on the road. The window was completely shattered and glad was all over inside of the pod on the bed.”

This is what happened to it when we took it on a 25 mile county road in montana. It was towed at a average speed of 10 to 20 miles an hour on the trip to the campground: the refrigerator broke loose from the 4 screws holding it and slide back, luckily the propane line didn't break off, also the refrigerator had been in for warranty work in january 2020 because the refrigerator was mounted in from the factory. The exit door got stuck and we had to crawl out the emergency exit window. …”
