Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We purchased a 2021 R-Pod 171 in march 2021. The front window randomly shattered on I-10 as the trailer was being towed at 55 MPH. There was no debris on the road, or found when cleaning up the glass in the camper. There were no other vehicles on the road. The road was smooth. I have come to learn this is a known issue with R-Pod front windows, and Forest River will not fix the issue. Forest river was using single pane windows. Those broke. They switched to thicker glass (which is what I am told what we had) that supposedly don't break. Now they do double pane windows. …”
