R-Pod Class B reviews

The key features that drew my wife and I to this model are the massive storage capacity, the amazing view from the driver's seat of a class A, and the affordability. Other great features include large fresh water and holding tanks, hydraulic touch pad leveling jacks, winter usage, and the tub. This class A motorhome has many great features and a budget price.

Having Fleetwood motorhomes in the past, I was very surprised at the lack of quality in the workmanship of this R-Vision Trail-Lite motorhome compared to Fleetwood. The Ford chassis and frame are comparable as well as most of the interior components and finishes to most other motorhomes in this price range. What disappointed me most however was the very poor quality of the assembly crew and quality control. For example, cabinet doors assembled out of line with other doors, inconsistent visible fastener spacing (i.e. upholstery buttons), poor alignment of panels and trims, gaps in assembly not covered, sloppy plumbing installs, poor waterproofing sealer application, leading to the overall impression that this was built by a team of worker who had just been told they were fired but forced to work the rest of the day. I was able to repair most of these issues since most were cosmetic. On the other hand, the overall electrical systems were above average in functionality, layout and features also better than average. We have had no problems with systems other than a very short but wide fresh water tank that measures 1/4 full when emptied due to 1" of water remaining below the water outlet. (I added a suction tube to the outlet to drain it completely) There were also lots of wasted spaces not utilized for storage so I added 3 additional drawers in these areas. The single slide could have been made nearly 12" wider to maximize the space it occupies and increase the living space and the additional chair bolted inside the door is way to close to the wall and passenger seat to use easily (I moved this) All in all for a 28' coach, we really like the layout and design and it is quiet on the road. I particularly like the HUGE 3' x 4' tunnel under the bed in the rear for equipment storage. This alone makes this nearly a toy hauler as it fits 2 full size bikes and other camping necessities.
