Consumer Description
In November 2019 Technical Service Bulletin: 51-1058, was issued because medicine cabinets were falling off the walls in multiple Forest River 2019 and 2020 units including amongst others the RPOD 195. "WHAT IS THE ISSUE? The medicine cabinet may detach from the bathroom wall during transit." Apparently Forest River did not fix the problem in their manufacturing process as our medicine cabinet in our 2022 RPod 195 started banging against the wall. The left side was loose, the screws would not tighten. We caught it early and to prevent further damage, we removed the cabinet from the wall for the rest of the trip. All the left side screws are screwed into nothing but the interior wall board, grabbing and being supported by nothing. The vibrating screws were starting to cause damage and enlarge the holes in the wallboard. The right side screws seemed more secure. I learned from the Facebook 195/196 group that this has happened to multiple other people with years outside the original Technical Bulletin. I contacted Forest River, who referred me to a dealer. The dealer said that they will not fix it under warranty or the Technical Bulletin.
