Found this post on the Rpod forums. Dated 2015:
My Rpod came with a "free" lifetime warranty. I put that in quotes because it's anything but free.
In order to stay in effect, I have to take the RV in once a year for an inspection/service, for which they will charge me $100. (This is separate from winterizing and de-winterizing)
If I miss a year, the warranty is over. So if I keep the RV for 10 years, I will have paid $1,000 for a "free" warranty. Good deal, huh? :)
However, RV repairs are very expensive these days, one or two major repairs, and I might come out ahead, who knows.
