J agree with your selection!
I have a P3 and I used it in my 2014 Ram Eco Diesel, 2013 Mercedes ML 350 diesel, 2017 ram ha!f ton, 2013_jeep unlimited, and my current 2021 jeep gladiator eco diesel. I had to fabricate the cable for the Mercedes from a Ram cable. Jeep and Ram are from the same corporate ownership but the cables are different, two wires are reversed (ground & 12VDC). Generally a dedicated cable is available for most vehicles for about $15. It is just plug and play! The hardest part is locating the connection that is hidden under the dash.

Thanks for putting together all these information. 
Was looking for a guide for bearing repack, and got Podster's comprehensive guide.
Now just patiently waiting for the spring!

Grids are another tedious part of web design. If you build your own grid, you'll get very familiar with your calculator as you figure out the best proportions for columns and gutters on your site. In fact, a lot of novice web designers don't build their own grids at all. But if you don't use a grid in some fashion, your designs will suffer for it https://mlsdev.com/blog/it-outsourcing-companies

Make sure that the antenna booster switch is on. It's a pushbutton on the antenna cable jack's wall plate behind the TV. An LED will glow if it is turned on. You then have to use the TV remote to run a channel scan on the TV to find which channels are available in the area.

Hi!

My wife and I bought a 2019 Forest River RPOD 190 a few months ago, and I was really disappointed that there wasn't more documentation that came with it. I guess I was spoiled - all my previous RVs (2-Class C and 1 Class A) were Winnebago/Itasca and the "owner's manuals" were in 3-ring binders, nearly 2 inches thick.

One of the first things I did was start a collection of everything I could find online that applied to the RPOD - appliances, wiring, plumbing, etc. and created PDF files for everything. I printed it all and took the pages to FedEx and got everything comb-bound.

I haven't gone completely through your list yet, but I will and send you anything that appears to be relevant.

So far, I've done a LOT of mods on the little 'Pod. Replaced the converter with a Progressive Dynamics PD4135, added 30A solar charge controller, replaced 8 AWG wire and frame ground between battery bank (now 2 X GC2 6V) and converter with runs of 4 AWG welding cable, rebuilt flimsy frame under bed, added panel under bed for access to winterizing connections, ran reverse wiring from vehicle pigtail to backup lights, and installed Rear Vision Safety bluetooth remote backup camera.

Thanks for your efforts, I'll try to contribute anything else I come across.

@Mom Dunn- yes, you still need to sanitize the lines before each season to make sure there are no bad organisms growing in your water system. Just good health practice.
