Welcome!
We also had the sink issue!  Lucky enough to catch it early.  Stopped at the dealer on the way home from camping.  The flex pipe was not even connected.  No matter how tight I put the nut it would still leak. They loosened all the plumbing and reset it's positions.  
Another issue was the smoke alarm going off the first time we used the furnace.  Turns out there is an oily film on the grate that needs to be "burned" off. 
Good trip otherwise!

Sorry you had problems, I think most of those little problems could be resolved by a good Pre Delivery by the selling dealer, they are paid to do that, Donna and I have not had any problems yet with any little aggravations, and I hope we dont. Happy Poddin

  We recently bought our R Pod after doing much research on this forum. Our first trip was up the Alaska Highway,from Washington State to our home on Kodiak Island. We found several of the things discussed on the forum to be correct, such as the poor quality of the mattress....it is junk! And, the decals on the front started peeling within a few days of our purchase, which did not surprise me after studying the forum. Also within a few days, the TV fell of the cabinet. I suspect the mounting bolts may have been a little loose. The connection of the flex hose drain pipe to the trap, under the sink, came loose as well. Just got wet socks before I got it  fixed. Here again, I think it may have been loose from the factory.
  Other than that we are pleased with our 177 and are looking forward to a summer of camping on the local beaches
