Damp-Rid is the classic desiccant for confined spaces. We usually leave a container in the pod during the winter when it is closed and covered. It is available in different sizes and containers t the home center or supermarket.

Thanks for the info about the trip. We're considering it and I'll get in touch if we confirm.

Originally posted by rpodcamper.com Welcome!  I bought from the same dealer. We are having a camping weekend next weekend jan 25-27. At French creek state park. Your welcome to come  Not sure on your leak problem. Was the unit totally closed?

We have a 181G and have experienced some water collection in the recesses occasionally but we think it was due to condensation. We keep a 'Dri-Z-Air' dehumidifier in the garage and haven't had the problem since. 

We have a 182G also and have had no problems with water getting into the back.  We store garbage bags and dish towels sometimes in those recesses and occasionally items may get a little damp.  But the water is usually either from our dish drying rack which sometime drips down there or maybe some water drips when disconnecting the quick-disconnect faucet and may find its way to the recesses.  We don't take those lids off very often so I think what water does collect there is the result of several trips.  Since you have not really used your rPod yet, not sure where it is coming from.  We have driven the camper in driving rain storms and heavy wet snow on trips to Alaska and back and also down to Truckee and LA in California and back from Washington state and not had any external leakage.  I think that back door is designed really well to keep all external water out.  Good luck with the 182G.  We just LOVE ours.
