1.  Once i fill the fresh water tank and get to the campsite do I pressurize the fresh water tank and leave the switch on or turn it off then only repressurize when pressure appears low?  Does this matter whether I am on battery or shore power?? The pump does not pressurize the tank. It only pressurizes the hot and cold water piping inside the Pod. The pump can be left on, or turned off at your option. If you leave it on it may cycle occasionally to maintain pressure. No difference on battery or shore power.

2.  Once the fresh water tank is filled and am at the campsite do I turn on the water heater and leave it on?  Does it matter if I am on battery or shore power (or is the water heater propane)?? The WH can be left on. It will run on electric if on shore power, gas if not. It can be run on both to reduce recovery time if on shore power.

3.  Somewhere I read in a thread that once the water heater is full you can add more fresh water thus increasing your fresh water supply.  Is this done simply by pressurizing the fresh water tank and turning on the water heater?? You should fill the WH once by turning on the pump and running a HW faucet until it flows without spitting, then top off the FW tank. From then on the WH will remain filled until you intentionally empty it for winterization. It can remain filled at home between trips, but check it each time before turning on the electric element.

Sorry for the stupid questions but somehow these points didn't register in the dealer data dump when I picked up the Rpod.

As a last point - on my last outing I finally used the refrigerator.  When I took it to my storage place I left the refrigerator door ajar so it would dry out and not mold.  Went to the unit today and the battery was dead.  Must be a light in the refrigerator that I missed and it drained the battery.  Plan on bringing the unit to the house tomorrow and hook up to an extension cord from the house to recharge the battery.  Any problems with that?? In storage you should turn the fridge OFF. This turns off the control and the light and eliminates the current draw. However, the propane/CO detector will draw ~0.1A which will deplete the battery in a few weeks. If leaving the camper unattended in storage you should disconnect one battery lead. Plug in overnight at home.

As always appreciate the help.  Us newbies need all we can get.
