Thank you. I have seen other posts about the hot and cold water switched since. I wish I could design my own R-pod. It does seem Forest River is listening though a little. The mirror is no longer held up with tape at least. I really do like being downsized and I would buy one again. Easy to clean also.

First of all this forum is wonderful. Just bought a 180 at Couch RV. The cheapest price I could find anywhere. Mediocre experience there. They really did not care just wanted me out the door. I am towing it with a Lexus GX 460 and a E2 weight distribution bar. So far no problems with that. I wanted to get on the road back to Texas so I camped the first night about 6 hours away. The first thing I discovered no hot water in the sink. A little troubleshooting and I discovered the hot and cold were reversed in the kitchen sink and outdoor shower which feeds from those connections. I was able to switch that but poor quality control for sure at the factory. I also have little marks on the stone wood interior everywhere as if a plastic covering was torn off of it. I then noticed every faucet in the thing there are 8 turn a different direction for on off and are not intuitive except for the kitchen. Got the label machine out to prevent a future scalding incident. I have camped in it maybe 8 nights and really like it though. I had the big Diesel pusher and except for the workmanship like the Rpod better. I winterized it the other day and thank you for the winterization checklist. I spend hours on this forum and it gave me so many ideas for mods. I did do a battery disconnect switch for the dual battery setup which is great. I keep buying new accessories every time I get on here so Amazon is enjoying my business. Thanks agan for all of your posts that have really helped me learn about my new purchase
