For me, letting the horse out of the barn before closing the door, doesn't work. I have even purchased insurance before having a claim. Crazy me!! We have purchased and use an adjustable pressure regulator with guage. Lets me see and adjust water pressure entering the Pod. Have noted one location with pressure over 80 psi. Certainly could be a problem with the plastic internal piping of the Pod. Adjusted the pressure with the regulator and all was well. Seems to me, waiting for a disaster before reacting is not something that I'm comfortable with. I also have a surge protector that has indicator lights that show if the power is correctly connected from the campground. Have found a couple of instances where the ground was not properly connected and moved to another site. Don't know if I could have been electrocuted, but didn't want to find out and then have any survivors then react and buy a surge protector. I certainly don't consider myself an expert on anything, but will continue to share my experiences and let others make up their own minds. Isn't that what this forum is all about? Safe Travels.

I always figure on spending at least 10% of the purchase price towards things I buy. In this case, I'm sooooo far under that to buy these things, I'm ok. I hate reacting since it usually means I'm payung to fix the damage and then buying the preventative items.

We purchased an inexpensive, plastic regulator at Walmart. Don't know the brand (it's stored in the pup). They simply restrict water flow so there is not much to them and you don't need anything expensive.

Even the brass regulators (not flow restrictors) are so inexpensive that they are expendable. Since they attach between the campground's hose bib and your hose, many campers unhook their hose and forget to remove the regulator. It is very easy to forget, I know from personal experience. I now attach the regulator to the hose very tightly, where it stays when we break camp. This way you have to remove the regulator with the hose.

The plastic plumbing in a Pod is Pex and rated to handle lots more than 80 PSI. Go ahead and spend your money on what makes you happy.

Didn't realise we needed your permission. Seems like you need an attitude adjustment. Possibly low T at your age. Might want to see your Doc about that. We are all entitled to our opinions, even you. Might want to get off your high horse and be more constructive rather than continuing with your need of an attitude adjustment. Safe Travels. |

Reading about the hose issue, has anyone seen, heard or used the Sewer Solution system? I saw it on YouTube and I'm thinking about getting it to use if I'm able to use our clean out trap at home. Of course it can be used anywhere. Would love some feedback on this. Thanks.

The R-Pod has a built-in black water tank flush fitting. With that, the standard 3" hose works well. I don't see the need to pay a premium price for the Sewer Solution, which takes over twice the time to empty the tank and still requires tank flushing to be effective in cleaning it out.
