Hi::

I'm a long time R-pod 151 owner and am looking at upgrading to a 177 or 178.  My only concern is the position of the kitchen sink aka water and the position of the bed.   Have owners had any problems with a wet bed after using the sink(washing dishes, veggies etc)  and if so any modifications I can do to keep seepage off the bed?

We have the 182G and bunks in the rear. No water issues from sink for me, but then every thing I wash goes to the right. I've covered the burners with a cutting board, leave a drying mat on board. Don't see this to be a problem.

We have a 177 and have had no problem with water, when the slide is out the sink is in front of you and you would be getting wet first.
Can't say it enough, how much we enjoy our 177 pod.

I have a 178 purchased in May and we've done a few trips, no problem with water splashing on the bed, always bumped out.  I do wish the faucet would swivel because it sort of gets in the way.

We have a 2015 178. Ours swivels and no water issues. But it you get sloppy it could happen.

Hey thanks! I wonder if they just tightened mine down too tight at the factory.

Smile  Thanks.  I will check for a swivel faucet.  

Thanks for your replies.  I'm thinking to use a nice looking plastic cloth on the edge of the bed for the first while until I find my way around the trailer.   In the rpod151 I seemed to get water around the sink every time I used it.   I'm off tomorrow to make a final decision on which model to take home.

Our 2011 182G kitchen faucet swivels.

I can comment about water around the sink, but that is because my hands are wet when I turn off the faucet. I started leaving a rolled up strip of paper towels behind the faucet to catch the dribbles from my hand.

Likewise, we leave a sponge below each valve handle to catch drips, which helps with about 90% of the mess.
