some what unhappy

We received our new rpod 178 on May 3rd. I am some what disappointed! We opened our pod to find saw dust, screws etc. on the floor. The outside light did not have a bulb in it, one of the speaker covers on the inside had a large dent in it and one of the led lights would not shut off. WE bought it at Jeff Couches, the price was right at $13,500. I will say that the people at Jeff Couches were helpful and took care of the matters in a timely matter. Now we have noticed that the hot water is not very hot. I have it set at both LP and shore power. I read here before that maybe the water valve is not opened all the way. Will try this. The quality is not great but I guess you get what you pay for. I love the pod and the r-dome has been great. We are here in Maine for the summer. The wife is not as much in love with it as I am, she says she has to get use to no closet space. I have built a 8x8 baby barn and have be using this for our clothes. We will get a shelter logic canopy to use for cooking etc. and to put her car in for the winter.

Luke warm water is always improper valve setting. It comes from the factory that way. The middle crossover valve should be st perpendicular to the pipe; the other two should be set parallel to the pipes. Reverse for winterizing. 

Welcome.

In Our new 180 none of the coax cables were connected to the connector plate, as well as the yellow video cable from the amplifier.  We got sound but no picture on DVDs.  You may want to check if the antenna is actually connected to the amplified output plate.
