Making a check list of is a great idea and something I am already working on. I play a Manufacturing Engineer Mon-Fri and part of my job to is define/write processes. This sometimes carries over to home and definitely will for the pod. 

The wife really wants to go to Camping World, so we are headed there today. 

John just posted a great review on his YouTube channel on leveling and unhooking trailer. For us newbies it’s great.

Welcome and congrats. Don't get nervous about a leak here or a squeak there, it's all normal. You have to go thru your share of beeping fridge and ,how do i shut the fan off issues. It's part of the fun and overall experience. Nothing is a major problem and between here and the dealer you will be fine. Just enjoy the new experience of being off the ground and no wet canvass.

I had forgotten about the beeping fridge!

Oh we are tickled pink right now! I know I’ll have my fair share of issues and quirks, it to be expected.

The key to off setting major problems is to address minor problems when they occur. You are on the right track, with your fresh water drain, you see it fix it. Use that warranty while you have it and Happy Trails.

Took delivery today. Very pleased with the purchasing process, painless all around. Got it home and noticed a small drip from the fresh water drain plug. I will be checking the plug and go from there, maybe add some Teflon tape. If it will not stop it will be going back for a fix. Overall really happy.

The problem is that we DID get scammed. We were out $2000 on that. No more Craigslist! We bought our R-Pod from a dealer who provided excellent support.

Enjoy your first outing. We have some planned for this year so I am working on a modification I want to have done before we leave. I'm most of the way done and will be writing it up with pictures soon.
