Great idea lost again!  I have a full cover but that wouldn't work while I'm using the trailer.  Any successions on how to easily anchor a tarp?

Bolder Gal, one  last suggestion.  On a temporary basis, put a plastic tarp over the top of your Pod to keep the roof dry until you can get a sunny day [arriving in mid-July] to take a look at where the water is getting in.  We keep a tarp on ours [for sun, not rain] when we're not going to use it for a while.
Never leave footprints behind.

Ok guys .... you can get back to your WV and CA discussion!  I'm back home (without my rPod) for the weekend and have enjoyed a full size shower!  It's about a 4 hour drive (without towing rPod) so I don't pull it back and forth.  I'll be back to the coast tomorrow, hoping my little troublesome trailer has fixed itself (HaHa) and if it's not raining I'll tackle the a/c leak.  I've gotten so much great advice .... THANK YOU ALL!!

Hopefully there will be a dry day soon.  I'm sure I can borrow a ladder from the campground office to get up and take off the a/c cover.  Crazy how so many things can go wrong so quickly!Ouch

Yepper, sorry BoulderGal. But methinks she'll take it right back whenever she wants to. Big smile

BTW, please don't take that as either praise for CA or derogatory toward WV, or vice versa. As a long term resident for more than 10 years in each state, I love them both. Both have great things to offer us rPoders and exemplify the wonderful diversity that we have in our great country.

CA definitely has some standards, experienced that from my many NTC rotations.

That could certainly be. WV isn't CA, for sure.
