We purchased a new R-Pod 190 about a month ago (with all the warranties as well)... I did all this research before my wife an I went to a dealership.. and the RPOD (for several years running) is the best small RV on the market... so far we love it and can't wait to get it on the road!!

Yes, congratulations. This baby is so easy to tow and easy to modify. My wife and I love ours after pulling around much larger trailers for a lot of years. Everything is easy about this little bug!!

3/4" is the size socket I use for the lug nuts.

speaking of using a torque wrench on the lug nuts, what size are the nuts. I have read anywhere from 19-21 mm. I want to have one before I pick it up.
Thanks! |

That sucks for your topper to rip so fast, they are one of the better reviewed one. Did you have the PolyPro or the PermaPro?

Getting back to covers...........we have a Classic Accessory cover for our 190. It's on it's second year and ripped on the top from front to back. Only used it for the winter months. I filed a claim with Classic on the 3 year warranty and am waiting for their decision to replace. Stay tuned.

Thanks again. I'm thinking I will go with the Hughes surge protector with EPO. The price is right and I like that you can monitor it with your smart phone, it is actually $40 cheaper on Amazon than it is on Hughes site.

A lot depends on the quality of the power available. In some RV parks, the electrical systems are inadequate and there can be brownouts which could damage things like the AC. The Autoformer is made for such situations where the voltage is sagging. It will boost it which means that the amperage needed to run things remains lower so your appliances are likely to last longer. However, whether you NEED one or not, is debatable. Whether you might find it useful is a matter of personal choice. I chose to purchase one. For the most part, if you think you will have relatively stable power without voltage sags, then a surge protector or an upgraded circuit analyzer with surge protection is a good choice.

So what I am getting out of this is that if I will be more often than not running the power using a standard 15a plug or a generator, I really don't want a booster, just a surge protector? Electrical is the probably the thing I understand the least when it comes to the trades.
