Yep, check to see if your tow vehicle needs a relay or fuse, ours needed both, they came in a bag with the cable dongle to hook up the brake controller.

I think I went through and fixed almost all the hinge screws in our cabinet doors. A drop of glue and a penny match stick broken off in the hole, and put the screw back in. The screws in the Pod are all with a square drive head, so one of those driver bits needs to be in the tool box.
Happy podding! |

Good report so far!
Only thing I know to metion with your battery not charging while towing is that depending on if tow package was standard or not sometimes an additional wire must be run from the TV battery back to where your Pod connects for charging. Other than that, have fun in the shower, you'll get used to it. Oh and very jealous of the fresh local cheap seafood dinners!! |

P. S. Whoever suggested getting a three ring notebook and putting clear plastic sleeves in it, is a brilliant idea. Took all of the brochures, instruction manuals and put one in each sleeve. Easy to find in one place.

Well its's early Sat. morning and here's the scoop. Arrived yesterday about 3. Easy tow down the I-5 and then cutover to the beach. Was watching for any sway and other than changing lanes it towed just fine. Did snuggle up to a couple of large tractor trailers and no problems. I believe the weight of the tow vehicle to the weight of the Rpod is a big factor. After settling in and starting to put our stuff away realized we have to be very judicious on putting stuff away. Not a lot of storage space. Thank goodness for Velcro, and the Command Hooks. The little ceramic heater that I purchased works just
Coos Bay is a fishing town and we are camped very near the docks. Was told that lots of fresh fish and shell fish can be purchased for very reasonable prices. Gonna have some cracked crab for dinner tonight. So far the only "gripes" are a loose door under the sink, seems the wood screws were driven too far and have stripped out, and some mystery with the battery not charging while towing. Will have to have that checked when we return. I am debating on wether to replace the sink with a larger SS one. Jury still out on that. We need another 2 cubit feet of storage. Oh well, we'll work it out. By the way, we did replace the mattress with one of those 8" thick mattresses. Slept like a baby. Highly recommend it over the original mattress. Was a little too tired to cook last night so my wife heated some soup in the microwave. Works fine. Anyway will try the shower soon. Have to remember to keep my elbows together. TTFN. (Ta Ta for now)

Congratulations!
I had always used the blue stuff util last year. Some here on the forum spoke well of the more eco-friendly stuff so, I used it last year. I don't think it does as good at controlling odor as long as the blue. For 2-3 days, it's fine. If things start to get a little smelly, I just put in another dose......it doesn't cost that much.

If the odor gets bad, you can always dump a gallon of bleach down the toilet. We bought http://www.nature-zyme.net/consumer-products.html during our first weekend as we didn't have anything else, and it does seem to be working out well for us.
