If you got water out of the pressure relief valve on the tank that heats the water then your good to heat up your water either electrical or via LP gas. As far as the screws I wouldn't go over 1.5 inches I think that the flooring is 2 inch but you will not get any more bite on the screws after going through the top piece of plywood which pretty thin, because under the plywood flooring is (I think) 1.5 inches of foam insulation other than the random aluminium framing in the floor. Hope this helps and you can also look up links on this forum about the construction links to the R-Pod trailers this also will help you to understand where the floor bracing will be located.

Hi JR.
Turns out that when I pressed the purge valve no h2o came out on the outside of the camper. Called teh dealer and had to remove mattress, unscrew the luan 1/4 " plywood and turn on the inlet and outlet of the hot water tank. Now I am all set to test it! Unrelated topic buy while I removed the plywood under the rv queen, I see the that 3/4" by 1.5" grid that supports the mattress was broken in one spot. I plan to go to the lumber yard today. What size screws can I screw into the floow of the camper under that so that it will not come through the underside of the camper?

I am not sure what handles you are referring to but to check and find out if the tank that heats your water is full BEFORE you turn on your electric heating element, you will find this water tank (it's small, it only holds 6 gallons of water) behind a black metal door on the slide out side of the trailer below the window on the front of the trailer. The black metal door has 2 air vents in the door. Open this door and you will find the pressure relief valve that I referred to, it should be a brass valve located near the top center of the tank, this valve has a small handle on it and it is just like the one on your tank that heats up your water in your house. Hope this helps.

So I see what looks like 2 handles outside one is red and one is black. Is that what you are referring to?

Well Andy just make sure the water tank that heats the water is full before you start heating it, either electrically or with gas. To ensure that the tank that heats the water up is full pull the handle on the pressure relief valve and your system should be pressurized so water should come out of the valve. If the tank is not full you can burn out the electrical element very quickly and it is not good to light the LP gas burner without the tank being full with water.

Hi Jay!
Good luck! We are newbies also and are exploring our rpod 190 in our driveway. Have everything functioning. Just need to test the hot water tank which needs to be turned on. Andy
