We recently purchased an RPod 179 and loved it on our overnight maiden voyage. Going to spend 6 days travelling soon, so stay tuned for more stories and questions. Thanks for the Forum!

Just a few questions as a new owner.
Do you use a regular pest control in your POD? We will be storing ours at an RV/Boat storage facility and it will be parked in a crushed shell lot. If leaving in storage, do you leave any food items (which are in sealed plastic containers) or paper goods (TP or Scott Towels) in the POD? Has anyone found a locking water cap? Also, a replacement cap for the black water hose storage container. Ours is missing one end. I saw on YOUTUBE how one POD owner used a cutting board to make a cover for the stove. Has anyone used anything else to cover the stove to make more counter space? Thanks in advance for any tips. :-) |

I don't leave any food item, liquid, soap, hand lotions or anything that has liquid in it. I live in Southern Indiana and we can have temps in the single digits. I do put out a couple of dryer sheets under the storage areas as I have heard this keeps mice from trying to get in. batteries out of the detectors. paper products, sheets, towels, pillows are ok. We don't even leave sugar, salt, pepper or spices inside during winter. We remove those items and replace with fresh in the spring.

Thanks DSmiths for the thoughtful tips.
I would not have thought about dryer sheets! Also would not have thought to remove the batteries from detectors. We live in SW Florida, so weather is different, but bugs are everywhere. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you again for your time. :-) |

We leave most stuff in over the summer, but like others we take just about everything out over the winter. I leave the toilet paper and paper towels - knock on wood we've never had a mouse problem even tough they are all around us.
