Glad to hear you have had no problems.  It will remain to be seen on the newer 2016 models.  Thanks for the input.

There are lots more good outcomes than bad ones.  Sadly the few that have problems include a few that prefer to whine instead if working with their dealer.  They post endlessly on the internet and give false impressions to others about quality.

Glad to see at least some happy campers! I got my 2016 179 last summer from a high-volume, reputable dealer and have had no problems...knock on wood...but I've only used it about 2 weeks to date, towed it approx. 2,000 miles with a Toyota Tundra. I love the camper!

Just to update my earlier post. After another lukewarm shower, I did crawl up under the bed and turned the bypass valve. Now my water is hot enough to scald you. The hard part was getting those tiny screws loose. I used Velcro strips to fasten the cover back so it should be easy to remove when I need to winterize.

I've been planning to check the valves but haven't wanted to crawl up under the bed yet. The rpod is still in the campground. Will probably do so when we bring it back home.

Good point Charlie.  If one follows your advice they will find that the 130 degree water is HOT enough for any ones liking.  Since we normally dry camp we usually go the propane route and believe me our water is very HOT.

Our only concern is that the water doesn't get as hot as I would like.


Most warm hot water problems are due to the water heater bypass valves being set incorrectly. New Pods usually come  set that way for some reason. Check that the two outer valves are open (handles parallel to the pipes) and the middle valve is closed (perpendicular to the pipe). The WH heats to 130F which is very hot. For faster recovery the WH can run on propane and electricity simultaneously.
