   Hi
We are Debbie and Larry and just picked up our new 2017 RPOD 179. At first glance, everything was fine, but we've had a few problems and haven't camped yet. We are newbies to trailer camping.

1.) My Laptop connects with the DVI connection, but I'm trying to connect an IPOD with the USB...has anyone done this? Or do you know which devices can be used with the USB?

some other problems:

2.) A couple of screws have fallen out of the window shades...the walls appear to be cardboard, so what is best way to secure them?

3.) I'm not sure how to drain the fresh water tank. The dealer filled the tank, but I want to replace the water with filtered water. Do I use the low-point H and C water drains or the plug under the trailer? 

Thank you for any insight and we look forward to attending a rally or two.

Debbie

	The drain is just a cap which you unscrew at the bottom of the tank (under the trailer). I replaced mine with on of these: CAMCO RV Drain Valve 3/8" or 1/2" Male NPT

	From what I remember on my 183g the USB is strictly charging for the ipod or your phone, ebook etc. In order to hook the ipod to the stereo you need a 3.5mm cable male on each end. Plug one into the headphone jack on your ipod the other end in the aux plug on the stereo then put stereo to aux output.

	Just noticed it was for the TV and not the stereo. (stereo has a USB also) I have never used my TV so not sure of the USB on it, but the above is how i plug my ipod to listen through the speakers of the r-pod. As for the TV, if you plug into it try hitting the source/output button on the remote to switch to USB setting.??? http://www.asaelectronics.com/downloads/dl/file/id/810/je1914_owners_manual.pdf There is a link for the manual, The USB on the TV only recognizes USB thumb drives with JPG pictures or MP3 filers for music. Again the above method for plugging in your ipod to listen through the stereo. Hope this helps.

	Thanks - the radio usb worked fine - I was just trying to play video on TV with IPOD...I'll try plugging in extra drive with mp4's and see if that works.

	I also found that the USB is for connectivity, not for charging. It just doesn't supply the amperage necessary to charge an iPhone (let alone an iPad).
