Just became an R-pod owner. 171 model. Thanks for listening, I'm sure I will have much to share and ask about. Got something already. Mine was second hand, 2016, is there some way to get an owners manual? Somebody tell me how to get free digital tv. I think you have to scan, but I don't know how. One more question (for now) is it 30AMP or 50?

30 amp, not sure of the digital tv and the Forest River owner's manual (if you get one) gives you just enough info to know what questions to ask and what research to do on this forum.  There is not a specific RPOD manual.  This link in the forum will give much more info!

For digital over-the-air TV, you need to make sure the antenna booster is on (the button next to the cable outlet on the wall; an LED will glow when it's on), the TV is set to Air, and you perform a channel scan. The latter two require you to go into the TV menus; here's a link to the TV manual:

I found the FR manual to be misleading for the R-Pod.  We also have a LaCrosse  and the same manual came with it.  You will be better served in my opinion to look for manuals specific to your model on line or by asking on this forum.

There is a manual that has been created on this forum.  Go forth and find a post by Techntrek.....you'll find the link in his signature.  Also, as you read through the forum you'll find far more information than you could ever hope to find in a generic manual.  Good hunting!

Also...congrats on the purchase and welcome to the group.

A little cautionary note -

... and remember to turn it 'off' when done. It's a slow but steady battery killer if the battery is not being charged.
