   Hello to Everyone,
We are brand new members of the R-Pod nation! 
We bought our 2015 RP-177 back in March and have been forlornly watching it sit in the driveway as the weather here has not been the greatest!

Yesterday I was out getting it ready to go on our first trip with it and was having trouble with the water pump.

Fresh water was full, pump was running, no water was coming out just heard bubbling and gurgling and an occasional spit of water. 
I got on here and searched for trouble shooting ideas and found the perfect solution! 

Turns out that I had the 3 main valves in the right position but forgot to check the one that goes to the open line for winterizing. 

Just wanted to say thanks to all who have posted those great responses!

Looking forward to "stealing" some of the great Pod mod that are on here!
