When you put the new plug in, it doesn't need to be "gorilla tight" - just finger tight will suffice.

I have a 2015 RP178 and the plug on mine is 1/2" MPT (male pipe thread)  You should be able to find something at your local hardware store or home improvement center.  

I know it's 1/2" MPT cause I was going to replace the plug with a valve, but after looking decided to just stay with the plug for now.

haven't had that exact problem, but I can see how the valve would be vulnerable. You should be able to find a replacement at a hardware store either in plastic or brass. Make sure all of the old valve is removed. If it got knocked off there may be part remaining in the fitting.

Hi Everyone! I am a new R-Pod owner. I just purchased a used 2014 171. I found that a few things are missing. One of which is the plug for the fresh water tank drain (on the bottom left corner of the tank). Has anyone replaced this before? It looks like the entire plug is missing.

Many thanks!
Sam
