All, the Ohio based company we bought our rPod from failed to deliver if with the water tank plug?!  I was going to do the overnight rinse, sanitize, and flush but that didn't happen. Luckily our 3 years old came down with a fever so we're ok putting our first voyage on hold, but does anyone know off-hand what size it is? I can run down to the hardware store and get one? Hopefully. |

It is 1/2 inch, get nylon or plastic, not metal. Your other option, which some have done is to get a 1/2 inch plastic valve, that way you can screw it into the tank and open and close the lever to drain instead of inserting/re-inserting every time you drain with the possibility of losing the plug. I just use the plug, only drain my water 1x/year when winterizing. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

many owners have reported finding them in the WH compartment, or a kitchen drawer..

I went with the 1/2" NPT valve, modified it a bit to shorten length, put the plug in safe place. Drains with flip of lever. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |
