Good afternoon
I have a 2021 rpod that has an external grill and next to it is a brass quick connect that is to be used for rinsing things down. The fitting is brass and similar to the hose snap coupler on a high pressure washer hose. I can't get it to snap in place. Any ideas, grease, steel wool to burnish the male part of the coupler, etc? Thanks for any ideas. ------------- 2021 Rpod 180 2006 Ridgeline

Try putting the point of a screwdriver in there and tapping it with the palm of your hand to break it loose. ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |

I always thought that was the LP feed for a grill. I dont have a coiled water line on my 2017. Guess i need a picture. ------------- Happy Traveling, Tom 2017 172pod 2011 F150 STX |

There is an LP connection in addition to the water connection. I would rather have an outdoor shower but thats what it has..
The trailer is at the storage lot or I would have a picture. In the future I will take a picture of all four sides for reference. ------------- 2021 Rpod 180 2006 Ridgeline

The outdoor high pressure water connection was added in the 2019 (or 2020) model year. And yes, sticking a screwdriver in it is the fix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=069dH79h7eg ------------- 2017 F150 XLT SuperCab 2020 rPod 180 |

Thanks for the UTube, it explains exactly how to fix it, most likely being new it is airlocked. ------------- 2021 Rpod 180 2006 Ridgeline

Personally, I've never used the shower and would not miss it. I would likely have more use for a spray port like yours instead. The only times it gets turned on are for winterizing and de-winterizing. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |
