Hi guys,

I am trying to find a plumbing diagram for the Rpod (2016 178 specifically if it varies between models)

just want to have a better understanding of the plumbing system.

Thanks

I don't know that a diagram exists, at least officially. Is there something in particular that you're looking for? The whole system is very small and logical.

Hey TT, I am mostly looking for info. on the low point drains, as well as the black water tank flush.

I *think* I have a basic understanding of the city water/fresh water connection, water pump, hot water tank connection etc. but wanted to have a more complete understanding to prepare down the road in case.

For the low point drains, which lines are they hooked up to? trying to understand the winterization part a bit better.

Also, I had trouble using the black water tank flush somehow, even after inspecting the check valve (took part and seemed fine to me), but somehow the flow is minimal going to the black water tank.

Hello Renhui,

Low point drains are just that. There should be one on the cold water lines and another on the hot water lines. You should see two caps under the trailer. They are literally the low point of the plumbing system (with the exception of the line going to the fresh water tank.
