Hi:: I'm a long time R-pod 151 owner and am looking at upgrading to a 177 or 178. My only concern is the position of the kitchen sink aka water and the position of the bed. Have owners had any problems with a wet bed after using the sink(washing dishes, veggies etc) and if so any modifications I can do to keep seepage off the bed?

| We have the 182G and bunks in the rear. No water issues from sink for me, but then every thing I wash goes to the right. I've covered the burners with a cutting board, leave a drying mat on board. Don't see this to be a problem. |

We have a 177 and have had no problem with water, when the slide is out the sink is in front of you and you would be getting wet first.

| I have a 178 purchased in May and we've done a few trips, no problem with water splashing on the bed, always bumped out. I do wish the faucet would swivel because it sort of gets in the way. |

| We have a 2015 178. Ours swivels and no water issues. But it you get sloppy it could happen. |

| Hey thanks! I wonder if they just tightened mine down too tight at the factory. |

 Thanks. I will check for a swivel faucet. Thanks for your replies. I'm thinking to use a nice looking plastic cloth on the edge of the bed for the first while until I find my way around the trailer. In the rpod151 I seemed to get water around the sink every time I used it. I'm off tomorrow to make a final decision on which model to take home. ------------- S&C 2015 R-POD 179 2010 Toyota Highlander |

| Our 2011 182G kitchen faucet swivels. |

| I can comment about water around the sink, but that is because my hands are wet when I turn off the faucet. I started leaving a rolled up strip of paper towels behind the faucet to catch the dribbles from my hand. |

Likewise, we leave a sponge below each valve handle to catch drips, which helps with about 90% of the mess. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
