Any suggestions for a product to remove tree sap from the fiberglass?

Suggestions: Goo Gone or WD-40.

I haven't test on R-Pod gel coat, but might (should) work. Hot water might work too.

Just suggestions.

Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks!

If you're still having problems, maybe try olive oil. It works getting tree sap off dog paws! :)

When I had my pop-up, I used regular hand sanitizer. Works amazingly. I haven't tried it on the pod but assume it wouldn't damage the coating. Might try on a small inconspicuous spot first.

Apple cider vinegar removes anything. I have even used it to remove rust and varnish from a motorcycle

Tank and it is environmentally safe!
