Hi! I've acquired a 2014 RP 177. It looks adorable sitting in my driveway, but I am itching to get out on the road. It's still winterized, though, and I have been puzzling over manuals and forum posts to figure out the dewinterizing process. Just today, after three days of research, I finally found the water heater. It's under the bed! Thank you to the member who clued me in to looking there. Now to find the water pump. I hope to find it if I unscrew the panels under the sink and drawers, It's dropping to 30 degrees tonight so I guess I am lucky that I didn't succeed in de-winterizing it yesterday, as I had hoped.
 C'mon, Spring! |

30 degrees overnight won't hurt a thing. Yes, the water pump is under the kitchen cabinets. Left side, remove 4 screws. Dewinterizing really consists of a couple steps. Make sure the WH bypass is NOT set to bypass. Flush the system. Sanitize the system. Inspect and prepare the trailer for travel. Get comfortable. ------------- |

There is a great post under the mods and maintenance section of this forum which you may find helpful! Congrats and enjoy! In Kansas we are just now being able to dewinterize, but too cold and rainy to do much yet! ------------- FROGGY |

Keep asking those questions as there are many experienced podders on this forum. Bet you can't stump them! Enjoy your 177. We have for 6 years with ours. Welcome aboard! So are you Scandinavian or do you just like the word "hygge?" ------------- 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." |

Starting year 6 with our 177. The panel in front of the water pump is only held on by TINY screws that go into... VERY thin Luanne.. After a time or two those screws don't hold anything.... I put a piece of Velcro on both sides, glued a small piece of cloth that comes over the top (just enough to get a hold of.) I covered the screw holes with a small round piece of cork (found at local $ store.) Then used a coloured pencil to match the panel... Can't even tell how that panel is staying up there... :) Happy podding.
