We're like jato. Our dealer included a complementary "start kit". It had a 10' hose, and a short carrier that goes under the batteries up front. We've since added a rhino hose and longer carrier that goes back behind the gray water tank.]]> Mon, 10 Sep 2018 20:22:36 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=114846#114846 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=114844#114844 Author: Shane

When we got our 177 six plus years ago we also were given a "complimentary starter kit" which included a basic sewer hose.  After a couple years we upgraded to a Rhino Hose and have used it a fair amount in the past 4 plus years, works great.

+1. The second time I used the complimentary hose, it sprung a leak. Our Rhino hose has been going strong for over a year of camping on average once a month.]]> Thu, 30 Nov 2017 13:34:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102531#102531 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102529#102529 Author: Richand Cindy

The only "loose" items supplied by FR is the propane tank and the shore power AC connector.  Most dealers will throw in a battery and fill the propane tank.  Some dealers will provide a welcome package that includes sewer connection.  However these are all pretty cheap and its better to just go on Amazon and buy better quality items that will hold up.  For the sewer line you definitely will want a longer tube (2 10 foot are perfect but only one will fit in the outside storage) and a clear elbow to be able to know when the tanks are clean.  Since the tanks are hard to clean I would recommend a clear elbow that has a backflow water attachment.  ]]> Thu, 30 Nov 2017 12:55:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102529#102529 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102527#102527 Author: GlueGuy

Our dealer provided a starter kit that included the sewer hose, water hose, power connector adapter, some bio-friendly tablets for the black water tank, and (I think) a package of RV TP.

The sewer hose is kind of short, but we're still using it. The water hose leaked at the fitting the 2nd time we used it; we replaced it with a better quality one.

Thanks everybody! Good point about probably replacing the free one in short order. I'll be shopping around for a hose. I got a few months until I'll need one. ]]> Thu, 30 Nov 2017 11:29:29 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102526#102526 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102524#102524 Author: Larry-D

Normally I would purchase from Amazon or E-trailer but we were in a hurry to go camping after we got the pod so we went to Wal-Mart since it was less than a mile from the house.]]> Thu, 30 Nov 2017 09:40:11 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102523#102523 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102522#102522 Author: Larry-D

The one we got with the starter kit is very short and I only use where the campground only has a dump station.
Otherwise I use a better one that we purchased separately from Walmart ]]> Thu, 30 Nov 2017 09:07:46 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102521#102521 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102520#102520 Author: StephenH

We had an allowance, in part from not taking the dealer's battery since we supplied our own dual 6V batteries. We purchased our own hose along with other accessories we thought we would need or find useful. It turns out that the hose I purchased was too long for the carrier. It got stored and I got a shorter one that I used until I recently replaced the really short carrier with my custom built carrier (see my mods).]]> Thu, 30 Nov 2017 08:31:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102520#102520 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102519#102519 Author: Keith-N-Dar

Ours came in a 5 Gal. plastic pail and was under the dinette seat.  We used the supplied hose for the first year then got one more suited to our needs.

Our 180 didn't come with a sewer hose,
but our dealer provided a 'complimentary' preassembled 'kit'
in a 5 gallon bucket that included a such items a short water hose,
roll of tp, and very basic sewage hose.
Which you'll end up upgrading anyway.]]> Thu, 30 Nov 2017 06:34:04 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102516#102516 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102515#102515 Author: RobnCari

Dealer did a good job showing us everything and mounting WDH and brake box. Not pushy about extended warranty (I believe they are barely legal scams)nor did they try to get us to finance (we payed cash). When he showed us the sewer hose storage it was empty. When questioned I was informed I had to supply a hose. R-pods don't come with a hose? Does anybody know if this is correct?]]> Thu, 30 Nov 2017 02:53:30 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10965&PID=102515#102515
