The owners manual is very limited. MAK SURE you hold on to the equipment checklist. It has all your model numbers of the equipment. I made my own manual or lack of manual was worthless. See what you get and if does not comer everything let me know. I have operating instructions on most items. ]]> Mon, 12 Mar 2018 19:01:30 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11208&PID=105475#105475 New Pod Setup : Thanks everyone for the helpful... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11208&PID=105245#105245 Author: babyboogerfamily

Just a heads up too, after reading some posts on here about the water/waste tanks I checked the screw fasteners holding the tanks up and found most of mine weren't snugged up and definitely looked unsafe.  Returned to the dealer and they tightened them up and replaced a couple of them.  I would also do a test run at home of the complete water system (sinks, shower, toilet), range, and see if refrigerator works all three ways (hooked up to power, 12volt, and propane).  When we got ours I found out our dealer did a less than exemplary job at prepping ours (kitchen faucet leaked, water lines hadn't been flushed of anti-freeze, hot water tank valve not set to summer setting, refrigerator didn't work on propane).  Also this site is a wealth of information for solving problems when they come up so having access to it when first starting out camping is a plus.  You can also check Youtube, there are quite a few videos on Rpod features and operations.]]> Thu, 08 Mar 2018 11:48:50 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11208&PID=105236#105236 New Pod Setup : The good thing is that if you... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11208&PID=105202#105202 Author: lostagain

The good thing is that if you are not already pretty "handy" you'll quickly learn to be.  Welcome and enjoy your Pod.]]> Wed, 07 Mar 2018 12:55:05 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11208&PID=105202#105202 New Pod Setup : Construction dust in hidden places;... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11208&PID=105198#105198 Author: crw8sr

Construction dust in hidden places; remove the panels that you can and vacuum everywhere!
Loose drain fittings.
Flush and drain water tank and water heater.  Supposedly done at the dealer but I did it anyway.

Hit the road and ENJOY!

For the initial, other than the walk thru with dealer. Look for missing and lose hardware and things, bring it to dealers attention, any obvious damage, make sure your dealer does a good prep. Most important make sure your are ready and capable to tow. Your tow vehicle is ready. Other things will come out as you use trailer, fix them when they need. After I got mine home I found considerable construction debris behind panels, so I cleaned it. I also make sure fasteners are tight, etc. Happy Trails.]]> Wed, 07 Mar 2018 09:14:18 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11208&PID=105194#105194 New Pod Setup : Nice!

Mostly "teething" issues.We found little tiny bits of plastic or something in the water pipes. They clogged the strainer in the kitchen sink a couple of times when we first used it. Also, it took a short wait (less than a minute) for the propane to reach the burner on the stove and the water heater.

Did you get a walk though with the dealer? Ours was very thorough, and we watched as they went through every single switch and compartment with us. This also included attaching/detaching the WDH.

Hello,

Our rPod is being delivered new from out of state.  Other than what's clearly spelled out in the owners manual, what should I expect when gearing it up for real-time use for our first trip?


Thanks,
