I agree, its most likely the check valve. My 180 did the same exact thing. Camping world Chicago where I bought it replaced the water pump under warranty.]]> Wed, 01 May 2019 01:21:13 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12721&PID=123391#123391 Freshwater tank : Originally posted by TheBum Originally... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12721&PID=122902#122902 Author: furpod

That "couple of minutes" is after getting to the pump, which is typically under the bed. Depending on your mattress choice and any provisions you've made to make access easier, that could easily double the time.


"typically" the pump isn't under the bed.. but in the most popular model, the 179, it is. But yes, there may be time and effort involved in getting to the pump.

Took R-POD out for test run last weekend ran water pump for 4 days. Got home hooked up to city water, freshwater tank getting better not filling up but water still slowly getting into tank. So I will keep working check valve.

I went thru a year of this issue. Cycling is right answer, but it didn't work for me. I never could figure out why check valve was not working. Finally changed water pump and problem solved.]]> Wed, 03 Apr 2019 19:01:20 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12721&PID=122411#122411 Freshwater tank : You can replace just the valve,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12721&PID=122410#122410 Author: furpod

I think you can replace just the check valve, I'm not sure, but there's a good chance it's just stuck.  You may have already fixed it by filling the tank and using the pump.  Try hooking up to city water again and see if the tank still overflows.  If it does, the tank is full, so just turn the pump on (and city water off) and cycle the water off and on a few times and try again.

+1 to glue guy....I had the same thing only a very slow leak from the pump into the fresh water tank.  FR replaced it under warranty though I was told the pump itself is very inexpensive

It's most likely the check valve in the water pump that is stuck or clogged.

2018 R-POD179 while hooked on city water noticing freshwater tank filling up. Next thing water coming out overflow vent hole at freshwater fill area. Emptied tank then  filled freshwater tank through freshwater fill hole ran pump for couple minutes then drained tank. Filled tank  through city water hook up and freshwater tank refilling still. ]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2019 18:10:46 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12721&PID=122362#122362
