    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.rpod-owners.com/member_profile.asp?PF=10677" rel="nofollow">shirlgirl</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 14068<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 29 Sep 2020 at 10:51am<br /><br />Hi Everyone!<div>I'm a new owner of a used 2015 178 r-pod and have a question about the water pump constantly running. I use it off battery and propane, pressurized the water system, but the pump keeps running every few minutes. So I turned it off unless using water. I checked the water filter but it looks clean and undamaged. Then I noticed a disconnected hose but I couldn't see any place to connect it. I drove on a rocky dirt road so maybe it vibrated loose but I can't find anyplace to re-attach it.&nbsp;<img src="uploads/10677/water%20pump%20hose.jpg" height="1224" width="1632" border="0" />I included a photo and noted hose with yellow. Is this normal?</div><div>Thank you!</div><div>-shirley</div>]]>
