Good.  Once you get them working inspect carefully for leaks, especially at all the fittings and fixtures. Do the same in the spring when you de-winterize. You don't want water damage in an rPod, that can destroy a trailer very quickly. ]]> Mon, 19 Oct 2020 10:52:31 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14134&PID=137481#137481 Frozen R Pod : Thanks for the reply I have all... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14134&PID=137480#137480 Author: steandstel

Yikes, and it doesn't look like its going to warm up much anytime soon where you are. Hopefully leaving the furnace on for awhile has helped. Maybe take a heat gun on low or a hair dryer and try to warm up the plumbing lines where you suspect them to be frozen? You could also try connecting your water supply line to a hot water source and seeing if that helps get things thawed out. ]]> Mon, 19 Oct 2020 08:02:02 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14134&PID=137475#137475 Frozen R Pod : I dawdled and did not winterized... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14134&PID=137464#137464 Author: steandstel

I dawdled and did not winterized my 171, I had emptied the hot water tank removed the anode and the 2 lower drains though.  I have the heater on and got cold water lines working to my kitchen sink and outside shower 

No hot water taps or toilet flush or sink / shower though - I have switched the hot water tank bypass on 

Any advice appreciated
