Welcome.

Definitely dry the floor out, water damage to the floor of an rpod can be fatal. Get a wood moisture meter, about $30 on Amazon, and probe any suspect areas. Very handy tool to have around.]]> Fri, 07 May 2021 07:03:12 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14616&PID=142331#142331 New r-podders here. : Welcome, and glad you're... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14616&PID=142315#142315 Author: Dirt Sifter

Welcome, and glad you're not put off by the first bad experience but took the bull by the horns, located the problem, and fixed it yourself. You're off to a great start. Be safe, have fun!

Probably would be a good idea to run a dehumidifier for a day inside your 190 for a day.  Open up the areas by the pump and where the water was on the floor.

If you are handy and have access to a decent air compressor you may want to think about blowing the water lines out next fall (but lets enjoy the camping season nowBig smile).  Welcome to your 24/7 live owners manual.  Hope you make some great memories with your 190 this year as you travel across this blessed country.

Hi everyone!
We just bought a 2019 r-pod 190 about 2 weeks ago.  We are finally getting ready to use it for the first time. I figured I would join the group in case there are any issues that we should keep a lookout for.  Thanks in advance to all of you. Wink
We already did run into 1 small issue.  Seems that the previous owners didn't quite winterize correctly last winter and the hose connection for the outdoor kitchen froze and cracked the PVC connection.
Just wondered if anyone else had this issue?  It was a fairly quick fix once I found the source (and a lot of water clean up).  I found it while flushing the fresh water tank in preparation for our first outing.  As soon as I turned on the water pump, i started seeing water flowing from under the bed behind the bathroom.  Made my heart sink at first as I or coarse feared the worst.  Luckily it was a simple $5 PVC replacement and a couple very wet towels and a wet/dry vac session Ouch.
Looks like there was a bit of water left in the connection last winter. Completely split that old PVC and then the pump blew it off where the crack was.
Anyway, really looking forward to my wife and I getting a lot use out of this trailer.  It's small, but perfect for us Big smile
