We just completed a 1,500 mile hike each way from Maryland to Oklahoma and back.  Early October drove northern route up through West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri.  South route in November via Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia. Going through the mountains on the north route is scenic, green, but steeper grade due to the mountains.  Towing with a 15 yo V-6, I babied it on the ascents, of course moving over to the truck lane up the mountains.  On the southern route, it was more comfortable slow grade (not as steep as the north route).  Despite the 75 mph speed limit, i stayed below 65 mph. The truck would go faster, I've read so much about tires exploding I just tried to stay out of everyone's way.  I have 2 yo Goodyear Endurance tires. Previous owner of my RPOD blew the fender half off (steel fender) with an exploding tire.]]> Thu, 13 Nov 2025 12:30:41 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16198&PID=155048#155048 Shake Down Trip 2024 RPOD 190C : Yes, I use a blue ox track pro.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16198&PID=154560#154560 Author: Skullfish

Yes, I use a blue ox track pro. I did get it adjusted after the first row, the dealership that installed it did the adjustment for free. We now have it dialed in.]]> Mon, 26 May 2025 20:18:54 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16198&PID=154560#154560 Shake Down Trip 2024 RPOD 190C : It would ignite and run on propane,... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16198&PID=154559#154559 Author: Skullfish

It would ignite and run on propane, but after about 3 minutes it would shut off, water never heated up.]]> Mon, 26 May 2025 20:17:17 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16198&PID=154559#154559 Shake Down Trip 2024 RPOD 190C : Are you using a weight distribution... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16198&PID=154558#154558 Author: gpokluda

Are you using a weight distribution hitch? Just curious. Nothing to do with the hot water heater.]]> Mon, 26 May 2025 20:00:34 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16198&PID=154558#154558 Shake Down Trip 2024 RPOD 190C : Great to hear!

Great to hear!  Let us know what the issue was with the hot water heater.  Did it function on either propane or 120 or not at all?]]> Mon, 26 May 2025 18:10:55 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16198&PID=154556#154556 Shake Down Trip 2024 RPOD 190C : We completed our first outing... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16198&PID=154552#154552 Author: Skullfish

We completed our first outing in our new 2024 RPOD 190C.  We went north to the cooler temps of Prescott National Forest and stayed at Lynx Lake Campground.  

Great site with good views, clean bathrooms and Potable water.  The water level in the lake was low due to a repair at the Dam, but fish were still biting.

The first trip went well, with only the hot water heater not working correctly, which it is still under warranty so that should be fixed next week.

I thought the Rpod towed great.

Looking forward to our next trip in Oak Creek Canyon.
