Agree. Better safe then sorry. A little rink out of the tank could save a lot!]]> Sat, 04 Jul 2015 07:36:28 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6504&PID=62815#62815 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6504&PID=62431#62431 Author: Marx

Originally posted by alanebell thanks! I made it from Bakersfield without incident. Not to much difficulty.

If I hook up to city water is that bypassing my water tank? Or is it going to fill the tank at the same time as giving me water while hooked up? Not sure if I need to manually fill via the hole above the city hook up? Thanks Alan

Welcome aboard!  The city water line is a direct connection and will not go into the tank.  You will have to fill the tank if you want to pump from it.  The tank is more for being off the grid.  I would suggest a clean out of the tank prior to using for your purposes.  I just don't trust the dealerships completely.

Welcome, Alan.  I hope you'll enjoy your podding experience as much as we do!    I find it very easy to pull with the tanks empty.  ]]> Sat, 27 Jun 2015 12:15:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6504&PID=62414#62414 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6504&PID=62410#62410 Author: dsnbm

Congratulations, We are also new R-pod owners. Brand new R-pod, everything works when hooked up to the car but when we just plug into electricity at home nothing works. Do we need the battery in place and hooked up for the electricity to work?

Hello,

Going to pick up my used 2013 172 today. Never pulled a trailer before. After setting up the Honda Odessy with a new hitch and Transmission cooler and a brake controller I think I am ready.

Feeling a bit nervous but I suppose that makes sense after all.

So far I have only been lurking on this forum and it's been a big help.

Thanks

Alan E Bell
