Agree with GlueGuy. Also check/clean out the pre filter on the pump. If this has a lot of gunk, very likely the check valve has gunk allowing the city water to leak past into the tank.]]> Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:52:10 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16484&PID=155670#155670 I need HELP!!! : Water Issue https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16484&PID=155669#155669 Author: GlueGuy

Most likely the check valve in the internal water pump is leaking. It may have some "gunk" in it, or it may be defective. Run the water pump for a while, then re-connect the city connection to see if you've dislodged any of the gunk.]]> Wed, 12 Aug 2026 10:46:54 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16484&PID=155669#155669 Reviews and General Information : Interesting battery analysis https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15057&PID=155668#155668 Author: BeeDee

when we recently purchased our 2021 Rpod 192 it was pre wired for solar. We had the dealer install a solar panel on the roof and they also installed the solar charger on the wall next to the entrance door. The charger has a menu that allows for a change that you can switch to the type of battery installed including Lithium. We currently have a 12v acid type battery but I am considering a change to lithium, in which case I will just go into the menu setting on the charger and make the battery selection change, easy!]]> Tue, 11 Aug 2026 17:52:48 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15057&PID=155668#155668 I need HELP!!! : Water Issue https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16484&PID=155667#155667 Author: BeeDee

Hi folks,

new member here with a problem and looking for insight. We have recently purchased a 2021 rpod 192.

On our first camping trip with this trailer I had an issue with water leaking or overflowing. We travelled to our first camp site with 1/3 full fresh water tank. After getting to our site we hooked up the connection to the city water supply line. We were there for 2 nights with no issues. On the third day we travelled to our next camp site, again with still 1/3 full fresh water tank. On arrival we again hooked up to city water supply. After 3 days we woke up to start packing up and heading home. As I was making my way around the trailer to start disconnecting thinks I heard running water and noticed that the filler cap for the fresh water tank was leaking. Checking the holding tank monitor I noticed that the grey water tank was full. Not surprised as I had not drained it since day one. I also noticed that the fresh water tank was now full as well even though I had not filled it since we had originally set off at 1/3 full. I could hear water running still and after investigation I found water leaking into the pass through storage area from somewhere above. I turned off the water supply for the city water connection and pulled the drain valve for the grey water to drain some of it out and then mopped up the water in the pass through storage area with towels.

Now as far as I know the fresh water and grey water systems are separate so my questions are; how did my fresh water tank get filled to overflowing? Is it possible that the grey water tank being full somehow back filled the fresh water tank? If so I now have a contaminated fresh water tank! I have bought some tank cleaning solution and am about to treat the fresh water tank and flush the entire system as best I can but I am struggling to understand how this could have happened. Any insight would be appreciated.

Cheers

The motor on my Dometic 9100 awning clicks when the awning switch is depressed but doe snot move the awning. I checked the wiring connector near the motor and it was showing 13.6V when the switch is depressed. This means the motor is bad. The replacement OEM motors are around $700 while aftermarket ones are around $124. Do any of you have experience or recommendations with the aftermarket motors?

Thanks,

Dan

I still have a window for the door of an RPod (never opened). Maybe newer models have a window, mind didn't, but I never got to it!! Free for the taking if anyone is interested.

I put up a hanging rack (a closet rod and two sockets above toilet to outside wall, good storage and can be moved to the side to use toilet (I don't use mine much as I always stop where there are facilities).]]> Thu, 06 Aug 2026 09:18:33 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16208&PID=155664#155664 Podmods, Maintenance, Tips and Tricks : axle stuff https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16235&PID=155663#155663 Author: Ericjump

I just replaced my axle, Lipper (original axle manufacturer) has a 10 year warranty (but only if you are the original owner)! I sourced purchased and installed a new axle (the problem was the tire was hitting the fender. After getting some bad advice I replaced the axle. It turns out that same problem with new axle. The REAL problem was not the axle but that the wall outside the frame rails was sagging. The fix was to install supports under the outside wall (Slideout side) and move the fender up about an inch. Therefore I now have used (8 years and very little use) Lippert axle, and brakes for sale! New one cost me $1100.00 will sell used one for $500.00.
I still have the pallets the new one came on and will ship (Split the shipping cost with you.

The best thing for me about a small prPod like a 177 is that it fits everywhere.

Mostly I camp during the week and mostly in the off season.

I now avoid National Parks. I have been to 90% of them.

I rarely make reservations for the rPod but I do make them for the big trailer which is 29 feet.
