Slider? What model of Rpod has a pocket door?]]> Thu, 17 Sep 2026 14:33:41 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16502&PID=155704#155704 Podmods, Maintenance, Tips and Tricks : Bathroom pocket door repair? https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16502&PID=155703#155703 Author: Jackash

Somehow one of the screws has come out of the top of the door holding it to the slider.   How the heck do I get the pocket door out to put a new screw in?  ANY advice/suggestions appreciated.  ]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2026 23:15:16 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16502&PID=155703#155703 Podmods, Maintenance, Tips and Tricks : Shower head upgrade https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16501&PID=155702#155702 Author: RpodRaver

Not saying that better shower heads are not an option, but the pressure coming out of the shower head is less an issue with the shower head, and more to do with the pressure delivered to it.

Before you swap out your shower head, first check to see if the filter in the fitting to the head is clogged with debris left over from manufacturing. 

If that is OK, then remove the head from the hose and check to see if you're getting a strong stream straight out of the hose.

If it's still weak, then go to the pressure pump and check the inline filter and clean it out.

I bet that will at least fix the pressure issue. Then go find yourself a better shower head.

We are considering upgrading the handheld shower head kit in our 2022 Hood River 196. The OEM unit does not put out much pressure at all, unless it’s left hanging by the floor pan. This is true both while boondocking, and on city/park water. It’s not a hard water issue either.   That’s not a problem where we live, and we haven’t used city/park water enough in hard water areas for it to cause a problem.

I’d like to know of anyone has found a head/hose that:

1. Has better pressure (I understand that more pressure may necessitate restricted volume).
2. Has a longer hose than the factory unit. This is a secondary concern to the desire for more spray pressure.

I appreciate your feedback. ]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2026 03:17:43 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16501&PID=155700#155700 I need HELP!!! : Mounting Solar Panels https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16499&PID=155699#155699 Author: CDS

Thanks for your input.  I appreciate your thoughts.  I'm really not too concerned with efficiency.  I basically just want to keep my batteries topped off for occasionally running the heater, exhaust fan, and a couple of lights.  In my experience, flat on the roof is just fine for that.  On a cloudy rainy day even with partial shade, I'm topped off in my Bushwhacker by 10-11 AM.  My main concern as i said is does that tape route work -that is does it hold and does it damage the roof of the rPod specifically?  Also since i usually don't stay around camp all day, I suspect unattached, easy to snatch solar panels would be too much of a temptation.  Sorry in advance for my cynicism.   < ="chrome-extension://hkflippjghmgogabcfmijhamoimhapkh/s/page.js" id="_70b67246-83ce-4746-a80c-5a21af18c46e" isturnedoff="false" randuuid="19ed6008-9b87-4ac0-bb45-2bc005e0ec3c" isgaming="undefined" ="text/" mc_processed="1">]]> Sun, 13 Sep 2026 19:25:02 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16499&PID=155699#155699 I need HELP!!! : Mounting Solar Panels https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16499&PID=155698#155698 Author: GlueGuy

I will also add that putting solar panels on the roof is not always (or even frequently) the best place to put solar panels because the Rpod will often be parked in the shade.

Many people have found that having them on a longer cord, and placing them away from the trailer (and facing the sun) is a more optimal way to do solar.
