Mine is the center control on the outside at the top of the unit, right above the door. It will give a LCD readout, number 9 being the coldest setting.

1. Only at the start of the camping season. 2. To drain the fresh water tank you would use the drain on the bottom, but that is only necessary at the end of the season when you winterize. 3. Yes, any cheap $12 digital voltmeter will be fine. Make sure it is set to AC mode (look for the ~ sign) in a range that is more than 120 volts. Usually that setting will be 200. Just make sure it is between 110 and 128 volts. Be careful if it is near those limits. Lately I've just been using my Kill-A-Watt meter, and I leave it plugged in inside the pod during the stay to keep an eye on the voltage. |

Nice thread.
I just brought home our 178 on Monday and have lots of questions, coming from a Pop-up with few amenities to this luxury suite on wheels.
1. On the checklist, it mentions sanitizing the fresh water tank. Does this have to be done with every trip? I'm not crazy about handling bleach and keeping it in the pod...bad experience when I was a kid.
2. I cannot figure out how to correctly empty the fresh water tank. The owners manual has a picture of some valve, however I could find nothing like that on my pod. There appears to be a drain on the bottom of the white tank that is towards the back (bottom) of the pod....is that what I use?
3. A few years ago we were camping in Saco, ME and our neighbors burned out their electrical system just by plugging into the campground power. I assume that the directive "Test Shore Power with Volt Meter" is to prevent this....I can purchase one...any recommendations, and what do I look for as far as red flags when I test it?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this!
We're currently camping for the first time now, picked up our rpod 178 Friday in Ontario. We'll go back home through the States to Nova Scotia. Lots to learn, and questions adding up too. |

I just went outside to "read" my R-Pod tires.
Markings on tires: Mudstar Radial M/T LT 235/75 R15 As I mentioned, my R-Pod came with these tires. When I was buying, I asked the dealer why the rig had such big tires. He gave a non-answer, but I came to realize it was for the extra height they provided. |

The Hood River edition (made in Oregon) of the 2012 R-Pod came with oversize tires which, in my case, at least, have added enough ground clearance that I've not had any problems.
We've put on many thousands miles, been in many situations, never a problem. Tom Wagner 2012 R-Pod 177 2003 Toyota Sienna |
