I just got back from my first 3day camping trip with my new prod 179. After dinner we noticed some water in the middle drawer under the sink. It was obviously a leak. I had to take out the middle and lower drawer to get at the plumbing. The bottom drawer pulled out while pushing the drawer tabs but the middle drawer was impossible to get out due to drawer stop. Finally I took out the screws that attached it to the metal runner. (4 screws). Once inside I discover the drain plumbing needed tightening in the three connections. Also I noticed a small drip for both the hot and cold water lines when the were turned on. I wasn't sure what to do about that. Later after doing the dishes again I failed to see any more drips and wonder if it corrected itself. Anyone else experiencing these types of problems?

Your loose fittings are not uncommon. Seems like the FR assemblers are all weaklings or just don't care. And plumbing problems rarely fix themselves. Keep watching it.

I firmly believe if they worked on your pod early in the day things are good. If they were doing certain work towards the end of the day.......................it bears checking!

The wife and are taking our first trip with the pod in about a week. I think I'm going to take my tool box with us. We are only going to our property a few miles away to make it a test run with the new pod. Hopefully we don't have any problems.

As my mechanic is fond of saying, there's a lot shake, rattle, and roll going on. I've had to tighten up the pumbing fittings more than once. It's just part of ownership and routine maintenance. It's disappointing though when it happens on a new RV.
