I have owned several other travel trailer brands over the years. They all have had a general operators manual for doing basic maintenance, or general instructions setting up/ taking down your TT in a user's manual.

We just bought a new 2026 R-Pod RP-185 last week. The shop tech was very thorough at pointing out all of the key things such as the location of the access panel in the belly storage you remove to get to the valve and hose for winterization. Additionally, he went over the 12V-only refrigerator which continuously is pulling power from the battery.

Would love the information the tech reviewed with us to be in a general owner's manual.

Forest River has an R-Pod Owners Guide app you can download to your smart phone. It has s a number of checklist items like for before you leave, setup, tear down, winterizing, etc. Where it falls short is trailer specific information like the location of the water pump and the water heater which are behind panels you have to unscrew to access.

Good luck with your new 185. I like that layout.
