Topic: New Podder with Maint. ?'s Posted: 16 Oct 2013 at 12:43pm |
Hello R-Pod people. My wife and I became new grandparents two weeks ago and new Podders yesterday.
We bought a used 2010 R-177. No owner's manual, so I need you wisdom.
Looking from the inside of the A/C, I don't see any filters. Where to buy some and how do they insert? In the middle is a door (slide) that lets in more or less air, it does no have a filter.
Where can I get some Frog stickers?
Thank you for your help.
John

The red circles are where your filters are, I'm sure they are there you just might not see them. The middle is just for more air flow.
For Frog Stickers or filters if you happen to need them please contact....

I assure you that the manual that came with my r-pod is not at all useful. Its very generic and speaks only to generalities. Specifics such as 'where is the water pump located' or 'what size are the lug nuts' or a wiring guide are not to be found. This lack of detail (and my criticism) isn't specific to r-pods, this is common to most all travel trailers.

The filters are permanent. You remove them, wash them with soap and water and then replace them.

I shined a flashlight up in the groves where they are suppose to be. I don't see any filters. All I see is wires and tubing.
I called Lindsay Kring Parts Administrator 574-642-3119 twice and left her a message to call me back.

Here you can see where your AC filters are.

^ this.
2nd post has the number to call to order them.
However I think I would contact who I bought the Pod from and ask them where the filters are. They are rather expensive and I would not want to buy a set if I didn't have to.

These comments all seem to be related to a Dometic AC. My 2010 173 came with a Coleman unit and it is set up entirely differently.
