Just plug your pod into a household outlet (you may need an adapter).  The charger is automatic.  Once the battery is charged the charger becomes a trickle charger to maintain the battery.

Also make sure the battery is hooked up to the pod, just in case you have a disconnect switch, or have the battery disconnected.

Not on the 179. It is behind the breaker panel, but the breaker panel is under the pantry.

In my 177 it's on the left side under the dinette cushion, and looks like this. The battery charger is in the lower section with the long slots openings

It is probably not rated for maximum output for a long time. You are better off using the WFCO battery charger, that comes in the trailer.
