Funny you should have that problem. Our sink drain was never hooked up!!! The cold water line was also loose. Saw that second trip out. The sink drain was fixed by the dealer. Our third week out everything worked fine.

Our dealer is quite good and that allows for the lack of problems with ours I guess. Ours was set up with everyting running when we got there to pick it up, and we got a good walk through. I wish they were a little closer...

This is true when I was first out of the service I used to make a little extra money setting up Motorcycles at my friends Suzuki Shop. Those things used to come in crates in about 3 to 4 pieces. I had to put them together and torq everything to make sure everything was up to spec so that the new owner did not loose a wheel going down the road. It took about 3 hours on average to set each one up and and all came with a check list from the factory that had to be signed off on and returned to get the prep allowance. I am thinking that things like plumbing connections would be on the checklist because all the jostling around in shipping.

I'm not surprised to hear about the drain connections, I found mine were loose under the sink and under the shower.

The thing everyone has to remember is the manufacturer of ALL vehicles, uses dealers to sell and service the product. When there are serious or substantial problems with the product it almost always indicates a poor dealer. The dealer of cars,trucks,tractors rv"s, etc. all are given a prep allowance to check everything before sale. The better dealers will also give you a thorough walk thru. Mine was over 2 hours, everything was activated, and they even set the dome up and helped me take it down. IMHO, yes there are manufacturer problems but, you always start at the dealer level.

OK... good to know. The back of the fridge says "Do not run refrigerator on electricy and propane simultaneously" or something to that effect, so I thought maybe propane won't go on while the fridge was plugged in.
Hope I don't end up in the same boat as McLagman this weekend. We found out that all our sink drain connections had never been tightened when water came dripping out of the slide out. Electonic connectors were also loose on the fridge when we first checked. Hope there are no surprises under the shower when we use that for the first time, but I'll open it up to check today. Is this normal? Our neighbour across the street had similar problems with his big trailer as well.

Pod Squad, as others have said, it should run on any mode no matter what sources are available. Often just before leaving for a trip I'll switch mine from AC to propane before unplugging. If this isn't the case for yours you may need the control board replaced.
McLagman, sorry to hear of your troubles. Is yours a 2012? I wonder if they sped up production times and this is the result. Also, what model do you have?

Just an update.
I have used my Rpod twice. The first night in my rpod? Electrical problems and I had to tow it in to be fixed. They said fuses were blown. My second time to use it? The fridge won't light. I am out camping, I try everything the tech guy says and the only thing he can come up with is to tow it to a dealer for warranty service. $14,500, two nights in Rpod and two times towing it back to the dealer for warranty work. It's bullsh*t. You dream about Rpod and save up you money and buy one? Lemons. It never worked right one stinking night. I repeat: I paid good money for a new Rpod and it has not worked right one night at all. Next step: call a lawyer.
