Funny how some of the freshwater tanks behind the axle where mine is in front of it so it pulls a lot better with water in it 😎

Our 173 also has the water tank in front of the axle. We usually tow with about 5 gallons and fill up at our destination. I will use the standard Campco water filter on the incoming line. I am very careful about cleaning the tank prior to use and keeping it clean. I flush it and all piping with clean water and then again with clean water and baking soda. this helps get rid of the plastic taste. I soak all of my hoses, pressure regulators, hose fittings , and any water use hardware in a 5 gallon sheetrock bucket with light chlorox before we head out. A clear water rinse removes any chlorox residue.
It only takes one stomach issue to help you realize how important these things are. travel safe Vann |

Forgot to mention: If it's been a while since we have used the Pod (and I have time) I will flush some fresh water through the hot water heater, just to freshen it up. Because we don't drink the water we usually put in a small measurement of Camco "Fresh Water". I would have to look it up for sure but I think it's 1 teaspoon per 20 gall of water. I had picked it up on a whim when we first bought the Pod over 2 years ago. It's just bleach. If some of you might say "it smells" remember............. We live in the country with our own well. City water "stinks" to me. |
