As a fellow pilot you might be interested in the work some of us have done on the weight and balance of our trailers. As rpods are very light trailers they can be pretty sensitive to getting out of their “w&b envelope”. You can use the forum advanced search function to find those posts if you’re interested.

Enjoy your rpod!

Welcome. Great to have more pilots on the forum. I like the ‘coupe, wish I could get a hangar somewhere nearby. 👍

this is not specific to the 178, but MOST RPods have a small red push button located on the cover plate where the cable/antenna connection is located. This is the antenna booster switch and by pushing the button in, the light should come on and the antenna is now functional.  Usually, one must then do a channel search on the tv to find which channels are available in that area.
Note that the booster is powered by the 12volt power system and if left on it can draw down the battery if  you are not connected to shore power. Turn it off when not in use if not on shore power.
Use the "search" feature at the top of the page to see lots of discussion about the antenna and booster.

Bought an rPod 178 (2013) from a friend. Good condition, but I can't find info about the TV antenna on the roof... any info will help!
