I am "guessing" you are talking about our pod. We have a "currentwerks duo" outlet in our head bumper. I installed it. Moved the outlet that used to be there over to the back side of the shower stall and plug the TV in over there, since we moved the TV to a shelf on that side of the pod we made.

I love the self contained water filter system.....That's just genius ! What Kind of filter should I use to build one ? What is the gauge for ?   We pick up our new 178 this weekend.......I'm thinking this will be my first mod.

There is no gauge. There is a union between the filters so I can separate them. Go with the hydro pure technologies, its a little $ but works the best, check the website. The only thing not in the picture is a pressure limiter which will prevent high pressure systems from overloading the rv system.

Scoul, I was referring to the system in the blue plastic container on page 10. It has a gauge of some sorts on the system....You may have hit the nail on the head.....some sort of pressure regular, perhaps. Do your filters fit inside your box for storage ?

That was BagEnd's version. It is a pressure regulator with visual guage. He also added a hose bib etc. I use a camco fixed pressure regulator, it just limits the system to 50 psi and attaches to the feeder hose. My filter breaks in half (at the union) and fits in a smaller Tupperware. The filters dry out faster that way. I also made holes in the lid and sides to allow more air flow. BagEnd's version looks fixed as the PVC is glued.

Posting Mod's So far in response to nothing in particular:
  • Moved Spare tire to the front  Pic 1 and 2
  • Replaced 1.25" hitch with standard 2" for Bike Rack (and that means upgrading the rear frame work)  Pic 3 & 4
  • Storage shelf slides into new 2" hitch, plus offers another 2" hitch off that.  I highly doubt we will use that at the same time (for bike rack perhaps).  this is what you get when you have an excited friend that does metal fabrication.   Big smile  Pic 5

Looks good.  I wouldn't use the hitch on the back of the cargo tray.  Due to its distance from the axle it will whip around a bit.

   Looks good! I think you are the only one I remember being a metal fabricator on this forum. Enjoy your r-pod as you make it more user friendly as you want it to be.
