    Posted: 23 Jul 2021 at 11:51pm
Hello all!  We just finished our first real camping trip with our new-to-us 2020 R-pod 195 and had a great time & everything worked well with one exception; the outdoor kitchen hose.  I had no issue hooking it up and it worked fine for a few seconds but then loses pressure/no water at all.  If I let it sit for a while the same thing happens again.  Just wondering if anyone else has had any similar problems or tips on how to make it work?  Thanks!

Try unscrewing the terminal nozzle/screen. Crud happens there.

That absolutely sounds like a blockage to me. Try the hose, and see if it works if it's NOT on the actual qwik release. Maybe hold the end to a sink, and just see if water passes thru. Then try taking a small screwdiver, maybe a nail and push on the center piece to open it up, then have someone turn on the water. It's hard to push in the center piece if the pressure is already on before you try.

I have checked all that I can without finding any crud or blockages, so the search continues...

Can you connect an air hose to it and blow compressed air into the fitting (50 psi or less)? If so, I would try that with faucets or low point drains open to see if you can push out any blockage.

Had the same problem the check valve that is part of the hose connector has a spring & o-ring release in inside. I disconnected the supply hose inside removed the connector from the mount in the side wall took the white plastic check valve apart, realign the interior parts reinstalled everything works fine. 
   My R-Pod 180 was new Last fall the list of manufacturers mistakes is very long. 
   We still love are little trailer having all the redos seems like par for anything Forest River is putting out right now.
    Glad being a country boy and farmer you just fix it your self I feel bad for owners of anything if they don’t have my back round.
