Kitting Up, Continued
We were VERY tempted to take the Pod out this weekend. Temperatureswere going to be in the upper 50’s and lower 60’s but schedules and winddictated a few more mods.
So continuing from my last set of mods, I finished my sewerkit. Once again, this kit goes into a plastic bin that fits into the outsidestorage area. This one has a clear 45 degree adapter, a coupler, nitrilegloves, a sewer adapter (with the other end already attached to a sewer hose)and a sewer hose support. This last item does not fit into the bin, but itseems to travel pretty well as is. My pod came with 2 sewer hoses, and I put a ValterraEZ coupler sewer hose connection shortly after it arrived.
Naturally, since I have 2 hoses, I checked to see if theywould both fit in the smallish sewer hose holder and they would not. I wish Ihad checked that before I had put the tongue box on a few weeks ago as I had totake the box off to attach the second holder. It tucks in nicely behind the boxand between the Pod. I shifted it a bit to the driver side since that’s whereit would be used the most.
Continuing in the water vein, I swapped out the standardshower head with the Oxygenics Shower head. This was a pretty straightforwardprocess where I removed the old hose and bracket and replaced it with the newone. The new one also came with a water cutoff switch that makes it easier totake a navy shower. My hope is that the hose will straighten out once I getsome hot water running through it.
I also went ahead and swapped out the light bulbs in the Podfor LED lamps. Also a very easy process and took all of 5 minutes to complete.I kept the old bulbs and put them into my hardware box I discussed a few postsup.
A few small items were also added: A mirror (a must have formy wife), a cup-holder so that I have a spot for a water bottle at night whenthe dinette is turned into a bed, and a few strategic command-strip hooks.
