The Max allowable weight (GVWR) of the vehicle, all occupants, cargo, and gear is 6,096
GAWR = 2,921 front axle   -   3,362 rear axle

Max Tongue Load = 450 lbs (recommended tongue load should be 8 - 15% total trailer weight for trailers) so for a 3700 pound trailer using 12% that = 444 lbs.
Max Total Trailer weight = 4,500 lbs including 2 passengers

 Are these R-Pod trailers off balance so that even within towing parameters the tongue weight is messed up on the R-pods?

The WDH distributes the weight evenly over the 4 wheels of the pilot. 

 How do I find out what the tongue load is with the R-Pod 190 loaded with 3700 pounds?

Look up the max combined gross vehicle weight rating for the Pilot. That is the total allowable weight of tow vehicle and trailer, not the max gross vehicle weight rating of 6096 which is the Pilot alone. The MCGVWR number should be in your manual somewhere. Load up the Pilot, including people and a full gas tank, and any stuff you want to take. Go to a public scale and weigh it, getting first one then both axles. Take the total that your dealer (make sure he actually weighs it) gives you for the trailer, add the water and supplies you plan to take.  And a reasonable safety factor, maybe another couple of hundred pounds, to that in case you end up underestimating your gear. Add that all together and be sure you aren't over the MCGVWR. I personally like to stay well under, like 800 lbs under. 

As for tongue weight, I'm about 500 on my 179 which is somewhat lighter than a 190. That's with a full fresh water tank, 2 batteries, and one propane cylinder. I doubt a 190 with the same water, batteries, and propane will end up less that that so I think you'll be over 450. is that messed up? Not really. The total trailer weight is about 3800 lbs so that's 13.1% which is a good place for the trailer. But 500 plus pounds on a tow vehicle rated for 450 is not a good place for the TV. 

Where did you get that an 8% tongue weight is OK? Generally accepted minimum is 10%. I wouldn't tow an rpod below 10%, there are known cases of sway that have occurred below that. I doubt that too low tongue weight will be your problem though.

How do you find out what the tongue weight is on your 190? You load it and weigh it, not another good way to do it. I thought you were having the dealer do that? If not, you can get the number by going through the public scale with the trailer and getting the weight of each axle one at a time. The tongue weight is the difference between the total weight of the Pilot you already have determined above and the combined weight of the two Pilot axles with the trailer attached, but not including the trailer axle. If you measure this then do it without the weight distribution hitch tensioned up or it will mess up the numbers.

As to those who say you can do this, my question is, how would you know without measuring the weights and checking them against the specs? Nothing like actually knowing the facts so you can make an informed decision.
