Since I started this debate again I thought it only appropriate to chime back in. After driving 740 miles back home from the dealer and facing 30 to 50 mpg winds on the hi-way I was very thankful I had the e2 hitch. I really feel like it made a huge difference on the ride back home.

The sticker should also tell you size & ply rating of the tire, that the camper requires. I know our Coleman has that. I haven't checked the Pod's sticker for that.

would the pressure differ between what it says on the yellow sticker vs the tire itself? I'll have to check this out when I get home.

<The tire pressure for your pod is 50 PSI.>
Which is also listed along with the VIN number, weight, etc on the street side front corner of the trailer. Look at the yellow sticker. |

Since we seem to have deviated slightly from WDH questions - maybe this is the best place for this question!
My pod tires are inflated to the max (I think it is 35 psi if I recall correctly) as written on the sidewall - and they still seem squishy (technical term). I know some bulge is normal on radial tires but they seem too soft. Is this normal? |

Tire pressure in the TV and trailer are also a factor, also covered in the Pod manual (link in my sig). Both need to be near or at max for 2 reasons. One is to prevent sway since sidewall flex amplifies a small sway into a big one very quickly. The second is that tires are only rated for their maximum carrying capacity at their maximum inflation. I keep the pod at max psi, and the truck within a few psi of the max rating. I've learned that ride comfort dramatically decreases by adding those last few pounds which is why I keep it a few psi lower. Since that isn't an issue for the trailer and most campers are pushing their weight ratings when fully loaded and with full tanks, the pod always gets the max.
