We just purchased our first R-Pod this week and selected a 178 from Pontiac RV in IL. Only a 1 hour drive from home. On the drive home over flat farmlands it became apparent that out Toyota Sienna Minivan with a tow package that so ably towed our pop up was going to have a stroke moving the 178 any faster that 55 mph. So yesterday off to a local Toyota dealer we went. Snatched up a certified used 2013 Toyota Tacoma with only 12k miles on if. Once we install the brake controller next week we will be on the road.

Welcome.  Yup, once you get above 55 it can be a struggle if you have a head wind.
