I just talked to the service dept at blue dog. we have an appointment for our walk thru on Friday the 13th. I guess I will get to see how she pulls on the long drive home.

We don't have our RPOD yet. I just signed the paper work long distance on Friday. We bought a 2014 HRE178 from Blue Dog in Kennewick WA. will be traveling the 4 hours from the Seattle area in the next couple weeks.
I will be pulling it with our 2012 Nissan Xterra. I have been pulling my 1979 Apache Ramada hardside pop up for years. it probably is about as heavy as the 178. since I don't have the new one yet, here is a picture of my Apache.

Have been following this discussion as well as others regarding the need for a WDH. The dealer we bought from suggested the sway control and that's what we went w/. After reading what all of you have been saying I called him and asked about adding the WDH. (He should have seen $$$$$$$ signs - right?) Well he said that they don't recommend them for TT this small and that we wouldn't need it but that he would have it installed if we wanted it.
Obviously a combination WDH and sway control unit is the ideal setup but if I find that I need the WDH will it be possible to add it to the sway control that I am purchasing now? Thanks |

Going to add Husky Centerline TS 400-600 to that list. I'm very happy with it. |

D. K., consider getting a weight distribution hitch that includes sway control, like the Equalizer, E2, or Reese dual cam.

We will be setting up our 2011 GMC Terrain with our 179 pod in the next few weeks. Should we consider purchasing the sway bar unit? What have others done?

Yes! 1200 mile trip in 5 days. Up 101, camped on the OR coast, then to Bend to ski Mt. Bachelor, then headed home past the behemoth.
