I currently own a T@G by Little Guy but I want something bigger. I travel with my two dogs.  My main tow vehicle is a Nissan Frontier But occasionally in the winter I would like to tow with my Honda Pilot 4 x 4. I am also looking at the T@B which is smaller and a little pricey Are there any other women who travel my themselves in an Rpod?

Welcome to the group!
180 is a really nice floor plan.

Either the Nissan or the 4x4 Pilot will tow the Pod fine but you should consider a WDH like the Fastway E2. You will also need a brake controller like the Prodigy P3. The answer to you last question is Yes and some are members here.

I am going to say I probably know of at least 20 women who pod single. And have met at least a dozen of them.

Yeah, it seems to me that most of the solo R-Pod travelers are women, or maybe the men just don't participate in forums as much as women do.

My wife, who is far from an outdoorsy type, has no problem towing, parking, and (un)hitching our 179. She's still not brave enough to back it into our storage unit.

I know a fair number of solo males too.. but I would say the females outnumber the males in my experience.

Thanks for all the helpful comments. After thought and reading more on tow vehicles I am now thinking that a 171 would be more than enough for me  I am hoping to go look at one next week.
