How much weight does that add to the tongue?
I added a small wooden dual battery box and thinking of adding a generator to the tongue and was worried about the added weight. I think that you may have surpassed me there, therefore, I probably shouldn't worry about my added weight.
Looks great!!!!!

Very Nice Job.  I have been looking for a reasonably affordable electric dolly like the one you are using in the pics. Can you tell me where you got yours and the make and model?  I have a narrow driveway that i need to walk our pod down with the dolly.  Thanks!!

  It looks great! and definitely one of a kind. I am sure your r-pod has got the attention of designers at Forest River. They might be asking you for copy rights.

I love that tow dolly! What kind of mileage does is get? Wink

I don't know what make the battery box is, it came with the pod.
Don't know the mileage, I do know it travels 20' a minute.

Wow. For any attending the Charleston Roundup in September, Marwayne has graciously decided to come. We can all get a close-up look at his amazing mods. I am certainly looking forward to seeing this first hand. See you in September. Safe Travels.

With those portholes and the new front end it looks like something Cousteau would hop in and take down to 20,000 leagues!
