towing with or without sway/weight distribution - Event Date: 10 Nov 2017 - 03 Mar 2018

We have a Toyota Highlander with the tow package.  When we originally got our 179 we only opted for a sway bar only.  We made several long trips including one down to Zion's  NP for a 10 day spring break trip.  No problems and the sway bar did it's job.  Logging all of that highway time I came to not like the raised front end of the car from the weight of the pod on the rear end/hitch.  Found us with unsure footing on gravel or other loose road.  Then I followed the wife and son home from a trip up in Salmon, ID.  I watched the pod bounce down the road on narrow two lane road along the Salmon River with no shoulders or real pull-offs.  Ended up doing lots of research here and other places and end up with the Fastway e2 Trunnion.  What a difference.  Easy to set up and it makes a huge difference.  Levels the car out and takes the bounce out of the pod.  If you have concerns, I'd highly recommend.
Thanks

absolutely.  Waiting is always the safe way to go when weather gets crazy (e.g. downburst thunderstorms or major frontal movements).  Why I thought I wouldn't need swd systems.  I'm retired, so can wait and go when best weather is available.  But, there can always be surprise weather or just gotta get home or to site thinking when that weather does pop up and if something less than extreme, then you're better covered.  If extreme, then no matter what stop and wait.  Be safe.
