Our first test pulling the Pod 190 thru the Smokies with our little 2004 Explorer Sport Track was a tremendous success.

The truck has the V6 4.0L and did a really great job, both up and down the long steep grades.....

I have the WDH with anti-sway.  Even driving through a few thunderstorms with wind did not bother the ride or handling at all.  I did not have to use the manual brake control even once, which really surprised me.

What an easy tow!!!!

One thing I did upon our return, is tear out that ridiculous little over the sink cabinet and expanded that space from 8"X39" to 17"X39".  Wow what a difference in storage........Keeping in mind not to overload the slide out !  It is a HUGE difference!

Also had the sewage pipe hangar break, but fixed that very easily at the campsite..(That is something Forest River needs to correct).  What a shoddy operation that is!

Everyone Enjoy the Journey!!!!!!!

Great! 

Yeah I had to 'fix' that bracket on the discharge outlet too...I mean it kinda looks and feels solid, until it breaks!
