And so, wise one (you think), you missed my points about towing and water in the tanks to balance the trailer, to just attack me because I have great tow rigs.
And yes, since you are so precise, water does weigh 8.34 pounds a gallon. I roughed it off in what I wrote. Feel better now? Who cares besides you??
I told the query to balance the trailer and go forward with no worries. I do it all the time as do thousands of Rpod owners without your input.
You decided to pick on me. So now it's my turn.
You tend to use data in place of common sense in most of your posts.
My point was, and try to get this in your cranium, that no matter what you pull with, be it a super duty ford or a suv, if you balance the load it will pull just fine. It might now stop just fine. With a full water tank on board and some weight up front a balanced Rpod is no problem, mon.
I use a friction sway bar and do also pull with an f150.
If the trailer is balanced, then it is only stopping time with a load behind you that truly matters. Big trucks like my superduty Ford take care of that and I'm sorry you think I don't know what I'm talking about because I tow with a big truck. And a half ton.
I truly take exception that you think I would give advice here that would cause some person harm. I am here on occasion to help folks who have honest questions, you are her to spout your pseudo-intellectual dogma.
Your advice surely is under scrutiny. Not mine.
No one wants a trailer to start whipping around behind them. That will happen no matter what the tow vehicle if the trailer is not balanced.
Too many people pull Rpods with tiny tow rigs that can't handle any sort of quick emergency style stops, or if the trailer moves side to side in the wind it jerks the tow vehicle.
Maybe that's why Forest river is building bigger trailers these days and have seemingly left those beautiful little trailers like my 177?
Many folks were pulling them with little vehicles that could barely pull them, but not stop them, nor deal with it well when they swayed.
My point, and it was a fair and honest answer to the question, was to haul with a full tank with no fears, and mitigate it with some water up front in the black tank, and some additional weight inside the trailer up front.
A trailer will sway, when it does sway, no matter the tow rig up front, but a strong rig up front can save the day, genius.
