How critical is "tow ball height"?

   Well, since I started this thread, I guess I should report back.

After adjusting the WDH to its lowest possible setting, the leveling

vial indicates a nose-up of a tad less than 2 degrees.  The 'Pod towed

perfectly behind the new truck, but we were on back roads and never got

above 55 mph.  None of out outings to date have required interstate or

other high speed situations, but I intend to hitch up and do a test run

down I-75 just so I will know what to expect.

Anti sway is still an available option since my present hitch is

strictly weight distribution.

	I think am slightly nose up, but the high lift kit on the pod makes this a very pleasant tow. I do not have WDH or sway control (yet??). YES you need to empty all tanks. I do carry about 5 gal of fresh water in case I need a flush or two, but any more than that I can feel the slosh effect.
