New from West Virginia without an r-pod

[/QUOTE]

Thank you for the insight, CharlieM. The bulk of our excursions will be on the east coast with a few trips to TN thrown in. With our current schedules heading west isn't an easy trip to plan. I'm going back and forth on the WDH. Honda doesn't recommend, but I know of several folks towing with a WDH and the Ridgeline. It's yet another conundrum I find myself in. Sway control is a definite, however.[/QUOTE]

I don't have my Honda book handy so I can't quote exactly, but Honda doesn't "recommend" a WDH because an improperly adjusted WDH can cause problems. That's absolutely true! Improper adjustment can cause a dangerous situation. I've been there thanks to a lazy dealer. That's why I always recommend reading and understanding the adjustment instructions. Go through it yourself; don't trust a dealer. A properly adjusted WDH greatly increases comfort AND safety. I highly recommend, and use, WDH with sway control.
