No plans here, too many other things on my to-do list!

Techntrek are you planning on a future nose job or anyone else. I think two miles to the gallon improvement is maybe being a bit hopeful but perhaps possible time will tell. If that happens Forestriver may have a V-nose r-pod in there future. That gives me a idea for a name r-vibe or a change from flower-pod to flower-vibe.

With the ease the trailer towed I hope to squeeze at least another 2 miles out of a gallon.

That tug has to be one of the most impressive mods I have ever seen.
For parades, I would add a sulky! |

I have not been out camping yet, gardening and work don't mix with RVing, however spring up here was about 3 weeks late. I did go out with the trailer to weigh it (about 45 km) without the AC and with the nosejob it seems to me that the pod tows a lot easier.

Doug, I took care of that with a plug under the cap. I will use the plug when the little battery gives out.

Something to consider: scrap the little battery and add a spring coil cord temporarily attached to the top of the jack, the plugged into the Bargeman for power. One less battery to maintain for something rarely used.

Bred, I started out with a dolly from princess auto, they have them on sale every once in a while for 300 or 400$, it may do the job for you. My driveway is to steep, the way the dolly is built it didn't do the job for me so I rebuild it.
