 Topic: WD and Sway barsPosted: 22 Mar 2009 at 9:02pm |

Hi everyone, what's the opinion of getting WD or sway bars. We currently have an Equal-i-zer 600/6000 from a previous TT, and was wondering if anyone has any problems towing their Rpod while traveling down the I system. Thanks.
Happy travels, Darlene |

 Right now I am pulling my 171 with a Chevy 2500HD truck. I have not had any problems towing it 60 to65 mph without any bars. Hope this helps. Jim

I'm towing our 172 with a Jeep Wrangler 4 door and I use a sway bar...I've had no issues.

We picked up our 171 yesterday right before the snow started. They installed the sway bar while we waited. It worked fine. We have it next to our house. If you want to come by Sunday 4/5 afternoon we will be home. Let me know.

Hi Linda,
How exciting for you. Can't wait to meet you and see your new Rpod. I'll give you call if we can make it on Sunday. Darlene |

Hi Darlene I was out in the freezing cold today packing up the trailer. There is really a lot of room compared to the little pop up. Hope you can make it Sunday. Linda |

Hi everyone. I have similar question. We looking at a 175 model r-pod that we would be towing with a Pontiac Montana van which is front wheel drive. Has anyone used this type of vehicle to tow with? Would weight distribution style hitch be beneficial even with a smaller trailer such as the r-pod? I would use sway control either with or w/o W D hitch.

I have checked into this and the "pros" out there strongly recommends anyone towing any size TT trailer, should use a weight distribution and sway control hitch. It would be best for the safety of ones family. So, we will be using ours. Our last trailer pulled so nice using the equal-i-zer, and it was only a 14' trailer. The big concerns are the cross winds and passing semi's. We'll feel safer using ours.

The owners manual for my Liberty says (I think) anything over 1,000lbs to use one.
