We just picked up the RPod 179, had a Protige Brake controller P2 installed. What is the recommended setting? Currently set to B0, 45....my TT is a Honda Odyssey.

Welcome.  I hope you explore the country instead of exploding it.  Wink

Welcome to the group! Congrats on your 179. Our tow vehicle is a Dodge Grand Caravan, we have towed back and forth to Florida and North Carolina multiple times. You should be fine.

Welcome! We just purchased our 179 a couple of months ago. Just got back tonight from camping at the Guadalupe River State Park in Texas. Had a blast! And got so many good comments about our Rpod (and Rdome).  You will love yours! It's not as overwhelming as you think. You and the Mrs will love it! Welcome!! Be sure to sign up at Forest River Owners Group also. They post tons of stuff as well, including upcoming F.R.O.G rallies. This is a great site too. Lots of super friendly, super helpful Rpod owners. Maybe we'll see you out camping sometime. Thumbs Up

We are newbies to trailer camping, only tent camping in the past. We went to our first RV show trying to learn about the world of trailer camping in January this year.  When we saw the R-pod, we knew we wanted one to explode this great country of ours.  My wife has been hooked onto this forum since then and reading all the posts and learning everything about the R-pod and trailer camping in general.  In a couple of weeks, we will be picking up our R-pod 179 in Ohio. We are very excited and can't wait.  However, we are also nervous about towing and all the unknown with owning and operating a trailer camper.
Our TT is a 2002 Honda Odyssey, we got the hitch, brake controller and the 7-pole connector installed from U-haul.  We are currently researching the Automatic Transmission Fluid cooler and Power Steering Cooler as suggested by Honda.  I will be posting questions related to the ATF and PS coolers.
