When you're on a sailboat, it seems like no matter which way you want to go it's always upwind.

Oh yes, but being on a run is even more fun. Less chance of spilling my beer.

Hi!

My name is KaRynn and we too have a Tiguan. IT is a 2014 manual speed Tiguan.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It has put a lot of questions we had before purchasing the R-Pod to rest. We just purchased an R-Pod RP 171 and very excited to take delivery on it tomorrow.

However, we were wondering if you installed a Weight Distribution Hitch or sway control bars?

Thank you,

K and M

We had the factory tow package on the Edge. Has been several years now since I have had my pod, but I seems to remember sway control bars on the hitch...remember pulling my pod straight first, applying them AND before I started backing into a camp site I would remove them! I had made a sign to hang from my rearview mirror telling me to remove sway bars!

K_and_M welcome.  I recommend getting a WDH with sway control.  No need to disconnect it when backing up, unlike sway bars.

Hi techntrek,

Thank you! We are very excited and happy with our new trailer!

We ended up getting the WHD with sway control and she drives very well. Handles the "hill"/mountainous region out west we see here in the Rockies.

We have spent a couple of nights in the trailer and found that it tilts to the back a couple of degrees. Have you found this to be an issue or are we setting up our trailer wrong? We do put the stabilizer jacks down, but no matter how we adjust and readjust them, the trailer always seams to be leaning towards the back. 

If we adjust them too much, then the jack being adjusted would take one or even two other stabilizers off the ground. We are also using pieces of wood under each stabilizer.

Any suggestions?
