Lovin the Pod

Having towed a 177 many miles, both with and without a WDH, we like the way it rides with the WDH. We don't use sway control. 

We use this one.

My opinion is simple. I would rather think 5 years from now " i wonder if i really needed this" than possibly end up with a major issue and be standing on the side of the highway thinking " Why didn't i take that simple step that cost a lousy couple hundred bucks" . I've been in a vehicle as a kid when the trailer almost jack knifed. I watched in fear as it swayed back and forth and my dad fought to regain control. Had there been any traffic around us, who knows what might of happened. That was the only time, with many trips with that trailer, that something like that happened. If i recall correctly, that was when he bought the sway bar. I use the " better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it " approach on this subject. you'll only live thru that once without realizing how important it " can " be. Me personally, i have WDH with sway control. The fastway E2, and it was $525.00 installed. Over ten years its fifty dollars worth of piece of mind per year. That's my opinion, only you can decide the thing that's right for you 

MichelleC.  Enjoyed your post, we started with a small Rockwood popup when our family was small (4).  As the family and kids grew in size we purchased a Rockwood 1160 popup in 1993 and continued with that until we saw our first R-Pod in October 2010 while camping as Fort Wilkens SP in Copper Harbor, MI.  After that we were smitten and ordered our 177 in January 2010 from a dealer in Excanaba, MI.  Great dealer, great travel trailer, many great memories.
