What kind of vehicle do you tow your Rpod with?

We started with a 2012 Toyota Rav4 Sport w/tow package last summer when we got rid of our pop up and got the Pod.  Used a E2 hitch and the Rav did a lot better than I thought it would but we were at the Max.  We've up graded to a 2016 Toyota 4Runner and what a significant difference.  We leave on June 10 for a FROG rally in Kingston Ont so lots of highway driving coming up. We'll see how it goes.

Do you have the green one and were you on 287 north near Route 23 around 4 PM?  We past a new RPOD with temporary jersey plates and Scott RV wheel cover on it.  We honked as we passed  but the driver did not look over.  We were driving to pick up our RPOD at our daughters house to begin a trip.  Welcome to the group and enjoy your RPOD

We tow ours with a 2012 Nissan Frontier. We did tow it with a Subaru Outback R 3.6 but felt it was a little bit too much for it.

Originally posted by JohnC I pull my 2012 182G with a 2014 Ford Explorer. Handles great. My only complaint is the already poor 18mpg goes to 10mpg with the rpod.

What speeds are you going when you get 10 mpg? Two things that help:
1. Limit your speed to 60 mph. If that is too slow for you, limit it to 65 mph. Anything above that and you are really cutting your mileage.
2. Put a wind deflector such as the AeroPlus or AeroShield on top of your Explorer. When coupled with holding your speed down, you will see a significant increase in mileage. That was my experience when I added an AeroPlus to the Escape we were towing with formerly. I finally figured out how to mount it on the Frontier we now have. I have not had the opportunity to test it yet. When we go to pick it up at the factory after it is repaired from this past winter's accident, I will have the chance to test it and see if it performs as well on the Frontier as it did on the Escape. In lieu of the wind deflector, you could carry a small boat inverted. It will serve the same purpose.

When considering my tow vehicle I looked at factory tow package vehicles with a towing capacity of about twice what the rpod weighs. So far I'm very happy with my 2015 Toyota Tacoma 4x4, towing our 2016 Rpod 179. The temp gauge has never moved beyond its normal midpoint.
