For sure I do not need it, but it was a more relaxing drive.
 
I must say even without a bigger TV, my Jeep being mid-size, that the E2 does exactly that it makes it feel like one vehicle.
 
And we could all use more relaxing drives on our way to camp!  Smile

The Titan is a full size half ton long wheel base pickup with rear wheel drive, right? I haven't heard anyone here speak of needing either device when towing a pod with that size vehicle.

Have fun, good to have you join us. ]]> Mon, 25 Jul 2011 22:26:44 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1926&PID=18126#18126 Would not have bought without this forum : Hi all.

Hi all.  Have had a new IPod 177 for about a month.  Taken two shake down trips and am really enjoying it.  Am new to trailering and have a question: do any of you long time owners use a  weight distribution hitch and/or anti sway device? In the 500 miles we have put on the IPod so far, it has tracked perfectly behind my Nissan Titan and I have not experienced any "white knuckle" steering incidents.  Have been passed by large trucks with trailers and been in some decent cross winds all without any handling problems.  However, I have read a number of horror stories on the internet about the need for weight distribution/anti sway add on's.   What do you all think?

I agree that this forum is very helpful. I didn't find this site until our Rpod was in the driveway but I have followed a number of suggestion that makes our Tri-pod more comfortable. Changed out the table legs for a pedestal, cut down the hatch cover under the left seat so you could open it with out removing the back seat cushion, use a cane to hold up the lower bunk bed when getting stored items, purchased an awning and a couple of other excellent ideas that I found here.

My family aquired a 172 about two weeks ago and we have already enjoyed one great trip.  Thanks to this forum and the friendly owners for being here.  I loved the Pod design, but have never owned a trailer of any sort before.  Having the chance to look over the old posts here was a great resource in making our decision. 
 
I don't forsee any modifications in our immediate future since the H.M.S. TuPod has a great layout for our small family, but if we encounter anything that might be of use to share, we'll be sure to do so.
 
Hope everyone gets out to do some camping this weekend!
