The round bar 600/6000 E2 will work very well and is very popular. The trunnion version advertises more ground clearance, but that shouldn't be an issue. The round bar may be a bit more flexible in attachment placement. As for what your dealer told you, well...........he's a dealer.

Just to share my experiences this summer, my wife and I took two longer trips, one about six hundred miles round trip without any sway control, and then a 1600 mile round trip with one. I have an R-Pod 178 and my tow vehicle is a six-cylinder Dodge Durango with a factory tow package and Mopar electric brake controller. I drove with all three water tanks empty, and kept most of our nominal added loaded weight in the front of the camper ahead of the axle. During the first trip without the sway control bar, I felt that the trailer was doing a fair amount of minor “tail wagging” but was manageable. It was fairly windy during the trip which may have impacted or created this sensation. I did not notice any significant sway however. What I did notice was that when I drove over 60 mph the trailer was prone to sway noticeably when getting out to pass in the passing lane etc. I’m not sure if this was due to speed alone or a combination of increased speed along with maneuvering in and out of the passing lane. Needless to say I kept my speed to between 55 and 60 mph. I wasn’t comfortable with that situation so prior to my 1600 mile round trip I purchased and installed a #26660 Reese Standard friction sway control bar to my trailer and hitch. I figured it wouldn’t make things worse and might actually help. I found this to be a noticeable improvement in the overall handling of my rig. The “tail wagging” sensation was now absent, even though it was windy during this trip as well, and I was able to drive 70 mph in the passing lane of the interstate while maneuvering and passing slower moving vehicles and the sway control bar seemed to keep everything stiff and in line. I even tried to induce a little sway when no other traffic was present by moving the steering wheel to the left and right in quick succession to wobble it a bit, but the trailer was much stiffer and behaved well. I still kept my normal driving speed between 60 and 65 when the speed limit permitted which is my personal preference for driving with a trailer. I do not feel that at least with my current tow vehicle I need to install any weight distribution hitch as the tongue weight of the Pod is around 300 lb. more or less with load, and is well within the maximum for the Durango which also has a self-leveling rear suspension included in the tow package. Maybe it might be necessary with smaller tow vehicles etc. but not in this case. I hope this helps with anyone wondering about sway control for their R-Pod. By the way we love the R-Pod too!]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2015 17:10:42 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6906&PID=66644#66644 Do you use Weight Distribution? : Just thought I'd add a comment... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6906&PID=66015#66015 Author: regdave

Just thought I'd add a comment to the topic.
We have a 178 (as of Feb 2015) with WDH and tow with a Nissan Frontier (4L 6cyl).
Prior to this we towed a 17ft Casita for 2 years (also with a WDH) with a Ford Ranger (3L 6cyl).

The Casita also had an anti-sway bar. After the first trip or two we never used the anti-sway again.
It just wasn't necessary and we haven't missed it on the 178.
That's probably a statement of preference as some tow vehicles may need it.

We have 2 general class of uses for our trailer(s): local trips of an hour or less and long distance trips of 2000 miles or more.

For the longer trips we always use the WDH. It doesn't really change the overall towing experience but it goes a loooong way towards taking the 'bounce' out of interstate travel. That up and down rhythm a vehicle gets into on the long hauls. That can be very tiring on extended trips and the WDH knocks that out almost completely.

For shorter trips, we may or may not use it. The local state parks, or the dealership for service, are within ~ 30min and we'll often just hook up and go without setting up the WDH.

The nice thing with the WDH (at least the ones we've used) is you can NOT use them anytime you want. But once you get used to it, we rarely go anywhere without hooking it up.

We've logged about 10,000 mi this year with our 178 and all but maybe a hundred of those  with the WDH attached.

That's a very smart way to determine road time Doug. I'm glad we made it home safely and probably will never be on the road for that amount of straight driving again. We had been gone from home since the 31st of August and was really anxious to get back home after staying in motels. I think my stress level is just now returning to normal. lol

By the way I guess to tow with or without WDH/sway depends on how comfortable one is with either option. I have yet to tow without so I can't compare. But I guess since I have towed with WDH and was very comfortable, I will not test the other option. The objective is to have a fun camping experience safely. We have planned our maiden voyage for 9-11 Oct with a trip only about 25 miles from home.

My rule of thumb is take whatever Google says and multiply it by 1.3.  Then add another hour for lunch.  And I don't do more than 10 hours each day including breaks - unless I get to the 10 hour mark and truly feel up for another hour or two max.  The 1.3 factor takes into account going slower, times when you can't pass, longer gas breaks, etc.

I can do 14 hours straight from my house to Orlando.  Google says it is 13.5 hours - their time is for cars but doesn't include a lunch break.  If I'm towing 13.5 hours bumps up to 18 hours, but since that is now 2 days then add 2 more hours for two lunches, so two 10 hour days.

I'll add my two cents worth. I am also new to towing smaller trailers. I'm not new to towing as having spent 22 years in the Army Signal Corps, I've got years of experience towing 2 1/2 ton vehicles up to 5 tons with generator trailers. That being said nothing beats the towing experience when properly set up.

We just picked up our 179 in Hamilton, Ohio on Thursday. We purchased the Fastway E-2 with sway control. Total distance from there back home to Central Texas was 1159 miles. I drove straight through for a little over 22 hours. Google estimated 17 hours, guess they didn't consider while towing. Anyway, the towing experience was wonderful. There were times I'd forget I was towing and looked down at the speedometer and realized I probably should slow down. I will never tow without a WDH and sway, sure made my trip stress free. Well at least until I got to Nashville and Dallas, but that's a traffic story and had nothing to do with the towing experience.]]> Sun, 13 Sep 2015 16:57:39 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6906&PID=65881#65881 Do you use Weight Distribution? : Congrats!!

I've been following your videos since you guys started... I think I was looking for R-Pod reviews on YouTube and I came across your first post right at the start of the journey. A great adventure for sure...

I picked up my pod last night and we set up the WDH prior to leaving and it was an easy tow the 4 hours home. The previous owner took the time to explain everything and set it up right which was great. I got a high quality brake controller as well and it did it's job once I got it set.

We towed through country roads and major highways with loads of traffic and had zero issues. My milage sucked but I'll get use to towing and hopefully tweak my speeds to get the best performance.

Thanks for the help everyone....

I'm new to towing and so need some education. I understood it that a WDH helps with "porpoising" or an up and down motion, but does nothing for sway. Is that true? Because I agree, a sway bar is well worth the cost for safety. But, while a WDH can make for a more comfortable ride, haven't noticed much porpoising and so I haven't been concerned about getting a WDH.]]> Thu, 03 Sep 2015 19:30:07 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6906&PID=65542#65542 Do you use Weight Distribution? : I think the closer the TV is to... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6906&PID=65541#65541 Author: Keith-N-Dar

Good move. As Bobditch said, you don't need WDH until you do. But the WDH must be properly installed and adjusted or it can cause more problems than it solves. Read the book, understand it,  and carefully follow it. Going through it yourself will give you safety and confidence. I could, but won't, tell the horror story of my first experience with my dealer's installation.

While you're at it get a good brake controller. Tekonsha proportional controllers are best. My preference is the P3.

It's interesting how this topic comes up every month or so. The people that don't use a WHD/anti-sway say they don't have problems and the ones that do use it say "I'd never leave home without it". 
Many years ago I was towing a flatbed loaded with cabinets my partner had just made that we were delivering to a job site. While driving down the interstate, during rush hour, out of nowhere the trailer started to sway, and sway, and sway. We both started to freak out. My partner hit the breaks to try and stop the sway. We finally got the trailer under control, but that was after we lost half our load. We were VERY fortunate that no one got hurt or no cars were hit with flying cabinets. That was a lessened learned and an event I NEVER want to relive.
So... you can get along without WHD until you can't, but then it will be too late. 
And another thing. It's not just the safety aspect it REALLY makes the driving / towing experience much more comfortable and on a long trip being comfortable is nice.
Just Sayin'

I'm towing a 179 with a Kia Sorrento V6.  Rated at 3800lb capacity.  Fastway E2 WDH and Dual Sway.  It was a must have considering I'm towing with a lighter/smaller vehicle. However I've towed boats, trailers ect with larger vehicles and I'll have to say I will never tow without these components again.  I feel very safe when towing.  I never experience any fish tailing even in high winds or at 75mph.  When I change lanes the trailer is right in line with the TV.  My advise is if you can afford to purchase then I would invest in the WDH and Sway.  ]]> Thu, 03 Sep 2015 01:38:29 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6906&PID=65507#65507 Do you use Weight Distribution? : Jburns,The answer is yes, I use... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6906&PID=65506#65506 Author: CharlieM

Jburns,

The answer is yes, I use WDH and so should you. I started with an RP172 (2200# empty) and a Honda Pilot (rated 4500#). I used an E2 WDH that includes sway control. The WDH makes all the difference in ride and comfort. Most importantly it returns full steering authority to the front axle. It greatly reduces the porpoising experienced on road dips. I now tow a Camplite 21RBS (3500# empty) with a Tacoma (rated 6400#) using the same E2 WDH. Same results. I wouldn't feel safe without it. Even those with larger full sized trucks eventually choose WDH. They may not need it , but they want it. For the small cost involved don't risk a bad or uncomfortable experience.

It seems like the WDH vs. no WDH is like asking V8 vs. V6. Is one better than then other? Yes. Is is necessary to have one over the other? Maybe not. Depends on your TV, TT, where you tow, etc. 

I decided to just go with the sway bar, mainly because I had already sunk a chunk of change into the pod only to discover my V6 Escape wouldn't do the job so I had to buy a new TV, too. Big smile

So, just like towing with a V8, get the WDH if you can afford it. But if the cost keeps you from podding, then try just the sway first.
