You sure can. Nothing to disconnect. Just do what you would normally do.

I did a post on this hitch when I bought mine:

E2 hitch

It does the job at a reasonable price.]]> Sun, 27 Mar 2016 12:09:52 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7633&PID=72043#72043 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7633&PID=72040#72040 Author: Rod Pod

Fastway E2 with the 600 lb bars is the way to go. Reasonably priced (amazon), fast shipping and easy to install if you have basic mechanical skills. My 2014/F150 handled the Pod great on our first trip in some massive headwinds. I will not tow without a WDH ever again. You will not be disappointed in the confidence it will give you when towing with a marginal TV such as a small SUV. ]]> Sun, 27 Mar 2016 11:14:52 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7633&PID=72036#72036 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7633&PID=72000#72000 Author: sailor323

We tow a 179 with a friction sway bar from "Pro Series."  We have never disconnected it when backing.  It seems to minimize sway but when a big rig (especially an automobile transport) passes us on the highway at 70 plus miles an hour,  we can feel it.]]> Sat, 26 Mar 2016 19:52:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7633&PID=72000#72000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7633&PID=71946#71946 Author: DaveC3

I am not sure what model the hitch is, the dealer installed it. But it works great for us.

I have the E2 hitch made by Fastway and have been pleased with it. (sway + weight distributing)

There are devises that provide sway control, only (no weight distribution) which can be added to a standard hitch assembly. Some have them and are satisfied. I understand that they must be disengaged prior to backing up.

Do a "search" (upper right) on "sway" and/or "hitch". you should get a bunch of info. It is a frequent topic here.]]> Fri, 25 Mar 2016 14:38:31 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7633&PID=71910#71910 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7633&PID=71907#71907 Author: Rod Pod

We just returned from a 1,500 mile trip to the Ozarks.  We had a Equal-i-zer weight distribution /sway control installed on our new 180.  We hit high cross winds and had many trucks pass us.  No sway at all.  My wife does the driving so I felt it was worth the piece of mind having a stable tow.
