Many also opt to have a weight distribution hitch which will smooth out the ride as well as provide sway control.]]> Sat, 13 Aug 2016 21:08:06 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8579&PID=80494#80494 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8579&PID=80481#80481 Author: uspopjw

Just measured the top of our 2" ball on our Explorer, 16."  Sway bar, a necessity for us because of a short wheelbase.  Many on this forum who have full size pick ups don't use them, while others do, as Leo mentioned, personal preference.  My take is that I would rather err on the side of safety (in other words, spend the 50 - 75 bucks on a sway bar) than save a few bucks while towing a pod that you have thousands of dollars invested in.

Welcome to the group!! If memory serves 17 inches. Some recommend the anti sway bars, boils down to personal preference. ]]> Sat, 13 Aug 2016 14:41:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8579&PID=80477#80477 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8579&PID=80476#80476 Author: uspopjw

I am planning to purchase a 2017 R-Pod 171 in a few months.  Was wondering if anyone can tell me the hitch height for this travel trailer.  I live in FL and will be picking up the trailer in Ohio in route to Michigan, so I want to have the correct receiver on my vehicle when I arrive.  Was also wondering if a anti-sway bar is recommended.]]> Sat, 13 Aug 2016 14:37:40 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8579&PID=80476#80476
