New Pod owners

If the Yukon has body-on-frame construction, I would consider a WDH.

Just bought a used 2010 173T! Is the sway bar needed for a Yukon tow vehicle? I need to lower the hitch, 3.25 in drop looks better but the setup it came with is likely too high. 

Not really a new pod owner anymore, but thought I'd share a few updates. We retired in 2024 and have been making longer trips. Last year to Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Palisade, Rifle Falls, Glenwood Springs, Matagorda, Fort Davis, Guadalupe Mountains, Balmorhea.
I replaced the wheel bearings, installed a new battery and repainted the front of the trailer to get the pod ready, but of course we had some issues. Broken toilet valve, electric brake line severed on I-25.(Way go Lever nut repair is holding up pretty good). Ac housing shook itself loose, but all in all the rpod has been a great camper and this forum has been incredibly helpful in finding parts and how-to tips.
This spring I decided to put on a bal hide a spare. I got the recessed mount, but I didn't see how I could make it fit. I read that others said it barely fit, not sure if they had the hood river 9.5 inch tires.
I thought about getting the flush mount plate and cutting it down, but I got a machine shop to extend the hinge plate and made it work. I had to cut and redrill.the tubes. Thanks Stephen H for that heads up! Thanks also to offgrid for the suggestions on how to connect our jackery panels to recharge my battery when boondocking.

Thanks for the pump suggestions! I winterered our unit today since we are looking at a couple nights in the 20's. Found some good directions on this forum. I'll see what I can work out with the pump noise damping next time I have some time.
Regarding the spare, I'm just wary of getting too much weight aft. Probably all those videos of Australian campers wiping out that i came across when researching wdh/anti-sway systems! I also like the idea of having it under the trailer out of the way.
