Have You Done Any Mods?

My (unprofessional) opinion would be a "no", especially if your GVW exceeds the limits specified for tow vehicle and trailer.   Suspension geometry on a vehicle won't permit a "teeter-totter" effect; adding weight to the front in an attempt to balance it will simply make everything lower.  Basically, you would have to add weight ahead of the front wheels; it's simply not practical. If your tow vehicle's back end is getting too close to the ground, then all I can suggest is to reduce the tongue weight, or install an equalizer.  But even an equalizer is not necessarily a given fix.  It transfers weight from the back of your TV to the front of the TV and the trailer wheels by raising the back end of the TV.  You might be able to pack a lot of weight in the back of your 'pod to reduce tongue weight, but that's not a good idea because you might end up overloading the RV.  If it's a truck or SUV you're using as a TV, then you might also reduce the load in the back of the truck, and make sure the truck suspension is stiff enough to support the loads you are putting on it. You should also check the "traveling" weight of your trailer, and the weight on the tongue.  Usually the tongue weight runs around 10% of the trailer weight.  A heavily loaded trailer will naturally have a high tongue weight.  If you travel with a full water tank (which on my Rpod is located in the forward end of the RV), emptying it might be the first change you need to make to lighten things up. To make a long story short, reduce your weight, and examine how your TV and RV loads are distributed.

   If possible could you move more weight to the front to add more tongue weight.

I have a new 179. The entry door could slam into the right fender tail light. So I attached two 2" long strips of stickem weather striping on the door where the taillight would be connecting with the door. This should create a cushion. I'm looking for better ideas...

Peter and I are leaving next week for a westward trip from Maine to Montana .. We had been discussing ideas for mods during the long winter and he has just completed them.  I am only listing the carpentry type mods.  He put a bookcase across the wall above the dining table, added a drawer over the stove (attached to the cupboard above), added a few shelves in the cupboards, put in a new access door under the bench just as you enter the camper, put a shelf over the head of the bed for books and attaching a light.  The biggest improvement was to add a 4" compartment under the bed for clothing.  There are lifts that help open it and there are removable boards to allow access to the electrical stuff and one to allow reaching down into the basement area below.Many of the mods required adjustments ..to add the under the bed space we needed to remove the blinds and and the valances and put up fabric curtains on a shock cord.  Did not like the noisy blinds anyway.
