Thanks pHp - I think you are looking at the 2022, the one I was looking at had a dry weight of ~2750#, tongue of ~305#. I calculated my load to be partial water fill and 2-250#s other, but that is still over your 20% target... I had targeted 10% (2475#), but maybe still too tight... Also not sure if being 'hybrid' is a positive or negative to consider other than the reduced limits.

I don't think it's a go. The 190 shows a dry weight of 2979 lbs. My 180 is 2950 lbs dry, but when loaded for the road it's 3500 lbs (without water), and we pack on the light side as we came to the Rpod from tent camping. It's recommended that you reserve 20% of your max tow rating for safety. That leaves you with 2800 lbs for towing. You'll be overloaded just in total weight, without even looking at tongue weight. |

Hello, I'm Chris & new to the forum, and about 90% likely to be buying an R-Pod 190 soon. I have already found lots of useful info on this forum and bookmarked it! I have reached out to other RV'ers for advice, but one thing I would like to hear from this group is whether my Highlander Hybrid is adequate (3500# max, 350# tongue) for this R-Pod. It appears it may be a close call... any thoughts? Thanks for any insights!
