Hello everyone. Just bought a 2014 178. This is our first rv. We have an eight month old and did not see an enjoyable tent camping experience. We are learning about this new type of camping for us. We have had our r-pod for two weeks, but have not taken it out yet. I needed to get my 2000 GMC Sierra ready to tow. Everything is good to go now and looking forward to next weekend. We are excited about our recent purchase and learning all we can about our r-pod. I want to thank you all for the information that I have read on this forum. Happy camping,
Kevin

When we bought our Sienna we got the towing package which, if I recall properly, comes with a heavier radiator, a cooling system for the transmission, heavier shocks and brakes. You should look this up to be sure-it's been 9 years! When we bought the rPod the dealer swapped our class I hitch for a class II hitch and added a trailer brake signal system and anti sway bar. It seemed to do just fine! The only bummer was that the pod plus the Sienna total around 35 ft. in length which made for two very expensive ferry crossings!   The rate goes way up after 30 ft.

My apologies in advance if I'm doing it wrong. So far we are loving our pod. We are at the John Wayne RV park outside of Sequim, WA. We are towing with a Toyota Sienna van. We are grateful for this forum and have already learned much from all of you. I will try to post some pictures. Looking forward to participating in the forum! Erin and Dan
How does the sienna do?  I drive a sienna, but my husband drives a Toyota tundra, so that is what we have been using.  I would like to get a hitch for my sienna so I could pull with that. We also have a 177. Do you have any thing extra on the Sienna?
