Be Careful with weight distribution

   Many rPods have a rear water tank.  Some carry 36 gallons which is around 275 pounds when full.  Make sure you keep your weight forward.  Excessive weight behind the axle can cause fishtailing and loss of control. 
I don't plan to ever fill my water tank and keep heavier items forward when loading the trailer.  When hooked to a tow vehicle the trailer should be level or a little nose down. 

This is a serious design flaw that everyone should be aware of.
