New RP 180!!!

Originally posted by TheBum You do want it close, but the rating should always exceed the actual load. You're right: if it's excessively hefty, it can actually cause issues, especially if you're pulling with a unibody TV like our Highlander. A 600/6000 is good for almost any R-Pod setup.

Almost exactly what our dealer explained to us. The 600/6000 is the smallest E2 makes, and so that is what a lot of dealers gravitate to. There are not a lot of WDH choices in the 450/4500 weight category, but those would generally be a good choice for a pod as well. Certainly going to 800/8000 would probably cause more problems than it solves.

I will say that our 600/6000 E2 seems to be a real good match to our RP-179.

OldNeumanntapr, I agree with DavMar, that WDH should work just fine. I don't really agree with the shop's opinion that the R-pod will sway more because it's single axle and has a high profile. I've compared the R-pod to other TTs, and it's not really any higher, and it is, in fact, usually a more narrow profile. At any rate, we have never experienced any sway issue with our 179. The WDH will tend to level both the TV and the TT if it is set up correctly.

When you're pulling with a WDH, you will notice that the TV and TT will move more like "one unit". So it kind of stretches your overall wheelbase. That's slightly hyperbole, but it kind of gives you an idea of what to expect.
