   Hello, my wife and I have just been to the Toronto RV show. We thought we had picked the travel trailer for us, the Rpod 178 but having read several postings on your web site, we are unsettled as what we should do. The reason, our Suv.  We recently purchased a 2014 Mercedes GLK 250 diesel. We opted NOT to purchase a factory installed trailer hitch because the only size available was an 1 1/4. We are now going through the process of buying and having installed a 2" hitch with add ons[electric brakes, stabilizer bar, etc.] from a RV dealer. The GLK is listed as pulling up to 3500 lbs but when speaking with the Mercedes dealer, they say you should pull less than that. Two local dealers say that it should not be a problem, one dealer has installed hitches on other Mercedes cars. Has anyone pulled a 178 with the same GLK or similar SUV and what do you recommend.
