Thanks for the answers to the first questions I have since bought my R Pod 177 now I am wondering where everyone stores stuff like towels, food, pots, jackets etc. What inovative ideas are there out there. Thanks in advance

Welcome!  Shocks won't do anything for the sag, they don't carry any weight.  New springs, which do carry the weight, may help some.  However, I recommend you instead put your money into a weight distribution hitch.  It will definitly fix the sag, greatly improve the ride comfort, and add sway control as a bonus.  The E2 is one option (I have it) which is fairly cheap.  Probaby cheaper than 2 new springs.

Big smile Welcome!  I've been an R-Pod owner for 3 weeks now and am towing with an'02 Dakota 8 cyl with no issues. Others will chime in, but you should be fine. People seem to be pulling these with Jeeps, Outbacks, Tacomas, as well as the full sized vehicles.

Hi, my name is Sherry, I just put a deposit on my 1st new trailer-an RPOD. I have camped for years and have had lots of vintage trailers, such as Bolers, now I am trying something new. I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer 6 cyl. I don't think I will have any issues towing my new "rig" but am wondering others opinions or suggestions. I am going to start with new shocks as the Blazer is a big sagging. ...
Anyway looking forward to exploring this site.
Thank you in advance and happy camping!
