Nice form, your pod lines up perfectly with your tow vehicle.

Thanks, after we put some "stuff" in it I will do the same drill and post it.  I guess I will move further observations of a "pod newbie" in the review sections.  
 
I have already made my first "mod"  ...  it was easy...  check it out later.

So that gives me an empty rig weight of 2730#.   Not too bad.  Will post more tomorrow on first impressions..   Overall it was good.  But I did see some things I want to change.

The 2460 was the rear axle of the pod only.   I then went home and got my bathroom scale.   It showed the tongue weight.

The first thing I did was go to the nearest Interstate weigh station and get it weighed.  The pod was empty except for fresh water 3/4 full.

We gave up our TT two years ago, we tented a few times since and have found that it isn't as fun as it was 15 yrs ago. We planned on getting another large trailer but after seeing the Rpod, we had to have it so that is what we bought.
