Thanks, that's Chloe, but she ain't a puppy anymore. She's about 8 years old now and is still getting to know the R-Pod(sniffing and poking around and finding a comfortable spot).

Yes that was before we added a couple of chain links to the weight distributing spring bars. In the latter pictures it looks pretty level.

Nice pics. It might be an illusion, but in your 2nd pic it looks like the pod is a bit nose-up. Its best to get that level or slightly nose-down, I've found nose-down to be best.

The Cheyenne Camping Center treated us to a celebratory bottle of champagne for our purchase. All hitched up and ready to go World's biggest truck stop Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas, but it sure looks like it After a restful night in the R-Pod at a truck stop, we're ready to get back to Atlanta parked back at home |

Some notes about towing the R-Pod with a 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L.
I was able to drive without locking out overdrive(D3). I installed a B&M plate and fin cooler for the transmission so I think it should prevent burning anything up. I think I will add a gauge to indicate ATF temperature before the cooler. Have not installed a power steering cooler and still don't think that I need one. When we first towed it off the lot, the ride was very jerky, which we were able to solve mostly by adding 2 more links on the spring bars for the weight distribution system and loosening the anti-sway bars about an 1/8 of a turn each. Used midgrade(89) octane for most of the trip. When I switched to regular for a tank, the check engine light turned on about after going through about 3/4 tank. Used my phone and bluetooth OBD2 dongle to read the code and found low O2 voltage on bank 2. Switched back to midgrade and the light eventually cleared itself. Braking seemed predictable, but I feel every pound of this trailer. The rear suspension feels too soft so I am thinking about getting some adjustable air bags for the rear coil springs to help the load handling.

Congrats and welcome. Lived in the ATL area about a dozen years, 10-in Woodstock (Town Lake). Miss it for the warmer Spring, Fall and winter.
Good luck and enjoy.

Just got home. It's been a manic trip taken at a frantic pace, but we brought her home safe and sound. I'll try to get some pics posted soon.
