We bought our 178 in June. Tow it with a Sierra small 8 with WDH and sway bars. Put a lift kit on the Pod and when driving I keep looking back to make sure it is still there. Works extremely well.

Welcome. At the very least you should get a sway bar. They are cheap. However, even with a heavy-dity TV a WDH will give you a better ride and better control under extreme conditions.

With the F150 you fall in the category of "don't really need it, but might want it." Good luck on your trip home.

Well, here we go! We Take delivery on it tomorrow! Will be hauling it with an F 150 (v8). I am curious if anyone advises a weight distribution hitch and or the sway bar?
Folks at dealership advised not to worry about it at this time.
Will be enjoying this gem! First new rv we have purchased. So, Hello to all Loren |
