We don’t pickup our 179 until April but I have invested in an Anderson WDH as it includes sway control, means less weight for an old F—t to handle and very easy hook up and disconnect. I am also considering the electronic anti-sway control that Stephen recommended for his very good point that if sway gets going I would probably not have time/presence of mind to use the manual brake activation on the Techonsha brake control. |
The Andersen will work great for the R-Pod, and light travel trailers in general. I used one for a little over a year of R-Pod camping, and it definitely dampens the vertical bounciness "porpoising" from tongue weight.
I also never had sway issues, whether not using any sway control devices, or a friction style sway control, or the Andersen WD system.
I only bought the Andersen because of the ease of setup (clamp on frame brackets), lighter weight, and ease of connecting (electric tongue jack). It isn't cheap when new.
