I've always thought a hitch would be good to have in the front for backing, but these new trucks are nothing but plastic in the front. So that means a heavy install charge. Really like the camera idea.
I wonder if there is way to clip a camera on the of the truck for hitching up, then be able to move it to the back of the pod for backing. I know the camera can transmit wireless, but how to power it. I think they use power from the lights? Which means wire connections. Just some thoughts. Lee |

It works really great if your TV can handle it, we always had one on our motor homes to lunch the boat.

Put a hitch on the front of the car. Don't have to be a high price one but when your ready to back into campsite. Don't use that myself but seen it done and seem to work great.

We'll be there late afternoon / early evening Thursday Yizit. But you know how campers are. They'll be beggin to back it in for ya as soon as you pull up !!! Knowing Outbound, he'll make you do it yourself just so he can say " See ..... I told ya you could do it !!! " (and he'll be right, again!) |

For hitching up the r-pod when I'm alone, I use the Easy Hitch. It makes things much, much easier.

Ted is awesome at driving any vehicle...to the truck, to a Class A RV, to towing the R-Pod..
He is great at backing the rpod up and lining up the hitch...I could never do it...(good thing I don't have to)
