Congrats! Has anyone information regarding an upgrade kit for the folding table? I'd love one in my 172!

If we had kept the Pod we would have gone "sway" for sure.
We had a very level tow and still experienced sway with the Ridgeline. All vehicles react differently to tow. Don't pack the rear end to heavy, you'll be fine ! |

We got some mild sway on the 40-mile drive home from the dealer, which I attributed to the too-high hitch. Hope to find out this weekend if a lower hitch helps, or if sway control is in our future.
We love the Ridgeline too! Not quite as much as my Element, although for different reasons.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments! |

that table looks alot sturdier I broke a table in an R pod while shopping at a dealership
we ended up buying it you broke it you bought it. I am surprised they still have the little leg knicker that cuts my leg up even with the new table. I wonder if Forest River will sell the cabinet door for above the TV. |

Real Nice set-up Skooter .... We also towed our 177 with a Ridgeline.
I have to admit with the 177 being so "storage" challenged that loss of storage under the table is significant. IMHO all they needed do to was make the table more light-weight. This could be attained without sacrifice to the bed support structure integrity.
But that is a very kewl table option !!!!
We ended up totally removing that above-bed cabinet w/TV. Hit my head once to often, plus more room to remove mattress when winterizing. Bought a 22" TV and moved it around from table to stove-top.
Your tow does look a bit back-heavy, but Im sure reversing the hitch will get ya going the other way.
Good luck with the Honda TV ... Great vehicle !!! I still have my '06 and will never give it up short of robbery. Luv It !!! I believe it will be getting around 10mpg, and lack some "umph" at times, but they are well made and equipped for towing ...
Keep us informed, and thanks for the pics !!
