Re: New Poster - New Tower - Pre TT buyer
So first things first, we are looking into replacing the receiver. and upgrading to a 7pin plug from the 4 pin we have. Thanks for all the info guys! The wife stopped by a RV Repair place, and talked to a manager there, and gave here some good information, that we will use as well moving forward. Also, I guess I need to look for a Break Controller.... T465Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Poster - New Tower - Pre TT buyer
the R-Pod does have electric brakes. i also find it strange that your car has the factory tow package but a 1 1/4 receiver. that doesn't sound right. sounds like it doesn't have the real factory tow package. It has what came installed from the dealer, and the truck had about 12 miles on it. It is also wired, just can not remember if it is a 4 flat or 7 pin T465Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Poster - New Tower - Pre TT buyer
Thanks for al the input so far. We are good to go with the style (hardside) for where we are camping in Yellowstone. Can not get in touch with the guy at the RV place to verify if the RPod has breaks, he said it did not, but he may have just been talking about the Scamp. At this point, I think, even though it is smaller, the Scamp might be my choice for my first pull. That is if it does not cost too much to replace the tow package to the 2 inch.

Good morning and first off thank you in advance. I looked but did not see an introduction Forum, if there is one please point me there :B We are about to rent a TT for a trip from Colorado Springs to Yellowstone. We have great resources for low price rentals through the various Military Bases here in the Springs. We are using this as a way to test out different TT before we buy at the end of the season. My main question is on how heavy of a TT can I tow? I have a 2014 Chevy Equinox with a tow rating of 3500#, it is the AWD V6, LT2 with Tow Package. It has either a Class I or II hitch mount with the 1 1/4" receiver We are looking at 2 different trailers: RPod 171 : Hitch weight 225# Base Weight 2205# RPod Link Scamp 13' Hitch Weight 100# Base Weight 1200-1500# Scamp Link The owners manual says that the towing cap is only 1000# if the trailer does not have breaks, and neither of these do. For the record, there is only a $50 difference in the weekly rental price between the 2, and the RPod is MUCH nicer...lol Are either of theses doable? Thanks for the time you took to read this, and for any and all help I get. Tim3.3KViews0likes14Comments
