Expert Reply:
The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System part # FA92-00-0800 which is rated for 800 lbs will work just fine on a Forest River R-Pod R195. It will give you more margin for loading the trailer heavier as well as placing more stuff in the truck bed. I have spoke with Fastway before on this and they usually always say to use the higher rated system or the next size up.
Don't forget the 2" Hitch Ball part # EQ91-00-6080.
