The best hitch for your 2012 Forest River R-Pod 177 is going to be the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch item # E-100. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your R-Pod's rear bumper with included hardware.

The Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch item # E-100 has a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs gross towing weight and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch is made in the USA and weighs only 11 lbs.

I have linked an installation video below so you can see what this hitch will look like once installed and the easy process to get it hooked up to your bumper.
