Show us what camper / trailer / RV you're towing with your JT

[Deadpool392]

Just bought my Modern Buggy 12LRK last week, went to PA from NC to get it. While I was up there went to AOAA and ran their Badge of Honor trails, worth the time for those in the area.

I started with my 2020 JT Rubicon on 35" tires and a Winnebago Micro Mini 2106DS, running at about 4000#. I did not like it and felt that my Jeep didn't like it either. Was getting about 9mpg and seemed like it struggled on any little hill. I don't know how you that pull equivalent or even more put up with it. More power to you though.

I upgraded the Jeep to a 23 Mojave and downgraded the camper to a 23 Aliner Scout, running less than 2000#. I have been a tent camper my whole life so this feels perfect for me. The Micro Mini was to big. The Aliner is on that area of almost a tent, but with a/c and heat, hard sided, running water and the ability to stand up and walk around. I will probably sell my tent.

2021 Winnebago Minnie 2529RG. It has a single slide. Weighs 6200 empty. Pulls great. Had to add sway system to be able to pull it above 55 mph

Sunlite 16', 2480 lbs. dry. P.O. had the 'off-road suspension' so it is 2-3" higher than I would like and catches a bunch of wind. Probably 4K miles on it now. Stock Rubicon with 34" tires, usually; sometimes my 35's if towing plus off roading.
TIP: I gained 1.5 mpg and moved the sweet spot from 63 mph to 72 mph by going to high test gas. The mpg gain made it sensible for the pocket and the extra mph makes trips a lot nicer.

It has a dry bath, meaning and actual shower stall next to the toilet.

Little Guy teardrop. It's been a very nice upgrade from tent life for sleeping comfort and travel/camp convenience. Been very happy with how easy it is to tow too. After I couple years i am considering a change to an Aliner A frame style camper. I'd like to be able to make coffee and breakfast inside if the weather is crummy....oh and stand up to put on pants. Not sure of Aliners durability yet.

We had the same set up and upgraded to the Min-Max specifically for a bathroom.

we are happy with the upgrade.

My 2022 NuCamp Tab 400, 3000lbs. Pulls great, 14mpg flats 12 hills. Getting ready for summer camping and head out for the long haul west hopefully in fall.

I don’t tow a camper, just a 7x14 aluminum trailer usually with a 570 Sportsman, Kodiak 700 and my son’s KFX50. Total gross of trailer is 2400. It does ok, but not great. I’m patient so it isn’t that annoying, I’m a get there when we get there type. If I go any decent distance with those ATVs I tend to use my 5.9L Grand Cherokee. I added a 3/4 spacer in the rear to just help with deflection. Suspension isn’t the best but engine wise it does not care what’s behind it. Just have to load the trailer right. As for a camper the point of this thread. I have been really toying with the idea of finding a wrecked(preferably front or front sides) totaled sting grey JT and whacking the bed off. From there I’m not sure. Maybe bed rack and tent, maybe just an ARE shell or something. Haven’t made it that far other than a matching trailer bed to the truck, with same wheels truck has now would look sick.

We just bought the JT about 3 weeks ago…..and took a ‘test’ run with the boat. It towed nicely (as expected). 2024 Mojave…. The boat weighs about 3,500lbs. We’ll be fishing almost every weekend all summer. Can’t wait…

Cruiser Hitch 16RD, typically right around 4,000lbs and use a WDH. Sitting at about 2k miles so far in triple digit heat, gusty winds, and up/down Colorado mountains, the '21 JTRD has pulled it no problem.

Here's when we picked up our 2023 ModernBuggy 12LRK back in October with my 21 Max Tow. I'll get some new pics this weekend with my 23 Punkn Rubi.

Wow... so jealous of you guys. So it seems you need somewhere around 25k - 30k to get in the game pretty decent, unless you find a used barn find.

Does that sound about right ? Anyone have suggestions for a cheaper/begginer model that would atleast be comfortable ?

Depends on what your looking for. Wife and I bout a used Tiny Camper Rhino for 7k year and a half ago, used it and figured out what we liked and didn't like about it before we bought our ModBug.

Towed the aliner expedition ~3k pounds for awhile until the kids outgrew the front twin xl. Was super easy towing with the low height no wdh needed.

Now we recently moved to a 19.8 No Boundaries, ~4.3k pounds. Still pulls well but definitely needs a wdh

High Altitude Trailer Co. XT-50. Weighs 2,200#. Towed via a Lock-n-Roll articulating hitch.
