2023 JT Mojave Sarge
Occupation
Hard Labor
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.

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.

What’s work?
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.

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
