I’m on the fence on a critical decision. I have been looking at several YouTube channels that talk about overlanding and Jeeps. “The Story til Now”, “Ozark Outdoor Adventures”, and a couple others. I don’t mind tent camping. I like to camp in the spring and fall, summer can be too hot and humid. But then you’re talking about an RV trailer to get A/C…and I’m not thinking I want that.
I’m more interested in the RTT system. Here are my thoughts concerning this, and I’m looking for Real World Experience (RWE) on either point.
There are 2 ways to go with a RTT: rack on vehicle, or rack/trailer being towed behind the vehicle. I have a Gladiator, so I’m looking at either a half-rack, or some type of “adventure” type trailer.
It seems, to me, that setting up camp with a RTT ON the vehicle could be problematic if you are trying to use said vehicle to go wheeling, exploring, running to the store…because you have to pack up the tent EVERYTIME you drive somewhere. That…can be a PITA. Adventure trailer…you put the RTT on it…and you can leave it and drive off, then come back later.
Just looking for various perspectives.
