RV Towing

Here is another recommendation for Casita fiberglass trailers. This 2014 16ft is about 2,200lbs empty and I suspect about 3,200 fully loaded and it has a kitchen with fridge and microwave plus bathroom with shower. Sits six and sleeps three.

It hauls like a dream and I use an Anderson No Sway hitch. I put air bags in my rear shocks and run about 25lbs in those then use the adjustments on the hitch to do the final leveling on the truck. There are several other brands of fiberglass trailers that are similar to the Casita that have all the benefits of the leak proof fiberglass shell and light weight.

I put a 3" lift on this trailer and it handles mild off roading just fine.

Sumo Springs makes a neat kit that helps keep the TT from bouncing too much. They may be worth a look since you take your tt off road.

I put them on my TT just for normal road driving and can say they make a difference in the bounce I feel in the single axle.

I believe the Casita (like Scamps, Airstreams, Geo/E-Pros, and a number of other trailers) uses a torsion axle, not leaf. Those Sumo springs for trailers will only work on leaf-sprung axles.

I pull a Scamp and have sumo springs, only I put the sumo's on the JT not the trailer.

I have a Max Tow pulling 3000lb NuCamp Tab 400. Great info in this thread. Even with just 3000lbs don’t plan on getting in a hurry, if you get over 2600 rpm the truck is screaming. You might see the Jeep going back and forth from 7 & 8 gear. Once I get settled and have a good cruise speed set I’ll switch to manual and run in 7 or 8 depending on my speed and revs.

If it’s you and your wife and want a super nice camper, get an RPOD.

I have the 189 it’s dry weight is 2950

get an equalizer hitch. Towing is way better with proper weight distribution
