LOST JEEPS :: View topic - Should I have an Off road trailer behind my KJ

I like where they mounted the spare :twisted:

but yeah, that is a sweet set up

Looks good!

The first thoughts I had was:

- It's like a tent on wheels.
- Would take longer to setup than a teardrop, but would be easier to get dressed in than a teardrop.
- Should be more 'trail rugged' than a teardrop.
- Wouldn't be as warm on a cold day as a teardrop.
- Would have more room to sit in if the weather was nasty out than a teardrop.

So I guess it comes down to what your looking for in a camper.

Add 2" lift blocks, throw on some 235/75R15 tires, add an awning, and a futon mattress.

Yeah, but this is sooo cool!

Tow vehicle aint to shabby either.

What kind of axles are they using under them I wonder?

isn't that the Astro with the 502?
I really like that one.

granted the vette did beat it in the 1/4 mile - but it wasn't far behind

If I could get one of those for just a few grand, I'd do it. I want to build my own but that would be hard to pass up.

Wait...is it used? What is the condition?

Brand spanking new, been sitting in a heated storage in Atlanta, I was runner up bidder on Ebay half off the already marked down price, hard to pass up in a way :wink:

I have a friend Tom that did his own tent trailer. Saved himself a ton of cash. It turned out super nice as well. I'll get some pics and info on it later and post them up.

And yes I could build my own but pricing out the RTT I want and awning theres 2000 , then with the build of the trailer itself storage containers etc where I can grab this whole setup for just a little more. I have always been a build it myself type of person but... Have to admit that the Astro van(s) would be cool!

You HAVE to buy that! The way I read their website, all the features are standard (no a-la-carte features). There are a LOT of features on those things! If that is true (all of them are "loaded"), it is SO worth $4000!! My favorite standard feature? "Mini Bar".
