    I bought the trailer! I tow with a Bronco sport. Been a blast. My complaint is the air conditioner cabinet and plug outlet inside the cabinet. Difficult to clean the ac filter.

    I love this little unit. It would be awesome if this floor plan was made as a single person full time unit! Take that back bed area and make that top bunk as cupboards instead for storage. For a full timer that does the South in the winter and the North in the Summer they maybe could make it work as is. I would try it for sure.... Get some good solar on the roof and a hot spot, what more would one need? Love it....

    Being near $30k MSRP is just too much for a travel trailer this size. A lot of good mid-sized RV's are in this price range. If it was half that price, it would be pretty competitive. I like the idea of a smaller footprint with bunk beds, and like you said, it's a good trailer for a day out at the beach or something.

    Great little unit. I would like to see a narrow two burner cooktop to allow for more counter space. Maybe one slide out tray or drawer for utensils. Thicker bunk mattress if possible. Slightly bigger fridge/freezer. Outside propane hookup for a griddle. Would like to see a better moisture resistant door in the bathroom along with a little waterproof storage and shower surround material, mirror, maybe a flip up sink? Maybe a better fan for ventilation. Maybe collapsible ladder prep for roof access. Add a high shelf between the AC and the front wall. Not sure about that table leg hardware.

    I'm going to Ohio this weekend to look at one, and probably bring it home. I watched a video tour of their manufacturing facility, and it does look rock solid. After a few years, I'd probably tear a lot of the interior out and rebuild it, make it more useful. I agree with comments on the vertical rather than horizontal placement of the burners, and that wet bath door just doesn't look like it would last too long. I'll be towing with a 2022 Colorado, so it will be well within the capabilities of the truck.
    I already have a summer trip planned, with reservations at a state park in New York. If I get my passport in time, I'll pop up to Canada to visit a friend, before heading over to Maine to see a buddy. I think this will easily fit my needs.

      If the host is right about the GVWR, a Wrangler Unlimited would be able to tow it (3500 lb. tow rating).
      That said, I don't know the tongue weight of this camper. Depending on how much weight you have in the Jeep, it's possible the tongue weight of the camper would put you over the payload capacity of the Jeep.
      For example, my JKU has a payload capacity of 850 lbs. If I was to try to tow something while carrying myself, my wife, and our kids in the Jeep, the tongue weight of the trailer/RV/whatever would have to be comically low in order to stay within payload capacity.

    You should not really test small trailers. Your attitude is so preoccupied that it is annoying! The remark about the"day trailer" tells it all! Not everyone needs your 50' palast on wheels, which has nothing to do with camping! Also your remarks about towing is just not adequate! There is a reason why a car manufacturer states a certain towing capacity. Of course it has an impact on your gas mileage. It makes no sense that you don't want to tow this trailer because it lowers your gas mileage. Are you trying to make us believe, that your behemoth you're towing does not affect your mileage or the behavior of your type vehicle? So I don't get your rant, it's useless and misleading.
