Off Road Tent trailer

There is a comparison/review of a bunch of trailer/campers in the latest issue of Overland Journal. I just got the issue a couple days ago and haven't had a chance to read it yet.
 
I am getting me a Chaser in the future, and move my roof top tent to it.

The Tent Trax ones are pretty nice, and have the tent already on them.
Good video on their site too.

Yes, the new Overland Journal has a very good review on trailers this issue.
 
Outlander had a few of their trailers on display at the Razorback Ramble this year. Everything looked well thought out, and the quality was top notch.
 
So..... can these be towed fully loaded with a 60 that still has it's 2f engine? Or will they be too heavy to really get any use out of them off road for lite camping? It only has 80,000 miles and is desmoged.

Thanks Much

How big are you looking?

The Fleetwood Evolution trailers are pretty decent looking, but I've never spent any time with one except walking through the E4.

I seriously doubt that a 2F can tow any of the Evo trailers from Fleetwood. Heck, I doubt even if a 1FZ-FE can tow these bad boys at a decent speed over mountain passes. Going 15 mph with flashers on doesn't count :flipoff2:

Tent trailers like Evolution and Baja are tall, wide and heavy. They're made to stay on fire road type trails; otherwise, they're too bulky to navigate tight trails and do any serious offroading.

Your choice of off road trailers are many but you'll need to narrow down what features you're looking for. Do you want a RTT or a larger cabin? If RTT is your chocie, the Conquest and AT trailers are good candidates. If you want a traditional tent cabin like setup and change clothes standing up then a Kimberly or Kamparoo might be in order.

These are NOT off road trailers. Ali hit the nail on the head, don't plan on anything tougher than a Forest service road while towing one. I spent some time looking at the Baja et al and decided they weren't that much different than the standard offering except for the price. That's when I went shopping for a plain Jane trailer to modify, The Goony Bird. Make no mistake it is NOT an off road trailer, what it is though is a trailer that can do anything the Baja or Evo can do at a fraction of the cost.

You will be sad if you try to tow an Adventure trailer or Kimberly. I've heard the engine in a 100 series scream pulling a Horizion up a grade. IMHO you might be able to tow an 8' box pop up that has been modified (as above) for "fire roads", at least that is what I'm hoping:grinpimp:

I don't even know the Goony bird is behind the 100, on hills, passing or at the gas pump. We haven't towed it behind the FJ60 yet but the 60 is such a pig I doubt a small trailer like the Bird will make an appreciable difference in performance.
