Default Tents, trailers, campers

Does anyone on here have a rooftop tent, or jeep trailer or small camper they pull. I have a 2011 2 Door and thinking about taking some trips with me and the wife trying to figure out what the best option is. Post pics and ideas

I just recently purchased a used popup that was towable weight wise for my jk. It is under 2000lbs and has a tongue weight of less that 200lbs. I was going to build a offroad trailer with a tent on it BUT the price I paid for the pop up was well under anything I could build. Also I now have room and the small amenities that comes with a pop up.

I pull this from time to time with a 2012 JK. April, 1945 Gemco WW2 trailer...

Full powder coat, flipped axle, 3 jerry's, riding on 33's, still has lunette ring w/ added coupler. I sleep in a hammock so haven't found the need to get one of those fancy tents...

Here is my trailer. It's a work in progress. Hoping to get it finished this weekend in time to take it to Jeep Beach. Installing Timbren axle less suspension, new fenders and ARB awning this weekend. Installed the Lock n Roll articulating coupler last Saturday.

This is an interesting topic for sure. I like the idea of having a trail capable pop up for overland use.

I've got a 12' popup camper (sets up to about 24') that I tow but I'm still interested in a much smaller trail capable one.

I have a camp trailer made from an old gmc bed. I've planned on mounting a roof top tent to it, but I also like the amenities a pop up trailer tent has. Undecided which direction I'm goin with it
