Roof racks for kayaks and bikes. Wired for a battery, inverter, 120VAC 30A. LED lights. Super fantastic vent fan. Doubles as a utility trailer. Back door ramp to be able to load large stuff like lawn mower. Four tie downs inside. 5'x8' aluminum floor. 4' inside height. Works perfect for the two of us. We just wanted hard sides, low maintenance, trailer easily with the two door or four door (light and small frontal area), and a dry comfortable place to sleep. I did a 4" lift on it. Microlite trailers is the manufacturer. Cargolite is the model.

I saw these the other day on the google machine. That is exactly what I need. I always travel with the kids and their quads. That would be perfect. Too bad the closest dealer is 1000 miles away. Wait, smells like a road trip.

I have mad respect for the 4x4's down under, I found this while looking at off road trailers. It help make up my mind on going with a off road trailer over a roof rack/tent combo.

Default Chalet LTW

I just bought this today, can't wait to pick it up next week. 1220 lbs dry weight.....shouldn't exceed 1450lbs fully loaded (propane, water, gear). The 2 dr Rubi should do great pulling this. It has air conditioning, heater, fridge, shower, stove, stereo, lift, all terrain tires, etc. It sets up in less than 1 minute.

Looks good I've been looking at the Aliners. They look are a similar to the one you purchased.

Yep.....after the first night that I showed up and winds were at 60+ mph, I made up my mind I was going to get something to pull behind the Jeep. Makes camping so much easier too, all the gear is already there, just load the fridge and drive away.

I would have been happy with an Aliner Sport model or the Chalet LTW; both are very similar and owners of each swear by them.
