Look at these two on ebay.
Item number :140731962539 and 140730949908

That will give you a starting point. We got a Flagstaff 620ST and love it. Tow it with a 2012 2 door auto with 4.10 gears.

Hope it helps.

Wow those are completely awesome!! Thanks! We did have a F250 and we were searching for a 5th wheel but these are probably and MOST likely a better towing experience!

Welcome to the forum,

There are a couple of jeep/camper threads, here is one.

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...65-Campers-pic

Check out www. popupportal. com it is a good pop up camper site, there are a few Jeepers on the site ( a couple of us local PA people are on both JK-Forum and the popupportal)

We have a Coleman Taos we pull with my 2 door but it probably a little too small for a family of 5. I see you are in Lancaster, we are about 40 min south in Oxford, if you do get a camper we are planning a popup camping trip to French Creek in September with some members of popupportal.

Also look at the Fleetwood evolution line. We have one and it is great! It's capable of light offloading and with a tire swap will be good to go a little further off road...

I used to have a Bayside Elite by Coleman. Had a GVRW of 3600lbs. Towed it with no problems but I have 4:88's and installed a brake controller. That is one of the biggest pop-up's out there.
Happy camping!
