Default Anyone own a Jeep Camper? Looking for feedback.

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the new Jeep Camper. What's your opinion? Can my Sport-S handle the haul?....would it be comfortable enough for two people? I have 3.73 gears.

I'm sure you could handle the tow. Looks like a great investment. If I would use one often I would make that purchase! Go for it!

This looks like a winner. Any cons to this set up (factoring out price)

The sticker price is 10-12K way way over priced. I tow a pop-up camper that has a ton more features only cost me 3k. A 2dr sport s with 3.73 can tow 2k pounds without any issues.

It looks cool and I will buy one if they cost $5000. For the price they ask for it, they can keep it.

I have one of the similar models from livin lite. They make them for jeep. It is super light, would be great for two people. Can't see your location from my phone, but if you are ever near se south dakota I would et you check it out.

No way I would pay 10k. Maybe half that. Would sell mine if offered near that but it is a 2008. My unlimited rubi doesn't even know it is back there when towing. My kids are growing, soon it will need to be replaced by their larger model, but for now it works great!

For the price I'd go with a used Fleetwood Evolution E1 or E2. You get toilet, shower, and an AC optional. I pull my E2 from Texas to Florida with no problems and probably as off road capable as the Jeep one in my opinion.

I'm going to have a look at the Evolution E1 and compare price and quality. Thanks for the info.
