Here are a few pictures of the Evolution trailer that we use. I had to setup the screen room in the driveway for the first time but now it only takes about 5 minutes to get setup.
Our 12 Rubi with 4:10's pulls it great. We do use a Equalizer hitch and prodigy brake controller.

Here's mine 28' weekend warrior. With my 07 jku 2.5 teraflex Rockhard bumpers
Needless to say my Chevy HD pulls it. But hey. They are both made in America.

I love my Superchips tuner. I've been pulling my 20', 3,000 lbs. dry weight trailer all over California using it. I've pulled up to Big Bear Lake and even to Lake Tahoe. The pull coming up out of Tahoe is probably as tough a climb as you'll find anywhere. I can tell you there was a huge difference after I changed to 33" tires though. I pulled like a champ on my stock 32's. I've thrown in a few other performance mods (see my sig) to help, but that tuner is definitely worth the money. I got it primarily for towing, but I use the performance tune for everyday driving and the crawl tune when playing in the rocks.

2012 Liviin Lite 10.0 pop up
We purchased our popup new in Aug 2011 we used it Labor Day week end and loved it. When we bought it we knew we didnt want to sleep on the ground [late 40's] and we wanted to be able to get deep into the rough country. Enter Livin Lite they build Mopars Jeep pop up camper we wanted a bigger version so we got there 10.0 ft. model. It only weighs 1050 lbs. bone dry. They are very spartan inside but that suited us just fine as we were planning a long range expedition from Mi. to Col. In true jeep tradition I had to lift a camper that already had a offroad suspension a additional 2.25 in. so I could run my stock Rubi tires and wheels I also added a tool box to the tongue and 2 jerry cans. I also fabed My own out of a u-joint from a PTO sfaft for a tractor. The whole rig jeep, trailer, 2 people and all the gear and food for a 3 week expedition weighed in at 7400 lbs. before filling jerry cans. The 3.8l did preaty good it averaged about 14.5 mpg. running 35 MTZ's with 4.10 gears. I still had 6th gear 6 to 8% grades knocked me down to 45mph but I didnt scream the rpm's. I also didnt nave any overheating issues in 100+ degree weather. Hear are some pictures of our campsites no water no elec. no services just a hacked out campsite on BLM land just the way we like it [no fees also]. I will be starting My own thread soon titled 2 door expedition to Colarado.
