Loveit, I've hadit for over 5 years now and as usual, I've modified it extensively-It's amazing how much it'll carry and still be completely maneuverable by one man, no matter where you end up-
I've driven into a deadend and couldn't back out, so each time I was able to unhitch the trailer and move aside and stand on end and then backout--great little camper
It'll also float, when loaded-

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.
