It would be tough on steep grades, you could do it but you would have to figure out what gear it wants to pull in and manualy keep it in that gear till you top the grade to keep trans temp down. I would consider gear change youre next mod if you get any trailer. the Livin Lite 10.0 is 1050lbs. from the factory if you load lite you should do ok we were loaded pretty heavy when we went to colorado but we packed for a 3.5 week trip. I know it's a three hour trip but if you want to tow one fully loaded you could drive to toledo and tow mine.

I mostly just pull mine locally with the jeep... For long hauls we use the Tundra.

It'll also float, when loaded-

Is there a good amount of room on the inside? They look tiny in all the pictures. I'd love to get one of those or a Little Guy trailer.

Pick up a 416, or a CDN 101 and mount a roof top tent to it.

That's what I did. Spent a bit of $$ but the RTT is already on it, and I just need to pick it up and go! Am very excited. Only down side is I don't get to pick it up until I go down to Vancouver BC in mid June. But here's a picture of what it looks like. From looking at everyone else's trailers (here and on expo) I had a bunch of mods that I want to do to it... But for now, it's all ready for my 2 week vacation once I pick it up and bring it home.

If one is seriously considering the Mopar one... it's just a Mopar branded Fleetwood (?) trailer. At least I think it was a Fleetwood, with some very minor changes - at close to twice the cost. I'm sure someone on here can confirm which version the Mopar one is based off of.
