Default New Camper Trailer for Jeep!!!

I stopped by the local Camper-trailer store today to check out the little aluminum pop-ups by Livin' Lite, and the dealer told me about a new trailer that will be hitting the market soon. They're making a trailer specifically for Jeep that has the "Trail Rated" badge and everything. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting one when I get back from my Military training this summer, but y'all post up if anybody gets one!!!
I want to see these things in action!

do you know what brand it was so we can watch for this. I was thinking about putting a heavy axle and large tires under a pop up as a custom job but have not gotten to it this sounds neat

I don't know if it is the same one you are talking about but Jeep had one in Moab at their Jeep/Mopar display. I am pretty sure it was either Jeep or Mopar brand.

Those trailers look really wide, or I am just used to seeing the m416.

OK, so I like the trailer, love it in fact. But here's a dumb question from a guy thats been around Jeeps for 50 years. I assume the ring hitch helps when off-roading eh? So the conventional ball type hitch wouldn't allow for the flex of boulders right?

Interesting. Did anyone see one tricked out with a spare tire mount or racks for gas cans, etc?

It's called a pintle hook hitch and yes, they do allow for more aggressive off roading. I will never tow with a ball hitch again. I lost a trailer and all my stuff even my Ford Fairlane because of a ball hitch and a U-Haul technician that failed to hook it up properly.
