Mizedog just in - thinking of a Jeep tear/trailer...

[mizedog]

Hey all. I've been excited about the teardrop/tiny trailer concept for a couple of months now. I've got a 30 year old Jeep CJ-7 that I'm tired of tent camping from. So, hopefully I can create my own mild outback Jeep trailer/tear/camper/ non-tent-thing.
My hope is to have something ready for a week's stay in Moab, Utah for the 2007 Easter Jeep Safari. I'll be at a full service campground with all my club pals.

Any Jeep/trail trailer info would be great.

Oh, just relocated from warm Southern California to Colorado Springs. So, non-tent/canvas is looking even better.

Sounds like a cool project. Make sure when you go to moab you don't try to take your teardrop up that steep rock face that is so famous.

Welcome to the site.

Good luck with the build.

Have you read any of this info yet? It' a good place to start.

I don't take my trailer offroad but I do tow it with my Jeep. We usually go to the Silver Lake sand dunes in Michigan.

Welcome to the forum.

There are a few of us Jeepers here that have/want/are building a TD style camper for our particular needs, sometimes primative or hookup at a campground. Like many of us, camping is outside and not inside. Read over the suggested forum subject and get ideas. Take a scroll look through the Australian off-road campers/trailers for ideas. Strong suggestion: keep it light!

When I went looking for a small camper to pull with my 4cyl TJ, I found Dave's site. This looked promising. http://tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?t=10923

Do you recall the off-road pop-up that was advertised couple years ago from the Easter Jeep Safari? A lot of different style pop-ups are coming out to meet that market now.

Welcome Mize,
Full service campground sounds like a lot of potential. You will find many different styles here and if that don't suit ya, design your own.

Like MJ says, we need da pics.
