I went thru the same thought process of RTT versus ground tent. Pros and Cons either way
I wound up with this, which has it's own set of pros and cons

Question to those who have actually pulled their trailer off-road.
I have a Tentrax trailer, about 700 pounds empty, maybe 1000 when full. To me, the tongue, 2" x 2" x 1/4", 'feels' like it needs reinforcing.
I'm not worried at all about hiway driving, but more concerned about the...
NRS straps have the looped ends, yes, but DO NOT have the roller, which is essential to the performance you want in a tie down. Cascaderivergear.com has the roller design PLUS the looped ends. That's the one you want.
on the security side of things, I'm trying a product from Ottolock.com. They are not meant to 'secure' cargo, in the sense of 'fastening tightly' or 'tieing down'. They are meant to 'secure' cargo or objects from theft. Also, my use so far has been inside the vehicle, protected from the...
I use Roller Cam straps - rollercam.com
Never lost anything I've tied down, and that includes pelican cases on the jeep rack going thru some very rough trails as well as hauling down the interstate at 85 mph.
Here's a previous posting from me (bluejeep) that shows the easy modification I...

Expensive, but good photography usually is. Many online reviews about the loooong wait for the product, and questionable customer service explanations / responses.
But more good reviews on the more recent purchases and newer revision (SoloShot 3).
Some of the reviews...
Dometic wants $88 + $25 shipping for their AC adapter to power my CDF - 11 frig. Seems like a lot.
Has anyone found and successfully used an AC adapter that costs less?
Previously I owned a TJ, and mounted it in the driver's side footwell, against the left hand wall. In my LJ now I mounted it on the floor along side the passenger seat - see pic. Not sure what amperage it pulls. Of course it has a 'surge' right at start up where it momentarily pulls higher...
yep, done it this way for years. I currently have a 1200 watt inverter, and the compressor I got from Harbor Freight. 1/2 hp. Pumps up my 35 x 12.5 tires just fine. Best thing I like about it (in addition to having electricity for grinders and etc) the compressor spins at a much slower speed...
my son moved out of his apt and didn't want his ikea 'floating shelf' anymore. I cut the support (aluminum extrusion) to mount around the side nerf bar on my Tentrax trailer, slid in a piece of FRP I had, and tada instant camp table. Should easily hold whatever I use around the campsite, and is...
I have been offroading since 97 but now want to start documenting my adventures on the trail, just for my own viewing, not official publishing or anything. Got a couple of questions about the basics. Typically I am on the trail independently, no passenger and not in a group
Budget $200 -...

coming in late to the game - oh well, my apologies. I built a trailer that I used to tow my jeep to events. It was heavy duty, being that the load was 4500 - 5000 lbs.
Used firestone airbags, and designed it so the back of the trailer sat on the ground when I...
Out for a test run with the trailer in tow. A little surprising on the hiway, the jeep did much better towing at 70 mph than anticipated. Kudos to the AEM CAI and Banks exhaust system. Off road I did some mild stuff. Also encountered one nasty rocky off camber muddy uphill. Engaged the...
I bought a MileMarker 2 speed 10k hydraulic winch. One of the benefits to it is that it involves more to remove (well, not a lot - just 2 hoses) but it also involves more to put on another vehicle. You would need to disassemble your power steering system, obtain 2 new longer hoses...
