Thanks. Love the trailer.. Works great. Actually built the trailer before I got the pop up. Was a little worried at first about weight on my truck, but it does just fine. Anything we dont need quick access to we keep in the trailer, extra water,food,chainsaw,tools. I figure this way I can keep some weight out of the back of my truck and tow it instead. Also like it because I don't have to unload the kayaks everytime we want to pop the top. One thing I will do is add brakes to the trailer for a little more piece of mind though.

93 Phoenix "Basic Model" Pop Up
Just picked up this '93 Phoenix Pop Up over the weekend. It is in very good condition for its age....stove and refrigerator work well. The little water pump need replacing. The main reason is to take the family of 5 to Yellowstone next summer so that we don't have to tow a trailer (and the wife doesn't want to sleep in tents with the bears
! ). As you can see, it is a full 8ft, and looks a little gawdy sitting on my 5.5ft short bed truck. This camper only weighs 850 dry, so I'm not too worried about the weight on the tailgate. Although, if anyone has any additional comments on that, please share. Besides fixing the water pump, I need to come up with a good way to tie down the camper. When I brought it home, I just used heavy duty tie down/ratchet straps for the 3 hour journey........camper did not move at all. I'd feel more comfortable with a better tie down system for the full trip to Yellowstone and back.

850 pounds with an AC out the back, stove, fridge and a water tank? A new 8' Grandby "empty shell" lists at 950 pounds and that is optimistic. I would take it to a scale and get front and rear axel weights.
Uphill and hard acceleration it looks like you could pull a wheelie. ;-) Looks real clean for a '93

these are old pics from 2010..but thats my skamper on a 6ft bed..stock suspension..I think the 8ft on a 6ft bed is pretty slick as it gains you space you wouldnt otherwise have.
(and yes I do know it needed some Timbrens to level it out better)
I was certainly skeptical of the 850lb weight as well when the guy told me; however, he also handed over the original paperwork and brochure and it lists it at 850 dry. Granted, this does not include the AC as it was added on later.
