I bought my Jeep new in 2005, and I always had the idea of a trailer, but time and money. I made plenty of trips out west with what would fit in the back of the Jeep and strapped to the spare tire. Last month I spent two weeks roaming around Utah with my trailer and I love it! It just makes camping more comfortable, especially with the RTT vs. a ground tent.
Camping along Lake Powell:
After climbing the mesa at the start of Gemini Bridges trail outside of Moab. This was trail was in rough condition from recent rain, but the trailer just followed along. It's like my tree house on wheels.
This was before the trailer...
