Maybe someday. For now I'll have to settle for watching you compete yours.I'll have to check it out this evening!!! I'm minutes away from having my diesel swap running for the first time!!!
I would imagine that would be factor but it might also be a great time to look into a diesel swap, more torque, longer range

A TJ sized camper
- Thread starter whitrzac
- Start date
So you can tow it with your TJ or Subaru to where you plan to camp. Unhook and then (with a TJ) go explore the area trails, or (with a Subaru) enjoy some fresh air as you eat your vegan meal with your labra-doodal.
Jerry,
Have you thought about an air ratchet? I think you have OBA, not sure if your set up would supply enough to make it work but it just came to mind.

I doubt you could tow a slide-in camper on a trailer with a TJ or a Subaru. Mine weighs over 4000 lbs loaded and it is a relatively light one (no slide-out, no A/C, no generator).
I still like this little tow behind 
I have a bunch of air tools that I tried, none worked well enough in all regards to use for the job. One kinda worked but it would have sucked too much CO2 out of my tank during the job to even consider it. The only non-CO2 OBA systems that could produce the CFM needed to run one are terribly expensive or something like a Sanden or York a/c compressor converted for OBA use like I had in my previous TJ. I'm not converting my Sanden for OBA use and it'd be too expensive (due to the current mounting bracket's insane cost) to install another York like I did in my previous TJ. I'll either continue using the crank or splurge on a big high-end battery powered 2-speed 3/8" drill.
You could alway do a tag axle camper like AMC offered in the 1960s.

That big of a trailer for a TJ would be as bad of an idea today as it was in 1969.
Started with this,
Graduated to this,
The Alite was 360lbs. empty, so it was super easy to tow.
Finally caved in and now roll with a bit more room. Once you get to the glamping stage it's hard to go back.

I don't think that is unreasonable at all. In fact I kind of want to do it just to do it, but I already have 3 trailers now.
According to google, I made it 241 miles with my teardrop on a single tank today. I would bet there's still a gallon/2 left in the tank, but not much
All interstate, 65-70mph. cruise set
I really wasn't babying it, or drafting
06, 4.0, 6spd, intake/exhaust/tune, 35s, 4in lift.
5th gear, 6th is useless until I regear.
Here's what I wanted ever since I got my 1st wrangler (sep 13, 1996). Just picked one up a few years ago. Made by Tentrax
Have you seen the new Trax Kitchen Tentrax is about to release? Bolts to the tongue; includes a fridge, sink with running water and lots of counter space... https://www.tentrax.com/new
Stowed; the enclosure is weather tight:
It's designed to bolt to the tongues of most trailers, but easily bolts to existing holes in the Tentrax tongue.
yep, it's nice. The new owners of Tentrax are doing a nice job of carrying the line forward, offering product that can be retro - fitted to existing units, and making sensible changes. The existing design as well as updated design can still easily be taken over the Rubicon Trail with confidence. Here's a link to my solo Rubicon adventure with the Tentrax in 2018 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg-nPjm_qgOOnG8BdL1nqHg?view_as=subscriber Exciting times!
Holy
! How could they get it that heavy? My thought was with my bad sciatic I need something low to get into, while still full height. And the older slide-ins are very affordable around my area. I'm due for a good idea.
Actually way over due.
The prototype Trax Kitchen undergoing testing, you can see it on the tongue of this Tentrax...
As far as clearance, shouldn't be an issue. (note - mine is an older version by Tentrax, some details differ on the newer ones, but the geometry is the same)
