This is my T@B trailer:
I haven't towed the trailer with the new Jeep yet, but I will, as the trailer weighs less than 1,400 lbs, so I am still within towing range with the new 2-dr. I would really like to have a Chaser trailer (or similar) to match my Rubicon, and my husband would like a larger travel trailer to tow behind his pickup. But we do a fair amount of tent camping as well, so for now we'll probably stick with the T@B trailer for a while.

I am curious about the 2 and 4 door difference. Any results/experiences yet?

I haven't towed it with the new 2-door yet. My 2-dr. seems to have more power than my 4-dr. did (probably since it's lighter--gearing is the same), so powerwise the 2-dr should be better. But how the short wheelbase will affect handling is what I'm interested to see. For stability, it seems like the longer wheelbase 4-dr. would definitely be better. It will probably be a while until I tow it with the Jeep, because now that we have a truck, we usually tow it with that, so we can take our motorcycles too. But I may hook it up to the Jeep and take it for a short spin soon, just to see how it feels.

I'd go with the Adventure Trailers Habitat. At $6000.00 it's not a bad deal, especially if you only have a soft top. 
With some of the other options you could be back country camping in no time.

There are precautions for camping in bear country--anyone doing so should learn them. I would not consider being off the ground much protection. In fact, I'd consider it the opposite if it involves being on top or near your Jeep because a bear may very well be attracted to your Jeep from the McDonalds' French Fry that got dropped under the seat last month. They have very sensitive smell, and are very curious when they smell something strange. Batteries, toothpaste, food (duh!), film (okay, not something many folks carry anymore), deodorant, foot powder, chapstick, water bottles used for other than water (Gatorade, etc), and on and on have all been suspected to provoke bear/human encounters. The best protection is to use gear that has strictly controlled when around "smellables", and to store all smellables in an approved bear container. Sleeping on top of your Jeep runs contrary to that unless you're very careful about what you allow in/around your Jeep. You might as well carry a bear fence with you (ht tp://www.udap.com/bearshock.htm).
