JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Got a new Camper!!!

Well I picked it up this afternoon. It's a Starcraft Travel Star Sport 18RB. The trailer has two flip out beds and a full bathroom. It only weighs 2600 lbs. We're taking it to Stone Mountain this weekend to break it in. Morris Mountain will be her maiden trail ride in 2 weeks with the GATrailriders. I can't wait.

I was trying to decide between this and Fleetwood's Evolution 3 off road pop up, but I really didn't want to hastle with lifting it just to get in. I was concearned about the wind drag of a hybrid camper, but my test pull convinced me, it would pull fine. I still have 4.10 gears with 37's, and cruise right down the road. I will be getting gears next month though and a trans cooler next week.

RotorHead, thats a great looking trailer, kinda what I would like to move up to. I have a tent trailer right know that is great, but its kind of a duct tape special if you know what I mean. I am curious about the weight, you said it pulled fine on your test drive, how do you think it will be once its loaded up with gear? I try to keep things light, but once I start loading the gear, things add up quick. Post up after the trip, enjoy your maiden voyage!
