Towing with a Jeep Rubicon - Event Date: 18 Jan 2012

Originally posted by sostler Thanks for your replies and suggestions. My husband is really stuck on getting the jeep wringer rubicon so I guess we will need to find an additional vehicle for towing or look at other travel trailer options. Does anyone know of a good lighter weight camper than the r-pod? I found one in canada called the safari condo but it is listed as 24,000-33,000 dollars!-

Welcome to the group!  I might suggest looking for a used T@B (no longer in production - I think) or maybe something like an Aliner.  Neither will have all of the ammenities of a Pod but, might fit within your weight restriction.

I have owned multiple Jeep Wranglers in the past. The biggest problem was its extremely short wheel base.  I installed a WDH plus sway control on my last Wrangler.  I have to travel over a stretch of concrete road which has developed a mild roller-coaster profile.  Even driving at 40 mph, I thought that I was going to be bounced and whip-sawed completely off the road. I traded in for a Jeep Liberty with WDH-Sway, and traveled over the same road.  The Liberty has a much higher rated tow capacity compared to the Wrangler...but it acted only slightly better on that road.  I now have a full sized pickup.  On the exact same road, I barely notice that I have the Pod behind.
