Off Road Campers that are within GVWR

[Gr8Hortoni]

Started planning my circle of the Mitten state and started thinking about overlanding/camping. Between the Jeep and the bronco when it gets here later this summer, my goal is to get out at least once a month from April on and start doing some trail camping. If I succeed and do it regularly enough, I plan on getting an overland trailer. Leaning more towards a Roof Top Tent setup, but open to some teardrops also, but ultimately it depends on the SO’s thoughts, as I’m trying to get her out with me more as well.
So far these are the 2 I like so far thr don’t destroy the budget, and she likes the black series.

What have you guys found, or if you have any experience with either of these, let me know!

This isn't exactly off road but they got some that are a bit beefier. The place is right down the road from me that sells these. What I've had my eye on!

There’s more than a few Teardrop/hardside/top campers set up for trail running. Oregon Trailer was another one that I was checking out. The “Do Drop” is an economical base model that looks like it’s pretty stout.
I’m leaning towards the rtt option to keep weight down, maximize storage and get the most mileage out of a dollar.

I feel you! I guess part of me is I tend to stay cheap and simple. I think I'm going to try my best to sleep inside my Bronco till I can't possibly stand it. Or actually go full time for life then I'll make a move to decide! I just know I like things to be super simple! I also like the fact that one has that platform I always wanted to take a 50cc scooter with me. Like a honda ruckus!

If it was just me, I’d be on board with you. Lol.

married and 4 kids (2 older ones that want nothing to do with the ‘rental units, and 2 younger boys that will be with us at least 1/2 the time, plus my youngest is non-verbal Autistic and my co pilot whenever the Jeep goes off road. Sure it’ll be the same in the 6G), so I’m trying to come up with something that works for everyone. The SO thinks camping needs to involve a 40’ tri axle with a sauna and 3 king size beds, so getting her on board is a task lol. She’s the one that actually found the black series Sergaent, and it’s in my price range.

want to look into some RTT’s in person to see what would work for us. The Scout trailer with the gen2 RTT xl and annex would actually come in cheaper than the Sarge, just depends on what she’s willing to compromise on.

I will for sure. Like I said in OP, I want to get out this year and make sure it’s what I want to spend my money on. I’ve got a 6 person and a 4 person ozark trail instant tent, they set up in no time (4 person is literally 30 seconds, 6 person is 2-3 minutes), but both are bulky and take up a lot of storage space. I’ll make it work for this season and see if the investment is truly going to be worth it.

This might be the winner here. Plenty of clearance, A/C so she can’t complain about the heat and plenty of clearance.

I like all of them! I am interested to see what people think of the various options. My wife has actually started to get into the Bronco and even researched Drummond already. I will likely bring the Sea Doos vs. tow a trailer, depending on where we are going (Silver Lake is top on the Bronco/Sea Doo list), but who knows where we might go in the future!

I would take the trailer vs the sea doos to Drummond, just my opinion (and I don’t own sea doos, so there’s that. ??‍). I don’t think they have the launch on the dunes anymore, probably have to launch from the campground now. Years ago you could tow them right onto the dunes, unfortunately too many people were getting stuck on the entrance hill. ?

They are pretty much small boats now, super stable and pretty dry ride. I might not bring them to Drummond, but Pictured Rocks and other spots along the lake will be cool to explore. I remember seeing people get stuck towing, I would just like to put in at the bot ramp and cruise the area around Silver Lake and the dunes. People watching on the beach can be entertaining too!
