Yellowstone and Grand Teton with a popup camper.

[howaminotmyself]

Long time listener first time caller. Wanted to share my trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone.

We drove 1620 miles roundtrip with our popup camper.

The Bronco: 4door Eruption Green Black Diamond 2.7 Auto.
It did not come with the tow package. After lots of reading through the forums here, I was able to add trailer brake, 7-pin wiring harness, and hitch with few headaches.

The Camper: Forest River Rockwood A122s ESP. popup a-frame great for our small family. loaded weighed in at 2700lbs.

Used 99.1gal of fuel for an avg of 16.35mpg.

Worth the trip!

I LOVE your photos!!! I too have a Forest River Pop-up! I am taking it out in a few weeks for the first time, I cannot wait...especially after seeing your photos! Curious, which hitch are you using, and do you have much squat? Thanks so much!

I ended up getting a Fastway E2 Weight distribution hitch rated for 4500 lbs. The squat was significant without the distribution hitch, with it you still have about 1.5 inches but leveled out nicely and pulled confidently. Would recommend a distribution hitch.

Safe travels!

When were you there? We went up to Yellowstone (and Idaho) and I could swear I remember seeing a Bronco towing a Forest River pop-up. I can't recall the color, but how many Broncos towing Forest River pop-ups could there be? It would have been 7/8 or 7/9.

We left on 4July.

Ah, bummer. Well, I guess the answer to my question is, "At least two."
