Nice. I like the little trailer. I went to the rv show not too long ago and was very impressed with the light trailers, no wasted space.

sorry no pics , turned off the cell
Spent 2 nights out on a maiden voyage with the camper,just bought it in the winter
Was pretty good just a couple issues
Friday night it got pretty cold and should have the heat turned on earlier in the evening so then it got way to warm inside and I couldnt be bothered getting out of bed to turn it down

Filled the camp stove with fuel and forgot to shut the burner control off
The sun heated the tank enought to pump all the fuel into the stove
When I lit it ,I had flames every where but where they should have been
I had tested the stove before we left so I couldnt understand why it wouldnt work
I dismantled and poured about half a liter of fuel out of it onto the fire pit

Heres our camp set up. Had a little rain but didnt stop out fun, also plenty worm and dry sleeping in the blazer. Did some off roading, quite impressed with keeping up to a couple full sized trucks, ill post some pics of that over in off road later.

No pics but a couple buddies were jealous on an overnight trip when they had to share a small tent in the rain and I was cozy on an air mattress in my blazer. One of the many reasons I love SUVs

We bought our trailer at an auction last winter and got it for a better price than I could have bought an older pop up
It sleeps 4 , the table folds down to a RV Queen size bed and above is a cabinet/bunk that you could put a couple kids in (200lb cap.)
Its just the wife,dog and I so its big enough
We ordered a custom size bed matress so we keep it as a bed at all times
