Here is a tent trailer.
It seems to pop up so easily.
BigWrap. Yeah I've been looking at this one as well. But almost 5k by the time you get the hitch and all the goodies. It's just too much. 3k and I'd do it.
we just used it again last weekend at big bear, serrano camp ground. had a excellent time. got down to 34 at night but the tent heater saved us. kept it about 50 all night. smart tows it fine. 2 more weeks and its green valley campground. july will be arrowhead, dogwood campground. august will be big sur on the coast.

I wish we had that problem here! It's too hot to go camping anywhere here now.
Donnyonee. I'm getting ready to go for the Time Out. Would appreciate your feedback.
1. Hitch... I like how nice and level your set up is. Did you install the hitch yourself or have a vendor do it? Which Hitch and who installed it?
2. Hills...We know the road to Big Bear (18yrs in LA) and know many of the sites you camp at. Lots of big hills. Let us know how the pull to BB worked out, ie what gears you ran and RPMs you were holding.

my trailer has a port sewn into 1 of the sides, with elastic so you could hang a small ac unit on the side.
the smart/trailer seems to take the hill just fine. i do try to use the turn outs when necessary and im in the slower lane on the passing lane sections but it does fine, mostly is 3rd gear, any faster and things are sliding across the dash. i have the etrailer hitch which looks the same as uhauls. and uhaul did install it.
