My first camper trailer tow (with Maverick Hybrid)

[Superg0]

It does. We keep it in our garage. It's about 73 inches at the roof mount (highest point).

Thank you very much, what is the Brand or make of that trailer?

Good stuff! Congrats on your maiden voyage, and good luck on many more. Tiny campers fit these trucks just about perfect…

It's a New Wave, which isn't in business anymore. Closest I've seen are Hiker brand and Runaway brand trailers.

Awesome little trailer! Could you post a few photos of the interior?

Sadly, they're on the lower end of what I've seen. Check out Overland if you haven't. I mean, I get they're a much higher-end build, but $40k for a tiny trailer!

Looking good, I can't wait to get a small camper and hit the road too . In my experience stovetop espresso makers (moka pots) are awesome for camping

Your post put a big old smile on my face! Glad you got the camper your wife wanted, glad you were able to surprise her, and glad the towing went well. I wish you many wonderful travels!

Based on your comment I just watched a few videos about them. They look great. Definitely on the list for near-term purchases.

Thanks and sure! This is when I first went to check it out. The matress folds into couch mode, which is what you see here. It's surprisingly spacious and comfy to sit on (I'm 6'0", for reference)

Unfolded, it fills the entire floor and has a small, soft headrest. It also has a lift-gate galley in the back. There's also a shelf above the AC that doesn't really show in the picture

Lots of interior mod potential.

I've had this small pop-up tent trailer for 5 years, mostly towing it with my Harley to Spearfish (Sturgis) bike rally. In a few weeks I'll use my Maverick for a camping trip. The Maverick does not even know the trailer is there. In the last Pic, yes, that is an AC in the back of the tent. It's stored in the bed of the trailer. The trailer is made by "Roll-a-home", empty only weighs 375# (lbs, not "hashtag" ;-)

Looks awesome! Camping is the best. Glad to see you're making some awesome memories!

You are more than welcome!

My wife found a great deal on a small, used camper online a few months ago (about half price of new). I surprised her when she was out of town and bought it. It's something we both have wanted for years.

We took it out last weekend for the first time. It's the first time I've ever driven while towing, except for a few practice runs in the neighborhood.

I'm happy to report it went off without a hitch (my new favorite joke).

The Mav ('24 hybrid XLT Lux) did great. I only noticed the trailer on a few steeper hills, and even then I could still excelerate.

The trailer weighs about 1k lbs. We had about 500 lbs of people, dog, and gear in the truck. Another 100 lbs of gear in the trailer (I love having all this storage space).

I took it slow and steady. Mostly kept it at 60 to 65 on the highway. Rough calcs showed about 34 MPG for the 200-mile round trip.

Overall, we had a blast. The Mav's versatility was fantastic. It hauled our firewood, toted our gear, and was easy to drive through town when we made a coffee run (I'm still learning how the new coffee pot works and my first batch was... not great.).

We've already got a bunch more campsites we want to hit that'll let us get to mtn bike and hiking trails a bit too far away for day trips.

Doggo was a little scared, but he's learning it's his new den.

I can't wait to take it out again.

Niiiice! I’m looking for one as well. If you don’t mind me asking. How much did the trailer hit you for$$$
