Nifty tent trailer. What brand and model is it, please? I can’t make it out on my little bitty phone screen.

Frank is probably driving, so I will look at my 27" screen. ROCKWOOD is all I can make out.

What were your weights and did you drive at elevation? Curious. I like that there is absolutely no squat, sits nice and level.

Nice adventure there OP.
I was curious about the trailer info also.

"Forest River" "Rockwood" ~1600lbs .... my guesses:

So, I could actually tow that with my Tremor? Sweet. What's a ballpark price on a pop-up like that, anyone? Maybe I'll sell my house and move to a KOA in the Florida Keys.

Approx. $6300+ to $14000+ for the non 4k towables

I've been eyeing up this exact trailer! How does the wiring work because aren't they 7-pin? And do you have a controller for the trailer brakes?

We just got back from our cross country trip. Left Hickory North Carolina got on I40 west with no plans or reservations. Was gone for 3 weeks seeing the beauty that God USA has to offer. Had zero problems with our 24 Ford maverick xlt hybrid, averaged 41mpg. Traveled with wife and another couple. Drove 5,688 miles from N.C to within 40 miles of California and back.

Great adventures!
Maybe not the place to post, but some of us hybrid owners can be a bit jealous of the increased towing capacity of the ecoboost clan. There might be an alternative for the hybrids. I’ve seen ads for inflatable trailers (not the carriage frame, of course) but the living quarters with inflatable walls. I don’t have details or specs because I don’t have a need for such, but just thought I’d pass it along.
