I got a killer deal on mine as I bought it used at about 6 months old. I also ditched the stock mattress for a memory foam and am trying to justify installing a flat screen, but with no kids, I don't think I need or really want one.īesides the frontal area, this camper is about perfect for a JKU as long as the operator is aware that they are going to be pulling close to the max trailer weight, even when it's empty. A full walk around queen and a full bathroom. Which, coincidentally are the same as what he was looking for. This and the Viking 17fq, which is basically the exact same thing except color and trim, were the only campers I found that had the features I was looking for in a package that was doable with a JKU. My JKU pulls it with basically no problem, although I do sometimes have to downshift to 4th (6 speed) on hills. I have the same camper as Austintatious above, a 2014 Coachmen Clipper 17FQ. Added a flat panel TV and wired it into the sound system, replaced the cheap mattress with a memory foam, and several other little mods.įor trips that involve Interstate and long hauls (300+ miles each way) I use a pickup but it's obviously more fun with the Jeep especially when we go to the coast. The floor plan is great, we've camped up to seven nights at a time in it (two of us and an 11 year old), and the A/C keeps it nice and cold. The trailer itself has been great - I spent months trying to match something that I could pull with the Jeep but had the features I wanted, like a walk-around queen size bed and full bath with vanity sink. I had noticed that during hot summer months my coolant temps were getting high (240F) so I removed the plastic grill inserts and it's been great since (212-225F with outside temp over 100F). My JKU does very well, usually cruising along in 4th at 55-60 with downshifts to 3rd depending on wind and grade. So far I haven't noticed a need for either a WD hitch or sway bars. I usually average about 11mpg when towing down to the coast about 210 miles each way to either Mustang Island on Padre or the LCRA park on Matagorda Bay. I stay off Interstates and stick with back roads where most people don't care that I'm going 55-60mph. I added a P3 brake controller and wouldn't leave my driveway without it. Pulling it took a little getting used to. You could probably make the short trip up to their San Marcos location and get some stats on it. MSRP was $16.5K and I paid $10,995 plus tax and tags at Crestview in Georgetown. I changed the tiny 12" wheels/tires it came with to 15" load range D. I don't load more than 300 pounds of gear into it and always tow with empty tanks so the gross weight is less than 3500. Dry weight is 2870 pounds, tongue weight is 295 pounds.
