Introduction and Hello
Hello all - My wife and I bought our first travel trailer today. We live in PHoenix and have been tent camping out of the back of a Jeep for decades and finally decided to come in out of the rain....

Looking good... I like your trailer choice which is just the right size... You should be able to pull this trailer all over North and East Arizona in the high country camp spots..
Like you I did many TENT camping trips in the 60s and 70s in my case with my trusty ole Jeep pulling a utility trailer with all my Tent and supplies. We really had fun when several other Jeeps doing the same thing joined us... Tent camping around the Sedona Red Rocks was a sight to see waking up with the sun just hitting the red rock canyons there... My real love for camping was the Flagstaff areas. I would stay for a couple of weeks at time around there...
We eventually moved out of the Arizona area and now live on the East side of the USA. Our love is our OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer and have pulled this trailer all over the East and South coast areas and as far West as Texas and Oklahoma. We camp alot in the local SKYLINE DRIVE and north end of the Blue Ridge Parkway... The high country just West of Harrisonburg along the wooded high country of Virginia and West Virginia state border line is perfect being just a close drive away from us here in Northern Neck Virginia country.
You can always spot the old tent campers haha... They all have the best camp spot setups with outside living in mind...
I consider myself an RV CAMPER and never got into RV TRAVELER mode... My working years filled all of that gap which covered Georgia to California working on Electronic systems for the DOD. This got me back to Arizona many times as late as October 2010... We always rented Jeeps or Trucks when working in Arizona so we could do the high country camping on the weekends...
Have fun with your new camper and on your next trip to the Apache Trail head think about us haha... Your trailer will look great sitting in the Lost Dutchman State Park and Tortilla Flat areas... However going down the Fish Canyon and winding loop back dirt roads north of all of that you are on your own haha... That almost qualifies as JEEP country...
