Anybody here own a Jayco Baja Edition?
I was searching for "Rugged Travel Trailers" and I ran across an ad for the Jayco Baja Edition from 2005. I can't seem to find much information on them though and was wondering if there were owners h...

In about 2003 or 4 several Pop up trailer manufacturers started putting out "Off Road" tent trailers. StarCraft RT series, Fleetwood Evolution series, Jayco Baja Edition, and a few others, mostly later on. I have no idea when most of them suspended these models, but I think the 2008 financial downturn had a big part in it. I think Viking made some as late as 2012, but they may have just been late to the party.
I had a 2004 StarCraft 11RT, so I know about that one, not much about the Baja series other than that they were all made to compete against each other and appeal to the potential off road, rough road camper.
I did use mine on the dirt roads of Nevada deserts frequently, and it stood up well considering that it was basically a regular tent trailer box/tent mounted on a mondo tough looking frame with raised axels and big LT Mudrover tires. It had a front cargo/atv/cycle deck with diamond plate and a railing. I used the deck extensively for gear, never vehicles. The tongue weight was high to begin with as the axel was located far back of the ball, and weight on the deck could rocket up the tongue weight dramatically. It was 20' ball to spare, and weighed in at or near it's 3500 lbs. max when loaded.
TT Forum regular Roy Ken has a StarCraft RT, you may want to search him out. I havn't seen very many of the Off Road PUP's around these days.
