Flat towing isn't an option since my jeep is wheeled hard and high potential for damage.
The bigger camper 825 is for a short bed truck and the cog will be over the rear axle. The tongue weight of the trailer max is 650lbs but usually less because of how the jeep is loaded on to the trailer. As far as weight goes I'm not far off with ether camper and I agree, 250lbs doesn't make a huge difference.
No offense but from other areas I read about this it seems like it's a knee jerk response that most people have saying I need a 24" extension to tow behind a TC. Looking at the measurements of my trailer compare to the overhang of the campers there's plenty of tongue even with a tight turn. Plus the 825 camper doesn't come down past the bumper to cover the hitch. Obviously not a worry with the shorter 650.
