Anyone gone from a Truck Camper to a Super C?

Its a modified YJ for use offroad. It hasn't had a spare tire for years.

Yes he can. Removing spare wheel from back of the Jeep and mounting it on trailer tongue will add about 200lb on the hitch.
Once you start thinking, you will find several ways to make it.

He is probably tongue light with his Jeep in the rear. My enclosed trailer carries five batteries in a Power Armor box on the tongue and 84 gallons of fresh water forward of the axles.

His trailer is very long and the jeep sits right in the very rear of the trailer. I forget the brand name, but it is a very nice bumper pull trailer and is probably 38' (???) long, maybe more?

He needs to weigh the trailer and find out if it is out of balance. My 20' enclosed trailer pulls nicely behind my F250 and 5500 while hauling campers.

That is exactly what he bought and he hates to tow it.

If you go that route, you need a car hauler with living quarters rather than the convention RV style toy hauler. It will handle weight of the keep better resulting in better handling.

My buddy bought a bumper pull toy hauler/tt last year. He pulls it with a 1-ton drw with a jeep yj inside. He hates the way it pulls. I guess because all that weight in the rear of the trailer.

We keep going round and round about this decision; everything is a trade off and compromise. I think we are back to getting a new drw and new tc w/slide outs.

You are correct sir; as time goes by, getting in and out of that tc ain't gettin' no easier. :E

We've even started looking at these things. I guess we will eventually figure out how to haul everything we own to the campground. :R

Although I still have my 11.5 foot Bigfoot TC and often tow my Samurai, I now also have a great 19 foot Alpenlite. I have used it on several short trips, and honestly gotta say once at the campsite it is more comfortable than the Bigfoot. I use both with my 2004 Dodge DRW 4x4 Quad Cab. Although I really like the 5th wheel, I think maybe getting in and out of the bed of a TT might be more of an advantage than the manoeuvrability of the 5er. Old age changes priorities.

If it were my intent to part full time for long periods, I would consider keeping 3500 truck, 8' TC, and a TT Toy Hauler. Make the long haul with the entire setup, with the jeep in the TT Toy Hauler. After you setup, you could then either run the Jeep for short trips, or flat tow the Jeep behind the truck/TC for longer runs.
