Hey guys! Been looking around at these and just wondering if anyone out there has one, and how well they tow behind the wrangler? I have a 2dr, and they're well under the max towing weight, just wanting some opinions!

we have a jayco dove .. it tows great but we have a 4 door diesel auto ..
they do have a heavy ball weight ours 170kg so its right on the limit.
ours ball weight is high because the axel is so far towards the rear
I had a '05 model dove outback with an extra water tank and the 3.7 KJ towed it no trouble at all. Agree with Steve, heavy ball weight but within limits.
If you have a CRD 6 speed, do not do it unless you are prepared to change diff ratio. I tow a lighter weight camper trailer, and when loaded, it really struggles to get off the mark. Once off the mark, it drives great.
Diesel auto Jeep tows it fine, although auto transmission gets hot on the hills, so fit a cooler.
Great camper for the money. In fact, it's a great camper, full stop. Only complaint is that you sleep E-W, unless you're short. So position those with the weakest bladder to the inside of the camper.
Cheers guys for your input! And thanks Steve for the pic, gives me a fair idea what they look like behind the jeep! Mines a petrol, 6speed. So after everyones input, i feel abit better on how it will tow. Thanks guys!
