Popup Camper
Any of you 4 cylinder guys pull a popup camper? Im going to be buying one soon since i kinda want to do my own thing when it comes to motocross instead of staying with some friends i wanna be on my own at the races. I looked at a few on craigslist i found one that weighs 1480 pounds pretty light i must say i also emailed another guy on one and said his 4 cylinder ranger pulled it easily. I just wanna make sure before i go all the way into it.

one thing you might want to think about is putting in lower gears, to help with the towing. Keeping the revs up, especially on a 4 cylinder would help a great deal while towing. But even without the re-gear you truck will tow the pop up just fine, but hills are going to be the biggest problem

Im looking at a fleetwood cobalt those seem to be the lightest around. I will also have a 220 pound dirtbike in the back of my truck along with gearbag, gas can, toolbox, and ramp. I will be towing it probably 200+ miles since some of my races are really far. Any opinions on a generator thats fairly cheap and quiet?

we had a starcraft camper that was getting old and we took the frame and converted into a trailer. the steel is light weight and extra strong. we thought we would have bent the frame by now but it's some really strong stuff! my brother's 4-banger tows it up some pretty steep hills, won't ever need to go below 3rd gear.
