Thank you guys!
Here's the inside..almost done, hopefully this weekend!
I insulated with 1" foam, covered that with lightweight knotty pine....just need some trim at the seams
There's a plywood frame that lays across and supports a queen size mattress...sleep in there a week or so ago for 4 nights and loved it!

About 2600# with 31 gal. of water, and two very large 6V batteries.
The inside still has a bit of trim to do and a couple of coats of poly...but I just want to go camping!
The water tank and batteries live up front.....gives about 350 lbs of tongue weight.
Tows great.

I'm kinda jealous. I wish I could have gone camping over Easter. Still a little chilly up here. My camper is still winterized . . . at least for a few more days. First trip of the year is next weekend.

Our popup camper is called an Aliner. This particular model is referred to as, "the classic". Ours has the optional "off road" package which provides a heavy duty axle, larger tires and substantially more ground clearance. The empty weight is 1,650#s; standard tongue weight is about 175#s. Loaded with enough gear for a 2 week trip it weighs 2,300#s and the tongue weight jumps to about 230#s (I know this for certain as we just had it weighed on a certified scale).
What's particularly nice- and unique - about the Aliner is that it sets up and comes down in LESS than one minute. And it can be set up without having to detach it from the tow vehicle. So drive until you're tired; park wherever; and in less than one minute, you're "camping" or tailgaiting or sleeeping, etc. As an outdoorsman I particularly appreciate that I can arrive at a destination after dark, and in literally a minute or less, be set up for the night. And on Sunday afternoons when I'm out hunting, I don't need to worry about heading back to the camper earlier than I'd like to, just to allow time to break camp. Really, a cool little unit that is PERFECT for towing with a V-6 engine.
This one is set up with an inside/outside stove; outside hot/cold "shower"; inside sink with hot/cold water; fridge; freezer; microwave, air conditioner, sofa that pulls out into a queen size bed; and a table/sitting area that converts into a full size bed. It's large enough inside for two adults and two kids or a couple of hunting dogs.

I live in Arizona, and I have to travel up the mountains most every time I want to camp. With everything loaded, my truck struggles pretty much all the time. From the time I drop it on the hitch, OD is off, or its 60mph on the flat highways. With OD off, it tows ok, but as soon as I point it up a hill, it's workin really hard. I can't just sell it and get a V8, nor can I afford a supercharger. 99% of the time, its the wifes familymobile. On camping weekends it the TV. I'm trying to see what options are out there to help this thing up the hills. Any medium hill, I'm at 3500 rpm, buzzin in 3rd with the AC off. Any STEEP hill, I'm in 2nd gear. Is this what all of you guys are doing too? Going up the hills stresses me out cuz I feel like Im wringin its neck to maintain any speed. Now, Im climbing from 1500 to 7-8000 feet, so it's pretty steep. I was thinking a gear change may help offset the tire size change, and help with the hills. Anyone have any mods that work for them? Performance chip... gear change... turbo? lol

I told you how to fix this buddy! LOL

Brock,
How was the lift achieved on your camper? Just curious as I have a utility
trailer that rides a bit low for my liking and was going to use blocks.
TIA
