Overland Trailer

So, if you haven't read my article in the portal article library on selecting an adventure rig, you might want to read that. I have had most setups. I've had a Jeep pulling an adventure trailer with a rooftop tent. I've had a Subaru Outback with a rooftop tent on it. I've had a slide-in truck camper on my Ram truck. There are definitely pros and cons on all of them. I loved my Adventure Trailer with rooftop tent.

With regard to pulling a trailer with your Subaru. It is capable but be sure to check the wet weight of the trailer and ensure your Subi can pull it. Also, consider an articulating hitch mount on the trailer. Of course you are going to have to add a Class 3 hitch if your vehicle doesn't come with it.

Both of these trailers look pretty heavy as a dry weight let alone a wet. I didn't look at the specs, though. Just be careful with that. Both trailers look pretty great, either way.

My Adventure Trailers Horizon was very compact and light weight. As I mentioned I pulled it behind a lifted jeep. Not the Subi.

Another thing to think about is the height of the camper trailer vs the subaru. Generally overland trailers have very high clearance and could have your trailer leaning downward onto your class 3 hitch.

Thanks, Scott! I really appreciate the feedback. Both the trailers I'm considering are within the wet weight limit (3,500 lbs.) of the Wilderness. The main reason we're considering the two we are, is because of articles I've read (many on this site) which mention the inability to sleep in rtts in some National Parks. Also, one of the reasons we decided on a trailer vs. the rtt is the ability to unhook the car and explore. I'll definitely get an articulating hitch mount and pay attention to the height of the trailer vs. the height of the hitch.
