well i made an un-expected trip to browns camo this weekend with ittybittyjeep, due to some bad luck and the luck didnt seem to change all weekend, just one thing after the other breaking, tow rig was the first thing to go on friday only 2 miles from home, which is where i come into the picture and ended up towing out to browns camp after helping upright thr camper onto his tow rig, then he did some good damage to his jeep on waterfall on saturday, and after picking it up from the trail my tow rig decided to kill the power steering and power brakes (hydroboost) on the side of the freeway where the tow rig stopped after doing a 540 on the freeway nobody was injured and only the camper and the truck bed were a total loss this is how it looked when i showed up, pointing opposide of traffic on the shoulder just north of the overpass by keizer station   got the camper pulled back onto the truck and pulled trailer straight  and this is after we got back from browns camp with the carnage the jeep suffered on waterfall.  i do have more pictures and video but camrea battery is dead so will load them up asap |

Not enough tongue weight at first and never towed with the camper on, I had everyone else's stuff piled in the back of my jeep (tools and gas) also which didn't help at all. Semi trucks flying past with a lot of wind and before I knew it, it was too late, trailer brakes didn't have enough to straiten it back out in time.
Now for the jeep, got most the way up waterfall and broke a u-joint in the pass side axle, then managed to bust the bottom ball joint off and the top slid out at that time. And it sure didn't help having way too many people and weight in my jeep

I've got a canopy and air mattress, just need the catylitic heater. I've been tent camping for years so I have all that stuff, just thought a camper would be a nice upgrade
