I have just purchased a pop-up trailer. Now I am ready for the week-end get togethers. Opps, the gosm won't fit in the trailer. Looks like I will just have to build another smoker to the camper.
Here are a few pics of the outside of the camper. The inside needs to be completely cleaned before I show it. Just to give you an idea how large this little trailer is, there is one picture that shows my Dodge Caravan still hooked to it.

Congrats on the new camper Jayco's are a fine manufacturer. Instead of trying to build a smoker to fit make a platform that attachÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]s to the rear bumper of the camper to carry the smoker and accessories. Maybe a reciever and a carrier that slips into it. In any case enjoy it and use it often
 
nice lookin toy you should have a lot of fun with that. It's always nice to have a relaxing weekend camping, enjoy!!
 
Nice camper Andy! Can't wait to see some campin pics from ya.

We have a Coleman pop up that we use for our road camping and campground camping. They are a great way to go. Alot easier on gas than a big ol hog. Hope you have lots of great memories with it.
 
I just sold my 1998 12 Jayco UDST. Just like yours except it had a front storage compartment. Great trailer. Pulls like a dream and never had a bit of trouble with any of it. Hope you have tons of enjoyment out of it.
 
Hey...cool setup... man lots of room in those buggers eh? And the rear bumper rack is a great call. Easier than building a smoker I'd think :{).
 
Pop ups are great. Had one for about 8 years. Wife and I used it for vacation and me and my dad for deer hunting. Graduated to a travel trailer and then a 5th wheel. Pop up has many advantages over the others but in this day and age mileage would be the big one.
 
Thanks to all that has looked at the trailer. With lots of scubbing on the inside, it sure is cleaning up better than I thought. The previous owners have closed the trailer while being wet. Not a big deal if they would have opened it up to dry out. The interior canvas was loaded with mildew. Just today after work, my wife and have cleaned 3/4 of it. Almost looks new.
 
Congratulations on a awesome camper! I used to own that same model and it was a great camper for us.

Be careful though on where you try to carry a smoker. If you add weight to the rear of that trailer, it will upset the balance and it will sway.

If you don't have the option of carrying on / in your tow vehicle then I might consider a roof rack for the camper. Keeping the weight centered or forward of the axle.

Have fun!

Jeff
