Okay, so the wife and I are heading to the river to pick up and try out
our new (to us) popup camper. Should be great fun for camping and
hunting in the future.

Does anyone know what I should and shouldn't do with this thing and my
little 2.4 22RE? I don't want to max this thing out, and I am pretty sure
this camper is gonna be pretty tiny. I just don't want to overdo it.

Any suggestions? Anyone have this same setup? I have no idea the size
of the camper, but in the description from the seller, its pretty small.

I have an Apache, which is fairly heavy for a popup. I towed it all over the country with my 85 4Runner 22re. No worries, although it did slow it down a lot on hills. On the flat it hardly even noticeable. Tip: If you take a small boat - put it on the trailer for the highway trip. The boat (90 lbs tops) on the roof slowed me down more than the trailer.

 

That is good news. Thanks. I didn't want to kill my poor little truck.

I have a Jayco 10x with air on top and it hardly even slows me down. But, I have a '99 4Runner with the 3.4 V6, with the 5spd combined with 4.30 gears and 33" tires I have to ride the clutch when starting on hills though.

 

I towed this thing...no sweat...except on steep hills...
