I just picked up this 2014 Starcraft Comet 12RT pop up camper toy hauler. Due to the rugged nature of this pup I figured I will record my modifications and uses of it here. Although this trailer is not really what I consider an overland trailer, it is close and will complement "Yeller" nicely.

The first order to business was going to Colorado to inspect then bring this trailer home. I stopped by St. Elmo prior to picking up the trailer, because no trip to the Rockies is complete without a little bit of dirt.

I then made my way to the seller up an incredibly steep road where we talked vehicles, trips and future plans. A deal was made and I drug my new pup down the mountain.

The lights worked, the brakes worked, the wheel bearings stayed cool and the rotted out mud tires from 2013 held together on the 600 mile drive home.

There sure is a lot more room with this pup than my 11' Yelller :flushed:

Now I get to learn about RV systems. What have I gotten myself into!?!?!
