So, I'm planning a family camping trip with my JLUS and looking at options on getting my gear up to the mountains. I go camping a lot and setting up a family friendly campsite requires a significant amount of gear. I usually take my Tundra, but the family is really preferring to take our new Jeep.
My 3 options I'm considering are:
1) Roof top rack (sorta pricey)
2) Hitch Mounted Rack (I've never found one that I've liked)
3) U-Haul 4x8 Trailer (I picked up a used hardtop and have the towing package)
I'm not really interested in looking like an Uber-cool overland camper, just looking for sensible options for a family trip. I'm kindof leaning towards getting a little 4x8 U-Haul. My primary concern with towing a trailer is gas mileage, and bringing a bunch of stuff I definitely don't need.
