Just happened to stumble into this article. It's from 2010 but I never knew they made these...

They aren't bad looking but overpriced in my book. I have known offroaders to pull custom trailers but if you are a serious offroader going to test out your rig a trailer of any kind would be a hinderance and a danger. If you are offroading anywhere but a dirt trail its all about traction, stability, clearances, wheelbase, and turn radius, any trailer limits all those things. I think it's a novelty at best. I looked at them for a while and opted not to do it.

I think I could like this one pretty good. Been watching some of the down under trailer brochures for some time now... Pretty neat to see JEEP coming out with a camping line. Agree the price is abit high...
Back in the day this was what I looked like camping off the power grid all over Northern Arizona high country
This down-under trailer really caught my eye but who knows what this would cost...

I thought about buying a Trailer Tent I think it would be cheaper overall and is a bigger setup. Even with the cost of putting an off road suspension on it.

Why does it matter if costco sold it?
I like the trailer when folded as well lots of places to tie down crates to store your gear/gas/supplies. It would be easy to mount a sink/shower on poles next to it too with a pole to hang the water from to give you pressure.
