[jbird1339]

Anyone got any pictures of their off road camper ie Jayco Baja, Fleetwood Evolution, etc..Also what are you pulling them with?  I have a 04 dbl cab tacoma prerunner 3.4liter SR5 and need to see if it's got the umph to pull it.  Also wifey wants to see more trailers other than that of the dealers pictures before we buy one.  Your help is appreciated!!!

I have the Fleetwood E3 and in my signature below, you will find a link to many, many pics. Can't help myself.

BTW, you'll see it in the photos but I tow with a 2007 Tacoma Quad cab with the 4.0L engine. Does great and I really load my front deck.

I have a Starcraft 11RT that I pull with a Tundra.  See avatar.

I have an '08 E1 that I love.  I don't have any pictures that I can share right now.  I'll have to load them to my Photobucket account and post them here.  On my second trip with it, I definitely took it offroad.  I had to go through some muddy ground and sprayed mud all over the front of the camper, including the front edge of the roof.  It looked funny when the roof was raised because people wondered how mud got that high.

Also, I tow with a GMC Sierra with a 4.8L V-8 and sometimes I wish I had more motor.  On the same trip mentioned above, I was fully loaded (probably more than most) including full water tanks and couldn't gain speed going up a bridge.  I had it floored and I wasn't gaining any speed.  I wasn't losing any either, but I still wish I had more power at that moment.  On flat ground it pulled fine, even through mud, and stopping isn't a problem.

Every person that sees my pop-up compliments it.  The larger tires make a statement and really do make it easier to go off the beaten path.

Update:  Here's a link to some very in-depth pictures of an '09 E1.

Long time lurker posting here....any Starcraft rt13 or 14 owners out there with pictures to share? The e series seem to me more readily available but I am really digging the rt14!

I pull an 07 Baja with my Chevy Colorado. 3.5 liter I-5, 4x4 crew cab. I'll be honest, I wish I had  more truck. Basically, more power and better brakes. But I had just downsized from a Silverado and didn't really want to get another full size truck.  You should do fine with most of them, just watch the tongue weight.

You can see a few pictures of mine on the Prairie Star site. Here's the link to my album on page 17....
