About this episode

A trailer gives you room for the family, the gear, and a camp you can leave behind while you explore. It also means dragging another axle through everything you came to drive.This week on the CAMO Convoy Podcast, Nick and Aaron talk overland and offroad trailers. Aaron likes the idea. Nick takes some convincing. From simple utility trailer builds to fully equipped campers, we get into what you gain, what you give up, and whether a trailer actually fits the way you travel.We talk tongue weight, load placement, trailer brakes, suspension, and the ST versus LT tire debate. We also cover couplers, articulating hitches, drop hitch leverage, lighting, frontal area, and how a trailer changes the way your rig turns, stops, and handles tight trails.Would you pull a trailer on your next trip, or keep everything in the truck? Tell us what you’re running and where you draw the line.Shiny side up, muddy side down.
