Jumping Jack trailers?

HorseCreek · Apr 27, 2014

Anyone have one? What's your thoughts on them? I'm thinking of getting one to pull behind the jeep.

Are you pulling the Jeep & The Jumpin Jack behind the Dodge?

I think they are over priced!

They are spendy...that's why I'm asking, what's to like about them?
My camp trailer isn't a toy hauler. I don't like to pull it in to some of the places I hunt. If I have the jeep and the 4wheelers in camp I've killed two birds with one stone.
If you own one or have owned one, what's the good and bad with them?

I have a buddy with one. They can get in most anyplace a sane person would take a Jeep. (Not talking hardcore, insane Jeep crawling!) They do carry your ATV well, and give you a place to sleep off the ground. Not quite all the comforts of a regular travel trailer (no microwave, etc.) but pretty decent. It is a canvas trailer. You do have to take care of the canvas (dry it out before long term storage, etc.
I think the nicest thing about them is the remote places you can get your quad and trailer. Beats a tent and sleeping on the ground any day.

OK HorseCreek!

The Bad:

People Haul Wheelers to the Mountains with them to Abuse Mother Earth!

The Good:

If you get Snowed in/Weathered in you don't have to worry about getting that 80K Toy Hauler off the Hill!

LAST EDITED ON Apr-28-14 AT 07:21AM (MST)[p]I too, have several friends with one. I have even been with, when camping. They are roomy, even for big guys. The positives are pretty evident. The main negatives, as far as I can see: They have some pinch spots that wear holes in the canvas,when folded up. They seem like kind of a pain to put up and take down. I wonder just how long the material will hold up. Its a neat idea, but a very expensive tent on wheels. It seems to me, that you could pull a small trailer with all your gear, (tent included) for a lot less money.

HorseCreek · Apr 28, 2014

Bess, I fully intend to pull the trailer thru closed roads and trails. Thats how I roll! ?

Thanks for the input guys

Nope, is that a jumping jack trailer that's been tuned up?

I did like the trailer, and the tent. It does have enough room for a queen air mattress if you buy the extra bed rails. It will go damn near anywhere. My reason for selling is that i did not like loading/ unloading or hauling my Rhino on it. I never loaded up my wheelers, cause i really havent used em since i bought my Rhino back in '07. U can get lucky on used ones once in a while.

I guess I gotta chime in with my nickels worth. I own two of them! Years ago they came out with a mini version. I got one of those, but the only problem was it was just to small to be comfy for more than one for more than a day or two. I got the full size one a couple years ago, tried to sell the little guy, but people wanted me to donate it to them. It's pretty handy, nice to pull behind my 4 banger Tacoma for a quick trip on the cheap. I have had it for ten years, and no holes or wear at all. It's been around the block a time or two, but I am always careful to fold it up correctly and watch the pinch points. The big one is really nice for a long time in back country where I do not like to take my regular camp trailer. No worries if roads get slimy, its light and easy pulling. And beats sleeping on the ground in a tent 7 ways to Sunday. But I'm no young shoat anymore, so anything with a soft bed is a winner with me!
They are pricy, but compared to a lot of what's out there, they are much better built for yer hard earned cash.

Hey Horsecreek, just some food for thought!

I have been looking at them as well, but I just can't bring myself to shell out that kind of coin for a "Tent on Wheels".

I have a buddy that has recently purchased an enclosed trailer for $6,500 brand new, custom made for him (added a storage unit for a deep cycle battery and a fuel door with custom height to fit his Razor). He is adding some fold up beds, a vanity with a water pump, some cabinets and a small porta-potty with some LED lighting on the inside and adding propane tanks to the front so he can run a Buddy Heater and a stove.

He figures he will be into it total about $8,000.

He will have one heck of a nice unit for not too much more than a Jumping Jack and it will be a great place to store his machines as well.

I am thinking this is a pretty slick way to go. Poor man's version of a Toy Hauler

Get a Used enclosed trailer 7x12 or 6 x 12 with a couple fold down cots/beds( toyhauler type)

Propane heating and cooking. Gen/Battery to run lights. Get fancy and put a awning off one side to park under or cook.

FLIP the axles to get more clearance and you will like it a lot better and maybe still have some coin in your pocket for ammo.

The cost isn't really the main issue. I'm mostly looking for something I can pull with the jeep into some places I don't wanna take the family trailer and more importantly my truck. I've looked at a few enclosed custom built trailers. They were great but a bit more than what I want to pull with the jeep.
Thanks for the input

I read an article about these trailers in the latest Petersen's Hunting. Not sure how much they cost...

Costco has a cheaper version of the Jumping jack trailer on sale. The tent looks a little lighter. Here is the add if it helps .

HorseCreek · May 5, 2014

Can you haul wheelers/motorcycles on it?

elkassassin · May 5, 2014

It'll Haul a few Drones!

Here is another picture.

Looks like a copy of a jumping jack with a cheaper tent.

LAST EDITED ON May-06-14 AT 04:18PM (MST)[p]I just picked up a new Four Wheel Camper for my Dodge 2500. I tow my quad on a trailer then. The camper is nice because it has everything except a microwave or oven. It has a heater, stove, sink, 26 gallons of water storage, outdoor shower, dual batteries, a refrig (with freezer) and a solar panel that will power everything and recharge the batteries. They're not cheap, but for me it's perfect for hunting trips and trips with the family.
