I know some of you have small trail type trailers for camping.  I would like to see what you use, and thoughts.
 What do you pull behind your Zuk?  Photo's
What do you like about it? 
What does it need?
How does it handle on trails & roads?
Is the tent attached or remote?

My wife and I have reached the stage of life where sleeping on the ground isn't a problem, but getting up off the ground in the morning is.  When we started looking at camping at off road events, we wanted a camper that could be towed by the Tracker.  We ended up finding a vintage 1966 Apache Buffalo-Mesa.  It is a basic popup camper from a simpler era.  It weighs approximately 750 lb empty, and the tracker pulls it pretty well on the prairie, but struggles a bit on the hills.  You may want to look at an Apache Eagle.  It is a similar concept, but only weighs about 500lbs.
