Yes, I should use better grammar when writing, I admit I am a product of the failing ny state public school system, and in spite of my grnadmothers best attempts, when I type anything it shows, I can speak very well it written communication that I am lacking.
And as far as the towing I think the biggest issue that was pointed out is not the trailer weight vs truck weight its more the issue of the short and narrow wheel base the cherokee has. That was my only red flag about a travel trailer and I think given my wife and kids will be in the jeep its not worth the risk.
I am going to do the old cardboard mockup for some home brewed armor, may even attempt a bumper. I did get a crazy idea for a homefab trailer using a commanche bed, but that seems hard to find in good shape and if I have to build the frame and everything (commanche is unibody too) then why not just build the whole trailer from new metal.
