Gvwr
An entry dated November 3 says the Action Camper adds 380 lbs to the Wrangler. The 2012 Wrangler Rubicon has a cargo capacity of only 892 lbs, so you'd have to be careful with the weight of added bumpers, body armor, bigger fuel tank and other ExPo goodies.
Was happy to come across this thread again and learn that ActionCamper is indeed coming to America. This is a great design reflecting a lot of thought. I am excited to see it as an option for those with a Jeep Unlimited. Nevertheless, Haven raises a very important detail. Given this is designed for two people, I don't see how one could avoid significantly going over the GVWR.
ActionCapmer: 380 +
Fresh H2O: 105.80 +
Fuel 23 gallons: 139.15
----------------------
Avail allowance for Passengers AND GEAR: 267.05
I'm aware many exceed the GVWR on a regular basis and do so without harm (yet) coming their way. Safety aside, routinely exceeding GVWR forces the vehicle and its components to work harder than designed and wear out sooner. Specific to the figures on the ActionCamper web site, one would be quite a bit over GVWR after adding passengers, AGM battery, food, and bare minimum recovery gear. I have a small frame and would be traveling with my dog and don't know how I would do so within these numbers.
What am I missing?
