You may or may not have seen the threads I am posting on where I have purchased a Jeep Gladiator and am beginning to explore around the Daniel Boone National Forest. Although I am currently doing day-out/night return trips, I want to be able to extend to multi-night outings. There is a nice loop that requires at least two days, but better three that starts in Jellico Tennessee, and ends way up in central Kentucky. It actually ends not too terribly far from my farm. It's around 250 miles, all off-road from what I can see which would require three days and two nights on the trail. Some camp the additional night at the trailhead, either end to get an early start or after a long day at the end instead of having to air back up, clean up and hit the road for the drive to civilization.
I am currently investigating just how to do that, whether it be clamping on a bed-mounted canopy with a rooftop tent or buying an overland Adventure Camper, I've yet to decide.
On the big end and coming in around $34,500, here's my current top pick:

Didn’t you build a very capable tow behind for this purpose?

He did, yes. But for a vehicle with more whomp than the jeepiator!
On that, four wheel campers make a phenomenal product, albeit pricey. Also, eezi-awn make great roof top tents. Have owned some version of both brands, and would do so again in a heart beat. Not sure if FWC makes anything for the fladioart bed but probably so, as it’s close to a tacoMa bed.

I’ll bet that little trailer is under 3k

880 pounds plus gear ? Edmunds says capacity is 892. That’s not much gear and extra fuel.
