2014 Rubicon Unlimited manual trans, standard 3.6L w/4.10 diffs. Factory towing package here.

With the Covid situation and all, we're looking to get a travel/camp trailer. Hope to use the Rubi as the towing vehicle. Rather not trade it for a pickup; we're retired, really don't meed/want two vehicles.

I've studied the User Manual. I know weight is the real issue; hope we can get something as self contained as possible -- toilet, sink, propane/burners at least. I'll skip a shower.
Additional information: I'm 6'5" so need something I can "almost stand up in". Also lie down in...
Any thoughts? What are you guys pulling???
Also, what brake controller are you using? Recommend?
 
Much of my situation is very similar to yours. I'm older, wife wants a travel trailer, the Jeep is limited in towing capacity and I'm 6'6", so finding something small enough to tow is also going to be too small to comfortably eat, sleep, cook in, right?
Trust me, I've been researching this for quite some time, and here's a couple of my recommendations:
R-Pod RP-192 (has a 60x80 queen bed): https://forestriverinc.com/rvs/travel-trailers/r-pod/RP-192/5158
Flagstaff E-Pro E19FBS (also has an 80" queen): https://forestriverinc.com/rvs/travel-trailers/flagstaff-e-pro/E19FBS/3556

Most queens in travel trailers are only 74", and both of the above, manufactured by Forest River, are the smallest they have with an 80" bed.

Casita Independence (the only travel trailer they make with an 82" bed): https://casitatraveltrailers.com/independence/

I like this one only because I think teardrop trailers are cool and have that retro look. Not to mention you can order them to match your Jeep. Comes with an 80" queen at about 3200 lbs. (dry). GVWR is 4100 lbs.
