Yes, have done this many times, but it doesn’t depend entirely on the size of the camper. It also depends very much on the size engine you have!!

Jeeps are light and wont hold the road with a camper over about 3000 pounds,
It is not how much you can pull but how much weight can you stop.
Do not use a jeep that has been lifted or has big tires.

Check with the dealer and get the proper tow rating for your vehicle. Not all jeeps are the same.

I never pulled one. Only drove MHs.
Check your manual for the transmission limits. If you damage that, no warranties will be valid.

Considering the Size of a Jeep and their steering radius or handling ability. To pull a Camper would have to be not much more than a 4 person pop up style. I don’t mean to put a curve in your plans but a Jeep basically is for Off Roading not really designed to be pulling a Camper down the Interstate.

Small size of the camper trailer ,yes,but for the family size trailer one,you need a truck that have enough power to pull it.If not you will face difficulties.

Assuming you mean a CJ type Jeep, I don’t think you’d want to go more than a 15′ trailer. A low profile pop-up would even be better. With too much length or weight, the Jeep could be very hard to handle due to it’s short wheelbase. A heavy trailer could even cause it to lose control or go over. A tent trailer or special off road versions would work best. Depends on where you want to pull the trailer.
