I have a 2021 Big Bend edition and am considering taking it out and doing some camping. Has anyone ever used a trailer hitch hammock hanger? Any other suggestions?
thanks in advance for any thoughts.

My spouse and kids love hammocks. We generally take this frame with us whenever we go camping

It packs up to like the size of a camp chair bag. Any camp hammock will work in it, to include the Bronco "hang in there" one. I am not much of a hammock person- they tend to mess my back up if I'm in them a while. But then again, some of our friends generally bring a good camp hammock and set it up in the trees and that works for them.

holy cow- that's cool - and much more affordable than a lot of the other campers I've seen. I'm 52 yrs old, and definitely not gonna sleep in a tent LOL

I’ve seen those and the ENO stand too… I may have to go take a closer look at an REI store..

Hammock camping has become a real favorite of mine over the past few years. Having a hitch system for the Bronco is something I cannot wait to try out. My eyes are on the McLean Metalworks system:
