Best family boondocking rigs?
We currently have a 29' (33' overall) travel trailer. The clearance is decent, but the long overhang behind the axles (and to a degree in front of the axles) makes off-road maneuvering tough. I can'...

Komfort brand trailers are suited to boondocking.
they are heavy, however .
they have a visibly taller frame than the other brands .
i chose to order a 2002 komfort 21t as my 4th and last rv .
we had already joined a circle of friends that prefer to boondock camp and understood what qualifications we needed .
Komfort is built tough and has sensible features that give it an advantage off the grid .
it has a axle gvw of 7240# and an empty axle weight of about 4800 # and it generally is about 5300# on the axles .
the tongue weight is 1100 # with the 50 gallons of fresh water we carry in front under the walk around bed .
it has shock absorbers , a visibly taller frame ( than similar sized from other manufacturers ) .
it has plenty of ground clearance stock and we ford little gulleys frequently .
70 % of our camping is without hookups some of it in forest service , blm , and nps campgrounds .
i tow it with a duramax and i have adjusted the ball height such that the trailer tows about 2 inches lower than level in front .
i have rubbed the rear bumper snubbers into the dirt at least a couple of times .
our favorite is dispersed camping readily available in oregon .
we have like minded friends and we always have 3 different couples and up to 8 that enjoys camping in the forest .
the group campouts are the best that we do and our campers are friends who live all over the state .
we repeat our areas and often use elk camps for our may to october camping.
there are some gorgeous boondock sites in the Ochocos where i have parked my trailer next to a stream and the last 100 yards is not a road .
i have never had a blowout because i upgraded my tt tires on the factory 15" steel wheels .
