MH or TC - Which is better to get into the Boonies?

A max 24' Class C would be a great trade-off.

We take ours off-pavement with only one (small) dog. We don't tow, so we must use it on backcountry roads. I've seen many photos in these forums of where folks go with truck campers and I believe that I could go to many them - slowly and carefully - in our 2WD Class C. If the road is dry, we can get superb traction because of the tremenduous weight bias on the rear tires of a Class C.
