Salvo,
Great shots!
Now ... who'll be the first Class C owner to post photos of their rig on the White Rim Trail ... and better still camping someplace off it overnight?
About our most challenging drive to date has been on the "RVs Not Recommended" valley floor loop road at Monument Valley ... but we weren't allowed to camp out there so that adventure probably doesn't count. I'm mostly interested in unusual spots for taking a Class C to, and then camping there for at least one night.
Some relatively inexpensive mods to, or features to look for on, small Class C motorhomes would help with off-pavement adventures:
- Change to tires of a larger diameter size than what came on it (if the wheel wells will allow it) to easily gain ground clearance.
- Have air bags installed in the rear (even if not needed normally) to make possible temporary raising of the rear end overhang for easier crossing of washouts across roads.
- For new purchases ... order the motorhome with a limited slip rear differential if available.
- For new or used purchases ... try to stay away from slides for added structural integrity.
- For new or used purchases ... look for a heavier rated chassis under the coach than what would be required for merely it's weight, as a heavier duty chassis may provide larger brakes and increased cooling for improved out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere reliability and safety.
