Thanks Rubiranch for the great detail. I'll take a look at WKAYL's video!
I was curious about some of these challenging trails with respect to RV's in the Tiger/ER/Class B categories.
As a side note I do have a fuel injected GMC Z71 4WD P/U with locking rear and manual remote front diff set up fairly rugged that I'm sure could deal with the likes of what you describe .... but I live too far from CO. I bought it specifically for off-road special-permitted volunteer work that I do in the rugged outback of Northern CA's largest state park where driving by the general public is not even allowed.
I would really like to see a forum topic, eventually, that includes photos of the most unusual and/or toughest places people have got their RV rigs into and out of without assistance.
BTW noticing your equipment list, just recently I sold a 1965 Ford HD F250 2WD with a posi rear, four on the floor, 15 rear leafs on each side, 3 gas tanks, and cascade brake boosted that I upgraded from the stock 351 to a 390. I could drive right to my back door here in the mountains using no gear lower than one down from the highest - 3rd. The GMC needs it's gears to get to my digs, but that long-throw 390 could do it through pure twisting power.
For what it's worth we spent four years at Hill AFB in Utah and explored the deserts and mountains some, in and around Utah. Unfortunately all we had at the time was a fastback Mustang pulling a tent trailer .... we never got stuck but did blow out tires on the trailer!
