In 16 years of full-timing and traveling constantly we boondocked on BLM and national forest roads all the time with our 40' motorhome. Many, many are good hard-packed roads. We never had an issue. You would soon get the hang of choosing the right roads. The Benchmark individual state atlases are excellent. It shows unpaved roads clearly and the majority that are marked we found to be good. You wouldn't want to take a big rig on a logging road and coastal area roads could be iffy because of sand. We also went off-road on our summer trip to Alaska through Canada and the Yukon. You'll find awesome spots to stay free by exploring a little!
