Help with upgrading to handle offroad
Hello, I am fairly new to RVing. We recently bought a 2005 Jayco Jay Feather 23b Travel Trailer in pretty good condition, with all factory parts and no upgrades. Weighs 4000 lbs dry, 5000 lbs GVWR...

We have upgraded our trailer for very gentle off-roading (actually on road, but they are rocky dirt roads). We flipped the axle for greater clearance, installed upgraded leaf springs, and added heavy shocks with neoprene bushings. We put on 14 inch tires, rather than the original 13 inch. All of the cabinets and doors and drawers have locks.
And we go very, very slowly -- rarely over 5 mph on really rough roads. The trailer has as much axle clearance as our truck does.
