know you're trying to impress me, but the place I grew up going deer hunting every fall had a rougher road than that for the last mile or so into camp, and I'm not exaggerating in the least. You don't seem to have a very good understanding of what the terrain in the American west is like.
Did you know that Australia is the flattest continent on earth? I realize it has a lot of dirt roads on it, but being flat makes it a lot easier to drag a trailer around because it's generally going to be easier to find places to turn around - or get around vehicles you encounter coming from the other direction.
On a narrow dirt road, towing a 36ft 5ver, I would say impossible? Yes I have been to Idaho, South Dakota etc Australia is not all that flat, hilly would be more like it especially near the coasts,
So you have towed a 5ver over of 2,000 miles of dirt road? I guess you have turned a 36ft 5ver around on a track this wide?
I've never had a trailer that big. As a kid we had about a 20' bumper pull and then later a 24' fifth wheel. As an adult I've owned a 19' pop-up and recently upgraded to a 32' fifth wheel (axle flip lift already purchased but not yet installed). The fifth wheel I just bought is going to be more limited in terms of where it can go - no question about that. I have not pulled my new fifth wheel much at all yet, but yeah I've driven a lot of miles in other trailers on dirt roads. Mostly not terrible roads, but enough bad ones to tear up my share of stabilizer jacks.
