but it's a hassle to unhitch and has very limited ground clearance. It's fine for nicely graded dirt roads, but that's about it. We want to do more back country, crummy road, boon docking. We live in Southern California, and enjoy the local deserts and occasional longer trips around the big four corners West. In a year or two, we will be able to slow down with work and want to do more ambitious exploring into Northern Canada a Alaska.
You might be well served with a
B van from a firm like Sportsmobile. They are 4x4 vans with living quarters and absolutely no hitching hassles. Alaska, deserts and mountains will be easy to traverse in it.
