Brian,
I'm curious as to how "well off the beaten path" you are able to get with your great little 2WD Class C?
I was part owner in a pretty wildly set up Jeep years ago, but now only own a 4X4 GMC pickup. I bought the GMC to do volunteer work in the rough backcountry of a large state park in the past, but now only use it for hauling stuff and our daughter uses it some to haul a horse trailer.
With our 24 foot E450 Class C we've boondocked in Death Valley, boondocked way out in the Oregon outback, explored some in Utah in the vicinity of Dubinky Well, and boondocked along the Salmon and Henry's Fork rivers in Idaho.
When off pavement, we go slow as necessary to not let the washboarding destroy things, and to insure that the E450's under-loaded stiff frame prevents any tendency for twisting of the coach's structure.
Isn't it great getting way out there and thumbing your nose at the grid while basking in complete comfort? There's nothing like doing it in a limited fashion without having spent the big bucks for an expedition vehicle!
