Gary,
You've probably seen my photos I've posted showing three of us in our Class C rigs camped in Death Valley on a very rocky surface off a very rocky 4X4 road to get there.
We went REAL SLOW and steered around rocks on all rocky surfaces going to and coming from that place - but it was do-able. I guess we were real lucky on not getting any rocks lodged between the rear duals. However, as you talked about earlier ... there were three of us out there for the ulimate in backup in case of an emergency.
By the way, on that same trip one of us (not myself) got off a soft shoulder (on a highway outside Death Valley) real bad and we had to wait for over an hour for ERS to get there and pull that rig out. I broke my 30,000 lb. tow strap (now I carry a high-stength chain rated for towing/pulling) trying to pull them out with my Itasca before the ERS truck arrived. Our cell phones barely would get out to reach an ERS supplier ... that was before I had installed long range cellular system access equipment in the motorhome. IMHO, most RV'ers rely way too much on cell phone connections these days to make up for somewhat lack of preparedness in their RV equipment - considering the long trips they sometimes take in the West on roads that are way out there.
