I want to add tho, that I am not your 'normal' kind of rv'r. I don't go fast unless they are chasing me. I am usually up some little dirt road looking for a great picture. Or bar. With the 4 wheel, I just go anywhere I want to. I am not a 'jeepy' person. No rock crawling stuff. Common sense has to be applied. I took a four wheel drive driving course, courtesy of of the Mojave NP, and the THE most important thing I learned is....stop, get out and walk ahead and LOOK.
