Melbourne 4x4
Noted the Melbourne 4x4 positioned as a separate product during my periodic check of what's up with Jayco: I like the looks exterior and interior, ground clearance and the 4x4. Haven't seen ...

If I had this I'd go back to some of the high ground clearance roads in the Medicine Lake volcano area of northern California.
We've been into that area with our 24 foot Itasca Class C. No problem where we were offroad - but we had to of course slow way down and it was the dry season.
I think we went back in there to get into Lava Beds National Monument through the back entrance ... we made it too. We'd like to go back and stay awhile at Medicine Lake to try the fishing.
That whole four-corners area of California/Nevado/Idaho/Oregon is right up there with Utah as my favorite RV'ing areas.
Our first trip we were doing the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, California section from Lassen Volcanic National Park, and were slowed down by all the road expansion joints and cattle guards (where are those FSDs?). The one turn-off we saw looked rutted and more clearance than we had. Ended up going around on the highways and arriving from the North at Indian Well CG at dusk.
2nd trip we knew we wanted to explore more and went up by Mammoth Crater out of Lava Beds. Road not bad MH would have been fine if I recall correctly. Took a look at going up the Glass Mountain loop road which was steep and rocky, but decided to save it for next time. That would be an interesting place to boondock with a 4x4.
