We are based in Las Vegas and will travel mostly in the southwest US on short trips. There are some dirt roads that we would like to explore. Some, while pretty free from vegetation, do have decent grades and sometimes rutted surfaces that may be difficult for traction. In addition, a little extra clearance would be helpful.
Also, while we don't plan to travel in snow or rain, it would be nice to have a little extra traction in case we end up in that situation.
A Tiger could do all that and mine frequently does, mostly on unpaved roads in the southwest. I've been driving small 4x4 C's (under 20 feet long) for over 25 years. See a few of my trip reports at TC forum trip reports; scroll way down the list or search for Tiger4x4RV.
Points of note: high clearance has usually been more necessary than 4WD, but I still use 4WD at least a bit on almost every trip. Limited-slip has come in handy a few times. Low center of gravity is good. The smallest width of rig is best; my Tiger is 87" wide, and its predecessor was only 81". Short wheel base helps.
All RV travel on rutted or washboarded roads needs to be SLOW, like 5-10 MPH, or you'll be dealing with damage to your rig.
