I've had both. For frame of reference I'm a dirt biker. Years ago I had a f350 4x4 diesel and a Viking pop up camper, you cranked it open,similar to today's Outback or Palomino. My camper had a wet bath, 30 gal of water, 1 four gal propane bottle. I welded a receiver hitch up front to carry a bike. The rear hitch I didn't want to use and block the door.
Off road, you are tall. Tall and tippy. Any real distance you may be doing damage to the camper. Eventually my walls in corners started to separate a bit. Only camper I've seen that handles the bouncing is a Four Wheel brand like a Grandby. Those are spartan. Think of the four wheel drive useful for sand, mud, minor stuff. People do more but not always successful.
The van I use to get to ride campsites is a class b coachmen. Does about as well off road for what I need, a locking rear end can help a lot and is affordable. No comparison. The van body is a lot tougher than any camper. Lot easier in the wind too. Better ride, more convenient.
