I'd really consider looking at the Truck Campers... They are not like the old days truck campers...
Of course the downside is you have to deal with breaking camp to head for town to get supplies etc...
Being a avid tent campers from the late 50's up to just a few years ago the game plan was a Jeep pulling a utility trailer and we camped all over the high country of Arizona back in those days.
I am using the off-road jacked up POPUP trailer now and it still fits my needs just fine.
This is my off-road camper... Has all the comforts of home...
We quit sleeping on the ground when they came out with the fold-up beds that had insert slots for air mattresses. Our three room 12X15 tent also had all the comforts of home in it...

Roy,
Since I have a very nicely rigged 4-Runner, I have considered all the off-road oriented trailers, like AT....Sierra and the pop-ups.
I don't do any hardcore off-roading but do typically camp in dispersed state forest sites or primitive campgrounds. Often here in CO that means extended travel on dirt roads. I'm concerned about how the Fleetwood/Jayco campers would hold up to this type of use....what has your experience been?
Appreciate your feedback...
