I don't know about the paved road thing Tatest. I have a 24ft 01, Coachmen, with a slide.
Now I admittedly am not the brightest crayon in the box, But I have driven at least a 3 or 4 thousand miles, of gravel roads with it. Some good, some very rough. And probably a thousand miles or so on logging road stuff.
Probably hard on it I agree. But my rule of thumb is if I can get a passenger car up it, I will take the RV.
My Rv being short, has little rear overhang, And better ground clearence than any passanger car
That said I agree, it is not a truck, but I think he can probably gets what he suggests, towing a jeep into some pretty remote boondocking spots, up some pretty rough roads and go forth in the jeep from there
That's been my experience at least. Now the truth is, of course that way of thinking, has well, got me into a situation or two, Thats lets just say, the DW was not real pleased about. But never have been stuck yet. Knock on wood!!!!!! Been yelled at a few times though. LOL
