I wonder if in situations most campers are liable to get in that 2WD with a locking differential wouldn't work as well as 4WD. I often drive my 4WD F-150 out on the beach here, south of St. Augustine, and find that in loose, fairly deep sand I can go as well in 2WD with the differential locked as I can in 4WD.
I don't have lockers but with True-Trac both front and rear sand is easy.. even up some modest dunes. Stock open front and weak rear clutches I had before was pretty iffy and I had to actually pay attention, not turn too sharp and keep speed up and smooth etc.
