2wd or 4x4?
Wife and I are in the process of buying a 26-30' fifth wheel and truck to pull it for fulltime use. We plan on doing a lot of boondocking and hitting BLM spots and are wondering if 2WD is enough or...

A dual rear wheel truck with weight is pretty capable. Carry a good portable air compressor like a ViAir so you can air tires way down for flotation if the need arises.
You don't normally "Wheel" a 5th wheel RV over jeep trails to boondock, at least not without your repair shop along to put the trailer back together once you get there...:D
Funny, I actually posted on one of Ray's youtube video to ask him. He said they don't chance it like a lot are saying.
Having a 2wd now I understand the wet grass and other things. I guess the wife and I will just have to just see.
Oh and to the person carrying chains, do your self a favor and carry carpet. Sounds crazy but it works. Toss the carpet down under the tire and pow. You would be amazed how it works.
Carpet? Lol.
Not saying it doesn't work, but 2 different applications. Chains are for before you get stuck. Ever try to chain up after being buried in the snow?
Carpet is for after you're stuck but better not have to go far. Get plumb wore out running out and flopping those carpet pieces ahead every 10ft!!
