4x2 or 4x4?
OK...lets say your camper is a 4500 lb monster like a Lance 1191 or an Arctic Fox 1140 or a heavier Eagle Cap 995. You may get off the pavement to camp but you aren't going to do the Whazoo with it. ...

Hardly, look at all the people driving Hummers and 4WD SUV's to safely get to the grocery store.
The only big trucks I see with 2WD are the ones pulling horse trailers where the tongue weight gives the DRW tires more than enough traction. Nothing worse than a 2WD pickup with no weight in the bed. My front wheel drive Prius gets me places I could not get to with any 2WD pickup.
Makes for a nice combination having the 4WD 3/4 ton pickup for heavy hauling and getting 13 MPG and the Prius for almost everything else and getting 45 MPG. Prius is actually not a bad hauler - I used it to pickup 30 cases of wine and bring it 130 miles back to my house and cellar.
