Bryan, if you take that big rig down unmaintained trails, my hat is off to you!! My narrow little trailer is smaller than one of your slideouts, and there are many times when I make DW get out and walk in front of the truck to make sure we can tow the trailer into a tight place (and out again). Sand, mud, and snow are also issues -- not deal-killers, but things to be overcome with care.
I have tried to modify the trailer for off-pavement use (axle flip, heavy components, etc.), but I sure wish Arctic Fox made a little rugged trailer -- I would jump at the chance to own something like that.
Yup, walking the route is a must. So is carrying a chainsaw, but so far I've only had to use the hand saw. As I mentioned before, I have needed to winch myself out of a bad spot, and I carry extra blocks so I could side-pull the trailer if needed. Also, having helpers of the roof pushing against trees can gain a few more inches of clearance.
A/F did try selling a small trailer a while back. It was like a large ruggedized tear-drop. Pretty neat trailer! I think the recession is ultimately what killed that one. If they were selling it today, it would be very popular with the crossover SUV owners IMO.
