Thanks all,
Very helpful info. It sounds like big heavy rigs handle the roads when approached with prudence.

Absolutely. Did our fair share of off highway and a little off road with the rig listed below in AK.
I can say it would go a lot farther than a class C. Mostly due to rear overhang and length.
The biggest limiting factor I had besides overall clearance for the camper from trees/branches since I wasn't cutting my way in to somewhere and didn't want to trash the camper sides with tree limbs, was the lack of being a Dually and/or no sway bar.
Big potholes and any off camber stuff required 1st gear creeping or even low range because the camper would start rocking a lot. I should have had more truck or at least more suspension under my 2500.
No problem pulling 10-15% grades. My rear overhang was great with no hitch carrier since the bottom of the camper was at bed height. I was certainly not limited by dragging anything , high centering, jacks clearing etc. did drag the hitch carrier over a few things. It was like an alarm that things were getting steep, lol.
Mileage was 12-14mpg combined, typically driving like I stole it when there road was empty and smooth.
