Check your leaf spring shackles!
Just went through a pretty rough stretch of the Alaska highway northbound between Destruction Bay and Beaver Creek, YT. Stopped for fuel, and found this: I'm lucky the axle didn't rip off!...

I have the original torsion axles in my '71 Starcraft. With shock absorbers, also, it rides like a caboose back there.
Sprung axles are able to handle more severe roads and a sprung axle will absorb larger shock forces better. The torsion axles excel in a steady rate of deflection but that may result in added tire wear across some road surfaces. Sprung axles are typically used for higher weight trailers.
The shop hands in Fairbanks are going to love that big old tiny house. How high is that roof line? I'd bet anyone that works on it is going to be on the ground, outside.
