No, thanks. I can be more comfortable and go just as far into the boonies, with an 11 or 12 foot slide in camper on a Dodge CTD one ton 4X4. Been there, did that, decided the camper was too cramped, especially with more than two people in it.
I have seen Sero Scotty Class C motorhomes (chassis-mount campers) on Dodge truck chassis, both 4X2 and 4X4. Much nicer rigs than the one pictured. Sadly, they are no longer built.
I once thought of getting a surplus military 4X4 ambulance to convert into a back country camper, but decided I didn't want the expense or the work.
Now, in my twilight years, I am not all that interested in going where I have to have four wheel drive. If there is a road, there is no solitude, and the fishing isn't all that good. If there is no road, it is off limits to vehicle travel. So, if the Class A can't get there, I don't want to go.
