What we're talking about is driving the haul roads in the remote parts of the Arctic - thousands of miles of primitive gravel & mud. Some of it razor sharp shale that shreds tires. We spent many days at less than 20 MPH - some of the hairiest times were at 7-12 MPH going down an 18% grade in mud in 1st & 2nd gears in low range with the tach pegged at 3200+ RPM, or pegging the temp gauge on the Allison climbing 7 Mile Hill in the NWT. Been there, done that too. Got another box of T-shirts.
Somewhere you left out the point you mentioned above, in a previous thread. Your intentions is to take the above pictured truck and camper in areas and on roads of questionable surface conditions and you are asking the forum's opinion of whether there might be a problem with the structural integrity survivability in your upcoming use?
With this additional information known, then the informed position to answer your question would be;
Well, HEL* YES !!!!!!
Spend the bucks, move the fuel tank and stop wasting time trying to work around what is really a simple solution, using the truck, camper, tie downs for what and how they were designed to be used.
Hope this answers your question.
