Backcountry dirt roads? or paved roads?
Everything. Mostly highway miles like everyone else, but, secondary roads with massive holes in them everywhere, speed bumps, you name it. Lots of things have caused it to take a hit here and there. I’ve also taken it into dispersed camping in the mountains in Colorado. I don’t know if anyone here is familiar with that stuff, but you know how the roads are if you are. Pretty much jeep trails. But never got out of granny gear on that. I was trying not to scrape the axles on the rocks.
I think the majority of damage has been from really really rough roads where you are traveling about 40 or 50 miles an hour and it just all goes to hell with huge holes in the road. Those type of roads are the ones that have given the most hits.
But either way, I definitely need a much more robust platform to hold this truck camper onto the frame of this truck.
