Id take a look at northstar as they are non basement so will sit a little lower than most hardwalls. Ive seen a few videos of people off roading with them in Australia. Pretty impressive stuff
Many campers have a basement or void below the floor where the fresh water and waste water holding tanks are mounted. Basements are typically 8-12 inches tall. Non-basement models don't have this added height which is better for off-road use.
I agree with the Northstar recommendation if you want a well-made camper with a lower center of gravity. Unfortunately, these non-basement models have very small holding tanks. That's the only knock against them.
