I have some experience with light offroading with hard sides. I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a camper, how comfortable you want to be, how much room you need and what type of camping you will be doing.
I started with a northstar laredo, which had the best offroad capability of the campers I have owned. It had the smallest holding tanks, and the cassette toilet filled up in one day. I am not able to dump my tanks while boondocking in anza borrego state park. Sleeping was okay when my kids were very small
My next camper an eagle cap 800 was wider and taller, still great offroad hard side. It provided larger holding tanks but still was a non-basement camper and lacked a bunk bed for my son. As my kids continued to grow I needed more room.
Awesome trip & photos, Thank You.
Then I found the perfect offroad camper (except for the tie downs...that is another story)
The wolf creek 850. This camper is perfect for light off road use. It is taller and I get a bit more sway than the eagle cap, but has huge holding tank capacity, and comfortable sleeping room for a family of 4. I would recommend buy used and find out what you want then upgrade to the camper you really want. Also, I have never seen a dually when we go out on the jeep trails with the camper.
Good luck
