I do not see anything off-road worthy here, but it does state only "forest roads", which are smooth gravel with some potholes at worst. Lots of stuff still hanging below the floor to get ripped off should one of those forest roads get washed out and you go through a rut and rip everything off under neath, including the stabilizers and sewage pipe ends.
Hitch? Don't all trailers have a hitch?
I have an idea, name a line of trailers, Roof, that will pull in the buyers. Who does not want a roof on their RV?
I like they are going in the right direction. Light and towable is good. Aluminum walls make it light and superior to wood that will rot unitl something breaks. Wood is easy to fix.
There are a lot of RVers making their own camper trailers out of the much much more durable and capable cargo trailers. Perhaps the "industry" is just slow to catch on. There are "industrial" , err, manufacturers making "off-road" campers, but there are just regular campers with big off-road tires on them. They still have all the junk hanging below deck and are not really off-road worthy other than a couple extra inches of clearance.
To get an off-road worthy camper will cost a lot more than just different tires, so I think this will always be a speciality item made by few and small "manufacturers".
Most people's idea of off road is cutting across the grass to that level gravel tent pad in the campground or going 1/2 mile down a smooth gravel road...
