Are you looking for roads to drive with your camper, or off road type driving to practice off roading on? Myself, I think the white Rim trail would easily qualify as a "Learner" route. I only remember one spot there that you might find difficult where you have a drop on one side and might tend to hug and possibly kiss the ledge on the other side. If you feel uncomfortable here just use a spotter. Other areas with similar scenery are the San Rafael Swell with roads varying in degree of difficulty and good boondocking spots being plentiful. The Grand Staircase Escalante Area has a lot of well documented roads where you can read up and get the thoughts of a wide variety of folks who have driven it.
For off roading with an unloaded truck, Moab is hard to beat. There are a lot of good trail guides for the area with a pretty good rating system so that you'll be able to slowly progress as to capability. For some of the tougher routes in Moab you need a truck modified far beyond stock to hope to make it through, or at least make it through without tearing things up.
