If you are willing to drive under ten miles an hour, you can upgrade an ordinary trailer and take it on rocky roads -- that is what I have done -- see my link below. Heavy leaf springs, shocks, axle flip, careful maintenance, etc. But the longest road of that type I have ever taken it on was about 25 miles -- more than two hours of careful driving.
And if you want to go on really tricky roads with big ledges and so forth, a truck camper is the only way to go.
Thanks for posting this. I really like how much you get out and all the cool places you take that little fun finder.
I'm not going to go rock crawling with my trailer, but my favorite camp spots often have 6-12" deep ruts with some rocky sections that I'd like to get past. It weeds out all the other pavement pounders, and I have a little more solitude that way. Thanks for adding your two cents, I feel you get me, since you do the type of camping we do.
