I'm not sure what you are thinking is offload. My truck/tc has been on gravel/dirt roads and forest service roads. The real off-road trailers that I've seen that look durable aren't cheap either.
I still have the option to tow, and fit in a single parking space for the most part. I also can take the TC off and use it as a truck. No vehicle with TT can also tow and fit in a parking space. Of course, a TC can also turnaround where almost no TT and vehicle could.
For "real" off-road, I think you are moving into SUV/truck with rooftop tent or lighter popup, but then, the onroad "camping" experience is degraded.
We've been on dirt roads with travel trailer and 5er. Generally avoid forest roads unless familiar more due to branches rather then 4x4ing. Wouldn't change with a monster 13ft tall truck camper.
As you indicated a small pop-up camper makes more sense is going truly into the back country.
