It seems to be for the really hardcore folks. I do not belong to it. I'm happy here.

Really doubt there are enough here, aside from the pickup camper folks who have their own forum. As far as I know if one doesn't count them there are four 4x4's represented here. And since you post such pic-heavy posts that take forever to scroll thru, I won't be back to this thread. Sorry.
Jim
"forever" is longer than that.
i like the pic's

I'd prefer a more open forum category titled "Motorhomes Offroad".
Interesting idea, you can find some of this in the Boondocking forum.
This approach would open up the discussions to include the whole offroad spectrum for motorhomes ... EXCLUDING truck campers, tow trailers and 5th wheels.
It seems most of the off-road folks use truck campers so excluding them would be limiting.
Topics could cover such areas as:
1) Owner built 2X4 and 4X4 motorhomes to be used offroad - build topics
Owner built and modified RV's are always interesting!
2) Bought 2X4 and 4X4 motorhomes to be used offroad - owner modifications and added equipment topics
These are so costly and the "adventures" seem to approach extreme backpacking stories. Climbing all 7 mountain ranges for instance. Taking an RV across Africa. I guess that would not be a forum I would be that interested in, but maybe the extreme folks?
3) How to drive a motorhome safely and reliably offroad
Slowly and with emergency supplies like an air compressor etc.:h
4) How to camp in a motorhome offroad.
Silently, and with as little light as possible.:Z
5) How to maintain a motorhome that is used offroad
Constantly fix the damage that you do to it! Cracked a faucet connection on our last trip and will be replacing our steps that were caught on a rock on a 2x4 road, after we lost the training wheels along the way--and buying new training wheels too. Rats.:E
6) Offroad camping destinations that are considered to be 2X4 motorhome accessible
Arizona is one!
7) Offroad camping destinations that are considered best traveled to only in a 4X4 motorhome
Definitely Arizona, but I'm sure there are lots of spots in other states that we can't go in our RV.
Probablhy a forum like this would get off to a slow start, but pick up steam eventually as more folks became interested in trying it with the advice of others in the forum who have done it. For instance, we take our MH offroad but with no real forum to talk about it much.
Post to boondocking, it is slow most of the time! 🙂
