Down a truly rough road in my class C?
Need advice please. I've been offered a FHU on a remote ranchette where I go horseback riding, but the easements, which are very rutted and rolling, sort of up-and-down lumps in the road, are enough ...

I've gone down some pretty rough roads in my class C (mostly but not exclusively in Alaska). Go slowly and carefully and I don't think it will be much of a problem, with a few caveats. First, if the ground is soft, that could be bad news; the RV is much heavier than the car. Second, if there are quick changes in slope (small hills or valleys, rather than ruts), you may have clearance issues. For basic ruts the class C is usually pretty decent as it does have pretty high ground clearance--it's just long and can't take quick transitions to hills or slopes. Third, overhanging branches and such if present can be problematic, for obvious reasons. Fourth, give some thought to how things in cabinets will be shaken around; it might be wise to move breakables and heavy things from upper cabinets, and use some care when opening them once in place.
Twisting shouldn't be a real problem provided you don't have a defective frame; the twist is taken up by the vehicle suspension, which is designed to move. Jarring and jostling are somewhat controlled by taking things slowly. Going a few times over a bad road to get to a lovely campsite is very well worth it in my opinion.
