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 ...

Here is an interesting related story with our little red Toyota MR2 Spyder shown.
In Escalante National Monument, we drove the MR2 Spyder to a slot canyon trail head, a 7 mile long, very primitive road limited to 4x4 Jeep types. We drove in and out of deep river washes and a road surface that resembled miniature canyons. We parked at the trail head which had only Jeep Wranglers. The look on the faces of the few people we seen was priceless.
With the MR2 Spyder, what made it work was having the tires close to the bumpers, reducing bumper over-hang. We never scraped the car on anything, even when entering and climbing out of those river washes.
Though 100% successful including no damage of any kind to the car, it was back at our base camp that night when we decided it was time to get a 4x4. My wife loves her 4x4 Jeep Liberty.
My point here is, you can do almost anything as long as you are very careful, and prepared to give up and turn back if the conditions call for it
