Is that a PUP in that picture?? It looks like maybe a tall hard sided pup?
Anyway, I have a very small TT that we use for offroad boondocking. (Not really offroad -- off pavement, rocky dirt roads). It's a 12 foot Fun Finder, modified for rough travel. See links in my signature for more details.
But honestly, if you want maximum off road capability, a truck camper is the king. We decided that a TC is a little too cramped for us. So we use the TT as a remote base camp. During the day, we take the truck to really rough areas. Sometimes there is a TC at the trailhead. Sometimes the road is too rough even for a TC -- low branches, narrow trails, etc.
Anyone interested in using a TT for rough roading must be aware that a TT will slow you down. You can't go fast over big rocks or you will damage the frame, even if the TT is lifted.
