Hey Boondockers; what TT do you have?
Hi All, Just wondering about those who mostly boondock in remote areas; especially in the west. What TT do you have, and what have you learned, or rather what would you do differently in regard to y...

I have a Ameri-lite 25 ft bunk house that I boondock in. The first 6 years was all up in the Rockies of Colorado and I went full time on the first of the year. It has been down trails that required 4x4 in the Rockies but I just haven't seen anything like it in the desert. Here the worse is washboards and I'd rather have the rocks honestly.
I do have the axles flipped for clearance and it still takes forever to go a few miles over the real rough stuff. I have to pay attention to where both the wheels of the truck and trailer are, watch how far the trailer tilts and creeping along so slow the the speedometer doesn't move is the norm. I have also seen trails in the back country that would slow the truck to 15 MPH with switchbacks that wouldn't allow any faster.
The Ameri-lite is about the cheapest thing new that I saw in that size. It has a 3000 pound CCC and the construction description and pictures are the same that Gulfstream uses for there other higher end units. Some of the differences like not being as wide or as tall work in my benefit as they allow me down tighter trails or under lower branches. It has gotten its share of pin stripping but that's not the trailers fault.:)
