If the man who has a mammoth on a 550 tells you you can go on trails with it then I would say that is your answer. "In my opinion" The first pic does not match the second pic builds. The first pic looks like a delivery van but the second pic looks like trail riders. Completely different models even if they are the same frame. Also, with all the stories I and others have posted about broken frames on 3500's I would completely stay away from them and go strait to the top with a 5500 class truck. From the pics I have seen like the one you posted "Broken frame" it has seriously made me reconsider my truck camper combo, So much that we are looking at TT's again. I aint getting any younger! I would not be able to fix a broken frame nor could I afford to have it fixed. Good luck in your adventures.

Second pic is of a Earthcruiser Expedition vehicle that can go very much Off Road. Your advice I think is pretty spot on as regards heavy Truck Campers

I was just commenting on how they looked "to me" and I agree the earth roamers are very much an off road machine. My point was that the first pic does not look like an off road machine. Did not mean they were the exact same frame just mistyped my thoughts. I've done that before...:o
