4X4 MOTORHOMES
I don’t know where to post this request, so here it is. I would like to suggest that a new category be added to the selection list for recreational vehicles. This category should be 4X4 Motor homes. ...

I believe that after having the experience of this type of RV'ing, we are "spoiled" and have to adjust our expectations to camp in a park. We don't drive through water because we have done most of our camping in Arizona. We don't think it is "extreme" because we do it and we are not extreme types, just a couple of older folks who enjoy hiking in "wilderness" areas. We hike a mile or two and come back to a delicious grilled dinner, a warm bed and a movie on the TV. But this luxury has "cost" us. I'd love a 4x4 rv like Gary Haupt's, but we don't want to spend the money on one. So we are using an older but wonderful Itasca 2X4 and we do stay on the roads, just roads that we are happy other RVs are mostly not using!
This is a 10 mile mostly one lane road from Arizona's Four Peaks Wilderness to Lake Roosevelt.
Some pretty scary curves and rocky spots.
The resulting damage to our steps. Decided to replace them and our training wheels that were lost on the road.
What did we learn from this adventure? Be sure the training wheel bolts are tight before a trip? Be sure the rocks don't tear off your electric steps? Carry spare plumbing parts? (actually had something I could rig up but missed a hiking afternoon to do it) Buck up, you love this type of camping!
