Hard side or soft side pop up? We had a Fleetwood E2 pop up, had a front deck for hauling toys, high ground clearance. 20 ft nose to tail. Most of our camping was off the grid. Had higher ground clearance than my F250 4x4.

Trying to stay away from tiny/teardrop campers. Should clarify that I am looking for a camper that can handle gravel and open logging roads better than a glamping model. Off grid capable of course.
..
I’ve been a tent camper/hunter all of my life. Finally hit the stage where I was done roughing it on a winter deer hunt where the wind blew continuously and temps never got above freezing. You had to be inside either the tent or truck if you weren’t hunting. Heater had to be going. Even though the tent was a good one, Kodiac, it sucks being inside trying to stay warm. Weather finally won… That’s the problem with the minimalist, overlanding set ups. Weather has to be nice. You’ll be cooking, showering and eating outdoors. Can’t stand up in them either.
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

Sounds like you need a motor home, trailer, and a jeep.

I have the pursue. Intech builds high quality trailers with great components. I took it thru some nasty stuff in Georgia in January and the limitations come from whatever you’re towing with. The only negative I found in mine is the frame has small triangle shaped fenders below the side door. Mud thrown from my tires landed on it and I had to remove it to open the door. Other than that it towed great, all dometic appliances, superb awning system, all aluminum construction. https://intech.com/rv/![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/tgTbGJZM/B29-CFC41-5-C37-4-DFC-A2-C0-890815-E32-C2-B.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/dVJvn4qv/DF05-F15-B-AF19-4-BD6-AA0-F-E54-EA27-AE49-C.jpg) Yep Intech makes good stuff. I have a two axle Flyer model that they don't appear to make any more. It has two popout queen sized tents the pull out galley and A/C. I can haul my Grizzly and Rokon together or can haul my Kawi Teryx with room for a couple of ice chests and outdoor furniture. The wife complains about the lack of a lavatory so I put up a shower tent with portable hot water and a porta potty so she doesn't have to rough it.

CRS, A couple friends have the Forest River/Wolf Pack and seem to be happy with their choices. They do pull them off road in the mountains.

Wife can, I have to hunch. "Off-road" is subjective. It should go anywhere our twenty year old Trailblazer will pull it. It's short, and has good clearance. Welded aluminum frame keeps it relatively light, I think around 2000# with the add-ons. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/191197.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/191198.jpg)

Thank you for all the replies and ideas. Exactly the kind of input I was looking for.
Trying to stay away from tiny/teardrop campers. Should clarify that I am looking for a camper that can handle gravel and open logging roads better than a glamping model. Off grid capable of course.
I bought a solar panel many years ago to keep my two gel batteries charged. Have a catalytic heater installed, along with a furnace for use when I have electricity access.
Back to research..... crs...after a lot of thought and research I bought a 14 foot ez hauler that I will be converting.....minimalistic approach ...warm ..dry..stand up in...good off road etc...for heat I bought dickenson marine propane fireplace......bob

I think it could be the best option out there. #1 is you get everything you want and nothing you don't. I saw a conversion that was done super cool. The guy carried 2 dirt bikes in it. He gave me a tour and I'd never seen anything quite like it. It had the standard toy hauler style crankup bed which gave room for the bikes but he'd done so much more. The guy had a lot of talent and it showed, he'd ordered the tallest cargo trailer he could get. He told me he'd bought a junk RV for basic parts like windows and tanks, frig and some of the electronics. The holding tanks were mounted inside instead of underneath, that made for a base for his cabinets and also his bathroom. He did a lot of custom LED lighting, a split AC and plenty of solar on the roof. I noticed a bigger inverter style generator in the bed of his truck, it looked to be 3500-4000 watt size, either a Honda or a Predator I'm not sure which. It had no short comings and he said it cost him far less than anything comparable that he could of bought.

Sounds pretty spot-on, Bob. Would love to see pics when you get it.
