How much off road can they handle?

[Kermit]

Poor Jeff Nelson. The OP asked a simple question about a hard side camper's viability and survivability off road, which I thought was a valid one, and it comes to this. These user forums are all about a lot of personal opinion and a few facts. Sometimes, as hard as we pound, the round peg just doesn't fit in a square hole. My mea culpa is that I have supervised a few thread highjacks myself. My final thought is that in all the issues discussed above, form follows function.

I dunno, get a group of people talking no matter where the locale is nor the subject matter, the conversation is going to bounce around...then usually there is a
pause, and someone will spout up, "what were we talking about again?" usually it is mostly rubbish, then again you might learn something new.

As for hard-side campers off road...American made slide-ins with except about 3 manufactures, have nothing on what is being made in Europe, OZ, and Africa.

I have seen hard-sides that barely go off road and are falling apart no long after purchase. Full composite structures seem better suited than panel over frame construction. Sure all personal opinion...

YMMV

I would say if you really want a vehicle/camper combo that will take a pounding, get something like what Maltec of Germany builds.
