Too heavy and probably too expensive to make real off-road I tought.
I prefer to have something more light like a folding camper

Like this but without the front deck




On the other hand Im not sure if is really prepared for off-road (appart of the tires) or will be destroyed in few trips.

The hitch seem to be at standard height given some troubles and several cables appear to be non protected in the lower parts that can be damaged by the stones. Also I seen several door access in the lower parts that can flooded by water in a fording.

Just my opinion Eduardo

Don't need one, but would like to see one and see how much they are. Like most things in life, don't actually need them but if you can have one, why not.

Yup. Costs way more than the car and they're not cheap either.
