Hello Group
I will soon have my basic truck and still in the researching the camper phase. I expect to "wander" around some just looking for a suitable camper.
Trip/road planning for the new guy. Your thoughts on estimating road(s) vis Benchmark/DeLorme ( AKA Garmin as they bought DeLorme in 16 ) atlas's. FS or BLM, county or state tertiary roads, no rock crawling . Pick a road from a map, check WTW to see if there is a "trip report" for that road and what truck size went down that road at what time of the year, that seems reasonable but perhaps I am overlooking somethings as I am "new".
As I do not want to bite off more than my limited skill set can drive/handle, do not need to prove anything other than studied approach angle ( pun intended ) to my departure angle to the great un-paved west or the roads less traveled.
So starter roads and trips of increasing complexity or technical difficulty by state, county and Starting at "A" and going to "B" you will encounter ....
As you may not read my signature line, expected to be driving a approximately 22'( bumper issues here ) F350 with an unknown at this time popup camper ( width is varies in research today ), preferable with out a basement ( which would make the "land yacht" even longer, please factor that into your thoughts and humor.
