For me, a winch is a "piece of mind" addition. Funny enough the only time I needed to self recover, I was in my parents drive way... However I usually travel by myself. Even with the additional weight of the camper I am much more comfortable heading out alone with a winch and the proper recovery gear to support the winch.
If you are stuck and alone, this gear is worth its weight in gold. I would not leave the pavement without it.
I have an older Warn MX8000 (now M8000) with 75ft of 3/8" dyneema (synthetic) rope.
I would recommend a larger winch than an 8000lbs unit. I had been given mine prior to the camper. However, I do believe it would be sufficient if only moderately stuck and for a short distance. I don't get to risky when the camper is on.
