I have logged many miles on forest service roads in the Sierras and the deserts in Anza Borrego with the pod, I drive slow and watch for bumps. The further out you go the better I always say. I use google satellite maps with which I make sure I have turn arounds Or I drop the pod and scout ahead. And the BLM land out there means free camping and less people! rgds John ------------- http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&title=slopod-180-mods-johnsue - SLOPODMODS John&Sue,SLO,CA 2016 180 HRE, 2013 F150 Eco Boost

Yeah, Google satellite images do seem helpful, but nothing beats a scouting trip. Thanks ------------- 2014 Rpod 178 Mods in Order: 1: Added USB charging port 2: Added Spigot at Fresh Water to make easy empty 3: Solar Panel 4: Cut dinette bench panel to improve access underneath |

+1 on overhanging tree branches. We had the TV antenna ripped off by a mesquite tree in Arizona. It happened in a friend's driveway. I won't make that mistake again. A new antenna head is expensive.
