Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

The wilderness is not a stadium where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, it is the cathedral where I worship.

Portal axles give you 18 inches of clearance and the flexible frame is better on uneven terrain than the rigid frames typical of most off-road vehicles.
Toyota trucks and SUV's can be fitted with portal axles as well. Some are a full axle, and others a knuckle units( replacing the stock knuckles).

I searched for a year, to find one in my price range ($350) and lucked out. Over the last few years I have owned it, done lots of little repairs. It has:
Heat - Propane
LED Lights (.085 watts X 6)- project replacement
100 Watts of solar panels (plus a 40Watt portable panel W/12V marine grade battery, trolling motor and fish finder)
2 X 6 volt golf cart batteries for 12V volt system (440 APH of storage at 10 amp draw)
Two burner Stove - Propane
No Toilet
Removed water tank for extra storage (5 Gallon blue water jugs)
Sink is functional (wash dishes, clean up)
No Fridge - Freeze plastic water bottles for coolers, that stay in truck cab
19" Led TV (23 watt), with USB computer Speakers (2 watts) for entertainment (connected to Hard Drive (6 watts)with 600 Movies)
With all lights/TV/Speakers total draw is 67 watts
800 watt inverter (26 watts when in use)
4 X USB/9V marine grade switched charging stations (phones, GPS, Radios, Tablet, Laptop)
I have never run out of power even after 4 days of no sun
Dollar store puck lights, with dollar store batteries (for individual night lighting)
I also carry a 5K geny, BBQ, Turkey Fryer burner, tables, pop up shelter and comfort items.
Like others have said, warm space to sleep, basic needs to cook, and power, everything else is comfort related.
Sounds and looks like you've got a great little rig there! I did the camper thing myself a few years ago, but it was just too small for my wife n I and the dog. So, picked up an old trailer (cheap$) and rebuilt it. We have our cabin to spend most of our leisure time but we both love to get out in the boonies and camp.

We need a serious offroad camper from a North American manufacturer.
Every offroad trailer( not a camper) I have seen that is made here has less room then a 5 X 6 garden/utility trailer. But cost over 8 grand.
