The worse the road, the better the campsite

[Riwright]

.. at least that's what I'm finding so far.

I am doing pretty well at horsing that big ol' 3124KS into some pretty challenging campsites but I am thinking about doing some upgrades to improve performance for those "challenging" roads.

I want people to come down a lonely back road, see my camper and say "how the heck did they get THAT thing in here?"

The things I'm considering:

1.) Lift kit. I think this will give me a little more clearance. (I already have 15" tires)

2.) Some sort of skid plates welded to the rear of the camper to make it a more better sled when the rear drags. I am afraid it will just rip the plumbing off right now.

I'm also thinking that chains might be a good idea. The TV is not 4WD so some improvement in traction might be good to have. I live in Ca though, so I don't get a lot of mud.

Any opinions from those who have boldy gone where no Trailmanor has gone before?
