Considering a 2011 duchmen for a boondocking base camp

Hey everyone.

I found a 19' Dutchmen sport for sale, but the owner doesn't know the model number. It's a 7' wide outside model is why I'm interested, because I feel it would be easier to maneuver it up narrow dirt forest service roads because its not wider than my truck. But I'm not reading allot of good reviews about Dutchmen in general but mainly cosmetic issues that can be fixed. Not much about delaminating or falling apart. And considering the TT has been on the road for many years, I figure any issues would have been addressed by now.

So my question is, how sturdily are dutchmen TT's built? Can it withstand washboard roads even if everything flies out of the cupboards? Or should I continue to look for a 7x16 narrow track enclosed trailer to convert into the mini toyhauler Id rather have? It's difficult finding any enclosed trailer, let alone a TT that has a wheel track width the same as my single rear wheel truck..

Thanks!

Go slow off road and you’ll be fine. It’s easy to secure the cabinets.
