I know this is an old post but what did you mean by "boondock"?
Here in Oz we'd say "go bush".
i.e. depart from the pavement of the Queen's highways and travel dirt roads, bush tracks, creek beds, etc.
At which point it's better if a boondocking trailer doesn't have its fenders bolted through the walls of the cabin, so when you sideswipe a tree, or rock, or a roo, deer, emu, donkey, camel or any of the other myriad species of suicidal wildlife we have, you may get away with just damaging the fender.
