Robert, The distance between the front and rear axles related to the distance from the under-side to the ground will determine how big of a hump" you can clear. Newells do not have an abundance of ground clearance. There is a limit to overall height on road vehicles and the more ground clearance you have the less space you have in the coach. Less ground clearance also creates a lower center of gravity which contributes to the superb road handling that Newells are known for. Some Newells with air suspension can be temporarily "raised" with the air bags but I would question the wisdom of going into someplace that would require that. Regarding the surface, I have driven my Newell over dry well established grass and firm soil many times. If the area is wet I will not venture onto it. I suppose GVW is a factor but whether it is 50,000 lbs. or 60,000 lbs. if your stuck it is going to get messy! Like kyleb said, It depends on the definition of boon docking. Generally the better a vehicle handles "off road" the less stable it will be "on road".
