This way you could just use a combo ball/pintle hitch on your TV, and only need to swap the stinger on the trailer from a regular hitch to a pintle ring.
Another option I discovered (while looking at one of the other options referenced above), is aMcHitch, from Australia. It looks kinds cool and like it might serve all of your needs https://www.mchitch.com.au and they ship worldwide. Video link:

I've seen several videos of off road rvs. These purpose built campers are designed to go off-roading. Note the unit in the video doesn't have a typical tongue jack, nor any propane tanks on the frame. What it does have is a beefed up frame, suspension , skid plates, etc. I don't know of any non-purpose built unit that would survive the stress placed upon it by off-roading on any surface rougher than a graded dirt or gravel road. JMHO.

Jonas, if you're doing that kind of camping...WOW. That's some serious kind of crazy camping in the extreme. Looks like a ton of fun and quite the adventure. I for one now understand what you're end game is. Before...Not so much.
This is a WAG, so take it for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure they may not be more a handful of people on here with similar experiences. Thanks for opening my eyes to something new.
Alright, who's ready to go camping?

That video was good. That is a completely different group of people who would even think of dragging a trailer through that. I would want my dirt bike for taking that trail.

OP, with your TT you don't need a WDH. Some type of articulating hitch is the ticket.
