As far as having it usable offroad, that's a tough one.
I tried to make a dolly for my slide-in camper so I could move it around on the relatively smooth gravel floor in my shed, using 12" pneumatic caster wheels.
Each wheel supposedly holds 300lbs, and my camper only weighs 1500lbs. I figured 10 wheels would be enough for the job.
When I first dropped the weight of the camper on the dolly, I couldn't move it. It just would not roll on the gravel. I had to pump up all the tires to 60PSI and manually steer all the wheels in the same direction, then I could BARELY push it around by hand.
