Hrmmm ..... RAM9000+ was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Terminator movies. At least that's how their rig seems to me when parked next to my itty-bitty Tacoma TRD. Their truck matches up similar to what your friend has so maybe it'll be better than expected. Their top-heavy Four Wheel Campers pop up and long wheelbase made me ixnay taking them down Lippincott though.
I had been thinking about Strozzi Ranch initially, and really enjoy the general area you mentioned, but we're going to be in DVNP before Esmeralda County does their usual grading so will probably skip that part for now. I've also snow camped at Strozzi in March before, which I thought was hilarious, but was jarring to my friends who I took to DVNP for their first time ever and didn't bring much in the way of cold weather gear.
I've never explored Marble or Echo Canyon before, so maybe it'll be okay in the end. I'm wondering if maybe grabbing a spot on Greenwater Valley Road after Geologist's Cabin – and specifically taking them up to Dantes View for sunset – would be more memorable than Echo Canyon though.
