Mine will not be off road at all, but like Wayner mentions we use paper maps, plan the routes beforehand and get at it.
It’s not uncommon for me to get up in the summer and take off for the whole day by myself. I love the open road.
I say you do it.

I agree with everything that you said except for this part
plan the routes beforehand
My plan for my alaska/north america three ocean tour was:
Head west and turn right :-)
(once in a while I looked for green spaces on the map, and I took a side trip to south dakota and later on the way back to Colorado just because some people suggested it :-)
But there is no wrong way. Find the way that works for you, your lifestyle, your comfort level, your time constraints and get out there.
Vash, a friend of mine is organizing a group to Vietnam, thailand and Laos (similar to the trip I did with him)
Using an organized tour company owned by another buddy of mine.
All inclusive, fantastic hotels and meals, and most importantly some of the best (and worst) roads in the world depending on what you like and which option you chose. The best all inclusive vacation I could think of
His group is leaving Jan 20th if you want to join with them, otherwise if you want to plan it on your own or get in with another group, here is the link. (PM me if you want in on the tour on January 20th, 2020, or see us at the BMW rally in Tennessee in June 2019)
