I've been using OsmAnd the same way, offroad on a motorcycle. When you create a route in basecamp you should convert it to a track. Select your route, right click and choose create track from selected route. This track, with optional waypoints can be exported as a gpx. Use that gpx and you'll be fine. I recommend you incorporate a 'Start' and a 'Finnish' waypoint in the track with a logical name. You can navigate to the start of the track and then turn on the track to drive it. This way it's fool proof. Don't make a perfect loop, start and finnish with the same coordinates.
