If you want 4x4 to go off-road or even onto pipeline or utility access roads, the problem goes beyond 4x4 because RVIA Type C motorhomes typically have miserable clearances, with body extending well below the frame to provide storage, and long overhangs with tight exit angles, to get weight balanced over the dually rear axle.
To avoid these limitations, consider Tiger RVs built on 4x4 Class 3 and Class 4 conventional cab-chassis. Tiger RVs tend to be much smaller than more typical Type C motorhomes, to get package sizes down to off-roadable. For more space, you need to move up to a larger off-road chassis that can carry a bigger box, then you get into six and seven figure price ranges to put a living space atop a military-grade off-road vehicle in Class 5 to Class 7 weight ranges. These will be more likely 6x6 than 4x4, because for off-road tandem works better than dually.
