I seem to get get kinda focused on this topic, don't I.
That was rhetorical...
If anyone is reading this thread and seriously considering getting a 4x4 RV...the benefits are great, indeed. As was pointed out, you don't want only the 4x4 bit but also you want it lifted. In fact, just getting the lift adds more usability than the drive portion. A person get that then just add a posi-trac rear end and cross the 4x4 part right off. Unless sand is in the equation...you might like the front tires powered for sand.
This is my 99 E350 and I will stack it up against most anything for sheer 'get me in, get me out' ability. It cost me 40,000CDN taxes included 7? years ago. If someone from the US was looking to do the whole meal deal...you take your fave RV to Kamloops Light Truck in Kamloops BC...it was $22,000...it will be more today of course...and deduct 34% because of the $ difference.
If you use your 4x4 for it's intended and designed purpose it is going to get scratched and banged up a bit and there will be other wear involved. If one were to have paid out $200,000 for a fancy rig...you sure wouldn't be getting that if you had to sell it.
An aside..mine is armoured underneath so I don't rip out the plumbing when I exit a ditch or whatever. Has a boat rack on the ruf, 250 W solar with 3 batteries. Proper bumper, winch and driving lights. That is all extra.
