Robert,
I know most folks would pay no attention to, or even think important, these couple of things I consider to be possible red flags in the videos:
1) Most of those motorhomes in the videos seem to be awfully low to the ground - at least the outer body panels are. More overall body ground clearance could prevent damage in certain otherwise benign offroad situations.
2) Most of the full width motorhomes in the videos seem to show a lot of inset from the motorhome's wall of the outermost rear wheel (whether it be a SRW or DRW setup). This indicates they're built on the typical narrow frame truck seen so much outside of the U.S.. A wider outer rear wheel track on some of them so as to move the rear wheel right out to the coach walls would provide more lateral stability to the vehicle.
Otherwise .... some beautiful rigs there!!
