Nice! It is probably not as "simple" as you think. High-end windows, etc.
Re the 4x4 issue (my Tiger is 4x4), I use high clearance much more often than 4x4. Of course, when you really need 4x4, there is no substitute. It is very possible to have a great backwoods trip without ever using 4x4.
Yep, and the windows in the coach are up high, so they're less accessible from the ground... good idea for 3rd world & expedition travel. Looks like there's even a sliding door to close off the access between cab & coach at night. $260,000+ will buy you a _lot_ of nice engineering ;). Bet they've got a quiet furnace that's not a battery killer, too.
I find my most frequent use for the 4x4 on my Tiger is on a steep dirt road leading to a mountaintop observatory that I overnight at 4 or 5 times a year. Going up, it's not quite needed. But coming down, there are a few sections where low range keeps me from riding the brakes. And it's awfully nice 'insurance' elsewhere.
