Take a look at This Picture. I can't show it because sharing is restricted, but you can pull it up. Perfectly illustrates my contention about floor plan vs. wheelbase. Problems seem to arise when the "house" (not counting cab-over portion) looks like it's balanced on the rear axle. I went to the Dynamax site and REV has that balanced look.
I looked at that RAM .pdf and it seems the wheelbase may not be extended. Only way the RV builder could go to get what the design called for was with overhang. I haven't verified Sprinter, but my belief is that Mercedes doesn't allow stretching of Wheelbase OR Overhang.
Many RV builders violate simple weight and balance requirements, including outfits that should know better like Winnebago. Now apparently the respected Dynamax. In today's world it seems form trumps function.
