Mini Class C's : Any being built?
I know you had some Toyota models in the late 80's and going by the Specifications would have been slower than a snail up hill. We do have 4x4 versions that are easy to park and traverse rough terrai...

That one rig in the photos above coming out of the river in the mud just plain looks way to tall and top-heavy relative to it's track-width to me. (Actually, the same as many U.S. truck camper setups do.)
It's just the way I'm wired I guess - a vehicle that is intended to be used in a rugged way has to first and foremost look the part - and that includes eye-ball geometric shape (including tires that fill the wheel-wells), for starters. I'll always default to as wide as possible and as low a roof-height as possible in any vehicle intended for traveling offroad.
BTW, Sportsmobile approach and departure angles are outstanding. If one wants to keep their Sportsmobile's rear overhang short (for a good departure angle), they don't have to order a Sportsmobile on the 4X4 extended van chassis, and the front tires are right at the front for the best approach angle possible. Also, there of course is no need to be concerned about the living area being mechanically isolated from the cab area with the Sportsmobile - however the cab area twists and flexes, the living area twists and flexes in unison with it.
