Robert,
Those big, tall, high ground clearance AWD RV's in your photos all meet my definition of "expedition vehicles" (if their coaches are isolated). What's you definition?
Earthroamer is still producing vehicles ... the original owners were bought out. Check their website - where they talk about 2015 models.
Most Tiger vehicles (but not all) are far from expedition class RVs. Certain of their models do have triangle 3-point isolation of the coach to eliminate off-road torsion forces... which is one important expedition vehicle criteria.
Correct about that, they are all built to eliminate torsional forces. Expedition Vehicles are used for long stays in countries with somewhat challenging terrain. Also they are built to provide considerable comfort while doing so. Others like Sportsmobile are for weekends away, not Expedition Vehicles.
Provan produces Pickup based Off Road Class C's. I gather they have a good reputation. They are mainly go the Americas, although they listed Europe and Japan? On their website, both of those can be better traversed by a car or train
EarthRoamer does not have a good reputation, as you say are now under new management
