The Moab pictures are true... there are YouTube vids of Sportsmobile upfits easily handling "hot tubs" in Moab... indentations in the rock that are difficult for even Jeeps.
Problem is that E-350s are not being made. I'm hoping SMB can do something with the Transit (by upfitter agreement, 4x4 upfits on the Sprinter are verboten, and the FWD ProMaster is just impossible to add an entire rear drivetrain.)
I'd say, if I had to make a vehicle like the SMB van, it would wind up being a custom "C" based on a pickup truck chassis like a Tiger Motorhome. Another idea is a class "C" with the Quigley upfit that is offered by Phoenix Cruiser. Even though its chassis is a Ford E-350 or E-450, everything past the cab would be from the RV maker.
