Robert,
Maybe what you're calling "offroad" in reference to your expedition vehicle photos and discussions is close to what we call "rock crawling" here in the States.
Of course my Class C, or no Class C, can do that kind of aggressive roving around in the wilderness.
As you imply (...I think), what I call "offroad" where my Class C can go very safely, reliably, and with great lateral stability ... is places similar to those in the video, in your photos above (including the Algerian desert photo), and in my various destination photos I've shown other places in these forums.
For what it's worth, there are plenty of U.S. Class B 4X4 models on the retail market than can come pretty close to rock crawling and still provide an indoor shower when you get there - but at far, far less dollars then those expedition looking vehicles. I'll even go so far as to state that I'll bet that a Tiger Class C RV could be delivered on just the right standard cab length Ford, GM, or Ram 4X4 pickup setup that would sand dune crawl and rock crawl right up there with the expedition vehicles - and at a lot less dollars purchase cost.
P.S. #1: Yes, I do call what my pickup was doing in my photo the beginning of "offroad". Perhaps you should have seen the 30%-plus side-tipped grades in the ravines that we had to travel shortly after that river crossing shot. I do this kind of stuff several times a year performing volunteer maintenance in a California outback wilderness park where only backpackers/hikers are allowed except via special vehicle permits for us volunteers.
P.S. #2: I'd still like to compare rear wheel track-widths of tall & narrow looking expedition vehicles to that of my motorhome.
