Class C motorhomes can go off pavement just fine. The wide frame rails and track width actually makes them much more stable than they look.
If a standard 2wd isnt enough, you can easily add 4x4 to any Class C, but they are still best for snow and sand because of the departure angle.
Here is one done by Ujoint Offroad, but QuadVan does them too.
For somebody needing a true expedition vehicle, the most popular choice an an E350 Sportsmobile:
Then there's also XP Camper which can be built on any cab-chassis pickup or van based:
Finally, there's http://earthroamer.com/ who probably made expedition style rigs popular in the US.
Let's face it, 99.9% of RV owners have no reason to leave pavement. Heck, most of the US doesn't even have good opportunities to get off the beaten path. But for those who need something, there are options. I've spent enough time driving Japanese cabovers I know I would not want one for an RV chassis. That said.... my long term plan right now is to make build a Dakar-style Frightliner Argossy all terrain motorhome. I like cabovers for some uses, but not the little cab forward trucks.
