Now we are getting somewhere
Gary Haupt wins the prize The 4x 4 Conversions like the Sportsmobile i appears\ to be using other than a graded road.
I am not . I had similar discussions about Trucks with a group of Canadians and US citizens(Better term than Americans) on my European trip:)
In the case of the E350 he was not making "much forward progress" as they would say here. The Muddy conditions would not have helped his car control. The fellow pulling the Campertrailer could have been a bit lighter on the throttle as the trailer was starting to get some pendulum momentum behind his Pickup.
No US Sourced vehicles have enormous problems getting parts outside the US. The "Winnebago" in the Video has no relation with Winnebago in The US(They had a court case about it). How relevant a Pickup based Off Road Motorhome to a Japanese Cabover or European Cabover based one is another topic in itself.
Robert...will this do?

P.S. Please don't get discouraged with this thread ... it's much more interesting than most RV forum topics such as floorplans, black tank dumping, and battery recharging.

Robert ... not mine and not a 4X4, but merely a "typical American 2WD Class C" like you imply that I have ... will this do (ignoring the fact that the driver doesn't know how to steer):

I may not go as fast as them, but never the less make it I would

Also, regarding "These are built to go vast distances Off Road for a long period of time.": I guess you don't think that Ford finally knows how to build trucks or Winnebago finally knows how to build boxes that can do that too??
