Robert,

I'm an engineer, so ... please provide facts not opinions, if possible, that will raise my Itasca's COG relative to an expedition vehicle's. What would be best is if you would respond to my Itasca's mass-location list that I provided, item by item, comparing it to an actual expedition vehicle typical of those in your photos. You might be surprised as to where their designers wound up putting the heavy parts of the vehicle.

As an engineer you know it is not a sensible thing to take a road based RV Off Road or "Off Pavement" so why do it? Better a 4 X4 .
Your list means very little , I know the E350/E450 are unstable at best on a highway., so how does you packing items at the bottom of the RV improve the handling? i.e even against a Sprinter, another Box on wheels.
You are right I was surprised, more horrified at the construction and general engineering on that Motorhome I drove.
I suggest to you Like I did with the 72 yr old Gent who had extreme fears of flying and rationalized it as the plane falling apart. That you email or write to manufacturers of these Expedition vehicles and ask the pro and cons against your vehicle Off Road. I cannot explain it better, they can. Here are some.
