What? In light of this conversation, your comment about narrow track or land mine issues make no sense at all.

Now, I will continue to focus on your comment that HMMWV's are not "good off-road vehicles". The 002 was inspiration for the HMMWV as the model T was the inspiration for a 1950's hot rod. Inspiration and final product are two COMPLETELY different ball games.

, We know that, Inspiration is different from the vehiclebut my point is the HMMVV is not a basis for a Class C Motorhome, it got dragged in to demonstrate off road ability.Bit of a red herring

Lastly, I will point out that a MAN full size cargo truck once beat EVERY SINGLE COMPETITOR VEHICLE in the Paris-Dakkar race. That truck was HUGE and ran THE toughest off-road race in the world. Don't talk to me about narrow track usage being one of THE defining points of an off-road vehicle.

Thank You for that. MAN trucks are a base for those 'Funny looking Expedition vehicles" No they are bit too big for small tracks like the Hummvee, but are fantastic on desert dunes and taking massive loads Off Road

I still hold that a real military HMMWV is a great off-road vehicle and would make a very solid foundation for a true off-road motorhome.

Going well up to that point. Notice that none have bothered to use one as an Expedition vehicle, although used ones are around and it should be sort after? They are not that brilliant being a a Motorhome, were never designed for it. too heavy and underpowered.
Payload was listed as 5,200lb but that was the earlier lightweight models.The latest Models are dead slow and way too heavy.

Lastly, I will point out that a MAN full size cargo truck once took first overall in the Paris-Dakkar Rally. Not first in class. It beat EVERY SINGLE COMPETITOR VEHICLE in the Paris-Dakkar race.

No it did not. The HDT trucks run last for the categories involved, It did not take First KAMAZ the Russian Truckmaker and IVECO with an Australian designed Powerstar have won that class, The "cars" include Pickups, they are not classified as trucks.Overal winners are divided between the Bikes and cars. In the last race between a Tundra engined Hilux and a 3 Litre Diesel engines "Mini".
