Robert,
You still have not published track widths (you've provided only one so far) for a bunch of the tall and narrow "funny looking expedition vehicles" that, with admiration, you have shown many photos of.
You seem to keep deflecting from my original point, but please keep in mind that my emphasis was that my tall, but plenty-low COG, U.S. made Winnebago E450 short Itasca Class C with it's almost 8 foot wide rear track has excellent lateral stability on the tipped offroad surfaces we travel on and high cross-winds we experience as compared to an equally tall expedition-type supposedly offroad RV with it's only 5-6 foot wide track. You are welcome to respond in kind to my request for Australian/European/African offroad RV track width specifications - not offroad racing vehicles - but vehicles intended for living in.
By the way my reason for bringing up the HumVee as an example of professional purpose-built engineering was to emphasize that the ultimate offroad vehicle, including any expensive expedition vehicle intended for living in and going where there are no roads to speak of ... must be wide in relation to it's height due to the basic physics required for stability.
The HumVee has an extreme width to height ratio and so cannot be stood up in, hence it's not an "RV". BUT, it's suspension design could be used in a higher and longer expedition vehicle so as to better maintain ground clearance without having to resort to tires as tall. As you know, tall tires make it necessary to raise the living area up very high - which runs counter to optimizing COG for tip-angle and side-wind stability.
