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
It does not You do not go Off Road,I have mentioned how lacking in stability it is before.

I have given you names of the Companies and email addresses. just look up the companies on the net, like everyone else.
engineering was to emphasize that the ultimate off road 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.
Seeing you do not go Off Road and you have never seen, been in, or asked the Companies the rationale of why they build them the vehicles like they do you are making a false assumption. Just like my 72yr old "I will never fly in Airplanes" as they are not safe"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
