Robert .... you're either not reading or not comprehending the underlying concept of what I'm posting.
I drive slow on heavy ruts, angled road surfaces, road washouts, and on heavy washboards with a motorhome .. as all off-highway TTs, 5-ers, Class As, Class B+s, Class Bs, and Class Cs, and Expedition rigs should ... whether they be in Australia or Siberia or Patagonia.
Farmers, ranchers, oil/gas field workers, quarry workers, mine workers, or whatever drivers out in the flat Australian outback on graded gravel roads can go as fast as they need to if their time is their money - as opposed to being out there for pure recreation purposes carrying along a big box full of all kinds of small items.
What's that you mentioned about "police" being out there on remote Australian roads where you'd think that only sportsman or boondockers would be?
My point is ... kind-of-remote off-highway RV boondocking where there's no others around can indeed be done selectively by owners of certain U.S.-built small motorhomes who want to get away from the crowds to camp. The comments I've been posting are to encourage those who haven't tried it but might be thinking about trying it.
There must be something you don't seem to be getting ... or you have some reason(s) to think that a 400 series Ford chassis carrying only 80-85% of it's design maximum isn't up to the task. :h
