Have you looked in to some of the really cool expedition vehicles that are made specifically for overlanding? Go to Overland or Overlanding Magazine and take a look. These are quite common in Europe and will fit and are accepted at all campgrounds as far as I know.
Just another suggestion.
Then there was the guy who bought a used fire truck, sold the ladder section for more than he paid for the used truck, and then converted the basic chassis to a large motorhome. It also had a 8V92 engine, and heavy duty 3 axle design. I suppose he could have installed a rear garage over the back axles, and carried a Jeep if desired, and a smaller bedroom above the garage area.
A used 1970's era fire truck normally will only have around 80,000 original miles, as they normally do not see a lot of daily mileage, yet are built on a chassis designed with components that normally sees over the road use of 100,000 miles a year! Yet I wonder if this design would be prohibited from many RV parks, due to it's size and not looking like a typical camper. And the owners reported a 'tin can' problem when they are parked on a beach, or near a trailhead. People would walk by and start knocking on the walls, say "Yes it's real, and probably someone is inside!
