"What If...?"
This is a Daydreaming Special. Totally bucks up. Money is of no importance... Design your own RV from the tires upward. For me, a start would be... A titanium frame for vastly increased ...

High strength to weight ratio? Far in excess of fiberglass? Why do five thousand dollar bicycles have carbon fiber construction?
If you aren't a professional racer, a carbon fiber bike doesn't do much of anything for an average rider. Of course bike frames are put under high stress and often operate right at the edge of failure in an attempt to squeeze just a tiny bit more performance out of the bike.
Side walls of RV's don't need much strength. That's not what drives the thickness (and thus the weight) of the panels. It's puncture resistance but carbon fiber doesn't do a lot for the thickness of a non-structural wall panel.
But again, the first time you have an issue, either you slap basic fiberglass over it (negating the supposed strength advantage) or you have to go to a specialty shop and have the entire panel re-fabricated and replaced. Even if you don't care about the money (which will be huge), you will have delays and hassles.
I suppose if money is no object, you could have a chase semi with a second set of every oddball addition on board to make replacement easy.
