How is the Revel for fragile equipment located underneath the vehicle?
I was thinking along the travel van lines until I looked underneath - lines and tanks and what not hanging in the danger zone...
This is a slightly old thread, so it's probably too late. But here's my recommendation - you can review their website for full information:
1. Look for a used 24 foot Lazy Daze Class C motorhome and have it converted to 4X4 by one of the topnotch 4X4 conversion companies.
2. They're only built on the rugged and reliable "overkill for a 24 foot Class C" Ford E450 chassis, that is easy to service anywhere and that has stock ground clearance at least as good as a stock pickup truck. You can easily increase ground clearance by installing larger than stock diameter tires on it after you buy it.
3. Their coach roof height is low compared to most other Class C motorhomes, and may be in the ballpark of many Class B/B+ motorhomes.
4. Tank sizes are generous and should allow 1-2 weeks of non-hookup camping for one person - and maybe two - if absolutely needed.
5. The coach's outer skin is alumimun everywhere - sides, roof, back, and front.
6. The windows are double pane for a quiet interior that is also easier to heat and cool durinig weather extremes.
7. Lazy Daze does not build Class C motorhomes with slides. This provides for a more trouble-free coach mechanically, and provides for a stronger coach structure when on rough off-highway roads.

A ex military M1049?
Running a business from and RV would require a bit of space and equipment.
You could maximize the off-road capabilities with the right toad such as a Jeep.
Maybe look at the campers made for Jeeps.

Sorry for the long time between replies. Yes, underneath the Revel is somewhat fragile just like any other RV, and that's why I had a RIP (Road Improvement Package) from Agile Off-Road installed, along with larger tires. That combination increased the ground clearance by 3-4". No more clearance problems!
That is a good looking rig
Persoanlly I would build my own. Start with a half decent school bus and convert it to 4x4 and build the insides the way I want it.
the way we do it now is boon dock as far off road as you can with a dp with hiway tires ( not very far) and then explore with either my pickup 4x4 or my side by side 4x4.

Saw a Unimog buried in beach sand a few years ago. I attributed it to operator error.
