    Biotect I think that most class A motorhomes Americans drive are built on same platform chassis as buses coaches for public transport and these Can run half a milion miles or more without any serious issues. Some people even buy old buses and build their own motorhomes on those,,there was a...

    You must be joking,right? Have you even looked at how advanced these CRSV heads are compared to old obsolete poppet valve diesels? For one it has Better breathing capacity then any 4 valve heads,,no valve spring presure to overcome making more hp in the proces, No need to change oil for 50...

    Have you ever met or know anyone who would be interested in driving this type of vehicle the way you envision? Those big American buses are still limited to good highways so yes they would be very impractical nay impossible to drive anywhere else..especially around the world thru some dirt...

    This is way too impractical to drive anywhere but main superhighways.. Have you consider the cost of servicing all those tires and where to store the spares? Have you ever driven class A bus or motorhome pulling a toad and tried to back it up into some camping spot? Everyone I know driving...
